Singer Grimes lashed out at her ex-partner Elon Musk as she took to social media to accuse him of having previously blocked her on his own social media platform X

Grimes has hit out at ex-partner Elon Musk, claiming he blocked her on his social media platform X. The musician, who has three children with the Tesla Motors CEO, responded after an X user noticed she no longer appeared to follow Musk on the site. Taking to social media, Grimes clarified the situation for her followers.

She wrote, “For context I am just living my life. He followed me and unblocked me. I am not gna be following and unfollowing. My only priority is co-parenting. I am not interested in public dramatics. It is so silly lol [sic].”

Back in 2021, Musk revealed they were “semi-separated” while continuing to raise their first child together, X Æ A-Xii Musk, who was born in 2020. Despite this, the pair welcomed two more children: daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, born via surrogate in December 2021, and son Techno Mechanicus in June 2022.

Though the precise nature of their current relationship remains unclear, the former couple has a history of public disagreements. As recently as last month, Grimes delivered a stark eight-word warning about the X owner and the “imminent threat” posed by a man she “can’t control” when it comes to their children.

The artist, whose birth name is Claire Elise Boucher, expressed her view that “the biggest imminent threat is just outsourcing thinking”, in reference to AI services. Her ex and billionaire SpaceX owner has embedded several types of AI into the social media site X.

Back in February, he declared Grok 3 is “the smartest AI on Earth” during a presentation on X. Asserting that studies have demonstrated AI “atrophies the brain,” she told Doomscroll’s Joshua Citarella, referring to AI, “I’m tired of experimenting on kids, you know, smoking, McDonald’s, and now we’re gonna do it with this?”.

Musk’s platform, featuring both text and image-based AI, is accessible to anyone aged 13 and above. Currently, no age verification system exists when creating an X account.

While the mother-of-three believes AI could potentially cause kids to “die”, conversely, she also expresses enthusiasm about a forthcoming AI revolution. Grimes added, “In some ways I can’t wait for super-intelligence – in some ways I can’t wait. It’s not as easy since I’ve had kids.”

Back in October 2023, Grimes submitted a petition seeking to establish parental rights for all three children, based on online documents reviewed by PEOPLE. Subsequently, in November 2024, the artist revealed she had postponed releasing fresh music due to being caught up in a custody dispute with Musk.

“Spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers rights having my instagram posts and modelling used as reasons I shouldn’t have my kids and fighting and detaching from the love if my life as he comes unrecognisable to me, with a fraction of his resources (or iq/strategy experience),” she wrote on X at the time. “All the while I didn’t see one of my babies for 5 months,” she added, noting, “And this is only what can be said publicly, since most of my experience these last years should remain behind closed doors.”

Several months later, Grimes expressed her frustration with Musk’s parenting after he took their eldest child, X, who was 4 years old at the time, to the Oval Office on February 11. Shortly afterward, Grimes revealed that she had been unaware of her son’s public appearance and only discovered it through an X user.

Married At First Sight star Lauren Dunn has explained she ‘ran for her life’ as armed terrorists opened fire on Bondi Beach, which has seen dozens injured and 12 people dead

A Married At First Sight star “ran for her life” during the Bondi Beach terror attack. Lauren Dunn, who appeared on the show last year, only recently moved to the area.

Earlier today, over 1,000 people were attending an event on the beach to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Two gunmen opened fire from a small bridge, crossing from a car park and heading towards the beach. New South Wales police responded to reports of gunfire at around 18:47 local time (7:47am GMT), with hundreds of people fleeing from the scene.

It has since been confirmed that at least 12 people, including London-born rabbi Eli Schlanger, have been killed. One of the offenders has been killed, while the second remains in custody.

A heroic bystander, Ahmed al Ahemd, 43, was seen rushing to confront one gunman and eventually disarmed him. Lauren, 37, has now explained that she had headed out of her flat to grab food on what was supposed to have been a chill night.

At first, she heard what she believed to be a car backfiring, which was nothing out of the ordinary. “Then people started running and screaming, and the police shouted for everyone to get inside,” she said.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, she added that she “ran for her life” and saw countless people running from the festival on the beach, which included children petting “fluffy animals”. Despite Lauren making it back to her apartment, some of her friends were not as fortunate.

