The Reason Behind Their Split
In the BBC documentary titled ‘The Elon Musk Show’, Riley talked about how Musk was as a person. She said that the media reports that call Musk “cold and emotionless” are false.
She said, “nothing could be further from the truth.” Riley talked about remarrying him. “I suppose the reason to get remarried was just because it felt silly to be together unmarried after having been married. You know, it’s like a habit.”
In an interview, the Tesla CEO said that he “simply fell out of love” with Riley and decided to move on with his life. Before Riley, Musk was married to Canadian author Justine Wilson between 2000 and 2008. He was also in a relationship with musician Grimes and they share two sons together.
