Revealed: Elon Musk’s Secret Baby With Influencer Ashley St. Clair Named Romulus

Name Revealed: Tech Billionaire’s Secret Baby With Young Influencer

The mystery surrounding Elon Musk’s newest addition to his expanding family tree has finally been solved. According to a bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal, the baby boy previously known only by the initials R.S.C. has been identified as Romulus, son of 26-year-old influencer Ashley St. Clair.

The revelation comes amid escalating tensions between the Tesla founder and St. Clair, who made headlines earlier this year when she publicly claimed Musk had fathered her child born in September 2024.

99.9999% Certainty: Paternity Test Results Leave No Doubt

Any lingering questions about the baby’s paternity appear to be definitively answered. The Wall Street Journal report revealed Labcorp testing showed Musk’s “Probability of Paternity” stands at a virtually conclusive 99.9999%.

A spokesperson for St. Clair confirmed these findings to PEOPLE, verifying both the paternity results and the child’s mythologically-inspired name. This makes Romulus the 14th known child for Musk, who shares his other children with three different women.

The name choice is particularly notable given its historical significance – in Roman mythology, Romulus was one of twin brothers raised by a wolf who later founded Rome. Whether the name carries special meaning for either parent remains unclear.

The Public Revelation: How Their Secret Became Public

The saga began in February 2025 when St. Clair took to X (formerly Twitter) with a surprise announcement that sent social media into a frenzy. In her post, she claimed she’d kept the birth secret for months to protect her child’s privacy.

“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” she wrote. “I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.”

St. Clair emphasized her desire for normalcy, stating: “I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.”

Child Support Drama: The Tesla Sale That Raised Eyebrows

The situation took another dramatic turn in late March when St. Clair was filmed selling her Tesla Model S. Speaking to the Daily Mail during the handover, she made the explosive claim that she was forced to sell the vehicle because Musk had slashed their child support payments.

“I’m selling the car to compensate for the 60 percent cut that Elon made to our son’s child support,” she told reporters in a video that quickly went viral across social media platforms and celebrity news outlets.

Musk’s Response: Millions Provided Despite Uncertainty?

The billionaire entrepreneur quickly fired back at these claims. On March 31, responding to commentary about the Tesla sale video, Musk denied retaliating financially against St. Clair and their child.

“I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed,” Musk wrote on X, seemingly contradicting the now-public paternity test results.

In the same post, he made surprising financial claims: “Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.” This statement raised eyebrows among celebrity legal analysts given the timing of the paternity test results.

Adding to the Musk Family Empire

Little Romulus joins an already extensive family tree. The tech magnate now has 14 known children with four different women – a modern family structure as unconventional as many of his business ventures.

This latest addition has reignited public fascination with Musk’s personal life, which often seems to generate as many headlines as his business endeavors with Tesla, SpaceX, and his other ventures.

What Happens Next for Baby Romulus?

With paternity now officially established, questions remain about the ongoing financial arrangements and co-parenting relationship between the billionaire and the young influencer.

While St. Clair has publicly emphasized her desire for privacy and normalcy for her son, the high-profile nature of the situation and ongoing disputes suggest Romulus’s early life may continue to play out partially in the public eye.

Whether the pair will reach a more amicable arrangement following the paternity confirmation remains to be seen. As this story continues to develop, the world watches with interest as another chapter in Elon Musk’s complicated personal life unfolds.