She said that a group chat with friends was flooded with videos from the scene, which showed “dead bodies everywhere.” Lauren watched from her balcony as helicopters started to circle the beach, as a warning from loudspeakers urged people to stay indoors. She added: “It’s so disgusting, it’s people just living their lives. I can’t believe this has happened here.

“In the US, you see it every week. You don’t ever expect to see it in Bondi.” One of the shooters has since been identified as Naveed Akram after police raided his home in Western Sydney.

Around 29 people, including two police officers, have been injured and rushed to hospitals across Sydney. Suspicious items had also been found in the area, including an improvised explosive device.

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns told a press conference: “I very sadly need to report that, as of now, there are at least 12 individuals that have been killed.

“One of the offenders has also been killed and one is in custody. This attack was designed to target Sydney’s Jewish community on the first day of Hanukkah, what should have been a night of peace and joy celebrated in that community with families and supporters, has been shattered by this horrifying evil attack.”

New South Wales Police Commissioner, Mal Lanyan, told a press conference that the incident had been declared as a terrorist incident and police now have special powers to investigate the possibility of a third offender.

He said: “At about 6.47pm this evening, police started to receive a number of reports of shots fired at Archer Park at Bondi. Archer Park is a grassed area just north of the Bondi pavilion. Police responded promptly.

“Unfortunately, at least 12 people are deceased at this time, 29 people have been transported to various hospitals around the Sydney area, including two police officers.

“The condition of those officers and the other transported are serious, but there is a range of conditions. Our thoughts, prayers and love go to all the families and all of those that were involved tonight, we know that there were many people there to celebrate a happy occasion, the celebration of Hannukah.

Former Love Island star Zara McDermott looked blissfully happy as she posed alongside her boyfriend One Direction star Louis Tomlinson while they celebrated her birthday together

Zara McDermott has shared her first photo with boyfriend Louis Tomlinson on Instagram. The former Love Island star was delighted as she celebrated her 29th birthday alongside the One Direction star and couldn’t help but share her happiness.

Zara beamed as she posed in the snap alongside Louis, 33, wearing a brown beanie hat and brown faux fur coat. Louis also smiled as he leant in to the picture which was taken in a frosty looking outdoor countryside setting.

Captioning the snap as she enthused about her big day alongside Louis she wrote: “The best birthday ever with you & the final year of my 20’s!!” She also added a series of emojis including love hearts, a Christmas tree and logs.

The adorable update for the couple comes after her ex Sam Thompson said she took one of his favourite things. The former Made In Chelsea star, 33, dated Zara for five years before the couple decided to go their separate ways in January.

But soon after she left Sam’s Chelsea home, which she had moved into, he claims to have noticed that she had taken his Crocs with her. Sam made the admission while on the Staying Relevant podcast he shared with former TOWIE star Pete Wicks.

During their latest episode, Pete asked Sam what he would choose to wear to a high profile fashion event, to which Sam said Crocs, without hesitation. He said: “Got to be the Crocs. Shock value. Get the jelly shoes on.”

In response Pete said: “You haven’t worn the Crocs for some time now because you…” Pete wasn’t able to finish his sentence before Sam then chimed in and said: “Yeah, Zara took them.” Feeling sorry for his best pal, Pete simply said “Oh god.”

In a bid to not dwell on his break up and the loss of his beloved possession, he changed the subject swiftly. He went on to say: “I need a new pair of Crocs. I actually don’t have any Crocs.”

The conversation surrounding his break-up comes after he revealed that he had finally made his relationship with Talitha Balinska, official. Sam has been dating Talitha, 25, for a few months but recently announced that she was now his girlfriend.

Sam and Talitha first met two years ago when she modelled for Sam’s sunglasses brand, Dinelli, which he co-owns with former Made In Chelsea’s Reza Amiri Garroussi.

At the time, Sam was in a relationship with Zara but he is thought to have reconnected with her when she was invited to one of his live shows at the O2 Arena. Unable to contain his excitement, he informed his listeners of his news. He said: “I’ve got a girlfriend. I’ve got a girlfriend!”

Zara and Louis meanwhile will reportedly spend Christmas together as their relationship goes from strength to strength. The couple who started dating in March will celebrate their first Christmas together alongside his son, Freddie, and his family including his sister Lottie and twins Phoebe and Daisy.

According to a source, Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa are set to take their relationship to the next level over the festive period with Chris preparing to pop the question

This Christmas could see a double celebration for couple-of-the-moment Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa, with both an engagement and baby-making plans on the horizon. According to a source, the lovebirds – who fell for one another while starring on Celebrity Big Brother in April – are set to take their relationship to the next level over the festive period, with Chris preparing to pop the question.

“They are very, very loved-up,” says our source. “They’re both very family-oriented and have common interests, and I know JoJo is really wanting to start a family. But so is Chris – more than her, actually – so I reckon it will be on the cards. It will be spoken about over Christmas and they’re going to have a wonderful festive period together. I think it will happen sooner rather than later.”

In fact, the couple are so eager to hear the patter of tiny feet, our source says we shouldn’t have to wait too long before there’s some good news to celebrate in 2026.

“All going well, I think they could announce a pregnancy early next year,” our source claims. “I know Chris would love it.” What’s more, a festive proposal is also in the pipeline, with besotted Chris keen to put a ring on it.

“I don’t think anyone would be surprised if they got engaged over Christmas,” says the source. “They’re the perfect match. They’re always smiling and laughing and are so into each other. So I can really see that [a proposal] happening, as well as the family for next year.”

The happy news will come as a relief to fans who were thrown into a panic last month after Chris, who turns 33 on 22 December, revealed on Celebrity MasterChef that he’s currently “single”. Telling viewers he lives alone, he added, “I’ve been single for three years, so it’s not like I’m cooking for anyone. If I’m just cooking for myself… no one can appreciate it, apart from me.

“It’s quite sad really, isn’t it? I need someone there to show off to in the kitchen.” Baffled viewers flocked to social media to air their confusion, with one asking, “Was this recorded before Chris and JoJo got together? Cause he just said one day I want to have a GF #celebritymasterchef.”

A second questioned, “Why is Chris saying he’s been single for 3 years? This was filmed after he met JoJo surely?! #masterchefuk.” Thankfully, another fan was quick to set the record straight, explaining, “They announced in May that he had filmed MasterChef before Big Brother. They didn’t know if it was ever actually going to air.”

Since their unlikely romance first blossomed, Chris and the former Dance Moms star’s relationship has gone from strength to strength, with the pair enjoying a blissful getaway in the Bahamas just last month.

Sharing a carousel of loved-up snaps online, smitten JoJo, 22, gave fans a glimpse of her and Chris’ sunshine break, which showed them enjoying dips in the hotel pool, playing tennis and golf together and cuddling on the beach.

“Our first holiday together,” she captioned her post on TikTok. “A perfect week in the Bahamas with my best friend, my forever love.” While JoJo is yet to speak publicly about her baby plans, she has already opened up about her dream wedding, insisting that Chris – who dated Little Mix star Jesy Nelson from January 2019 to April 2020, and split from pro golfer Annabel Dimmock in 2022 – will be very much part of the planning.

“A wedding is a two-person thing, so we would have to decide what it looks like,” she said. “But I do know that I want it to have a baby blue scheme and I need to help Chris make the playlist.” Chris famously reached the Love Island final alongside Olivia Atwood in 2017, and has since gone on to forge a career as a horse racing commentator on both the BBC and ITV. But it is his surprise romance with JoJo that’s really thrust him back into the spotlight.

Despite initially claiming their bond was based solely on friendship, in June JoJo – who was dating non-binary Australian influencer Kath Ebbs when she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house – confessed they’d fallen for one another, saying, “It’s not platonic any more, and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.”

Echoing her sentiments, Chris described JoJo as “literally the love of my life”. In October, the couple made their first joint red carpet appearance at the Dancers Against Cancer 2025 Gala Of The Stars in LA, while the singer referred to Chris’ parents as her “future in-laws” when they went to see her in concert in Birmingham.

With Chris already close to JoJo’s mum and dad, our source says that both sets of parents are on board with their baby plans.

“The families are just really happy,” we’re told. “They have met and they adore it because Chris and JoJo are so happy. This isn’t a showbiz thing for the press. It’s the genuine article, so their families are happy that they want a family. It’s just all going in the right direction.”

One sticking point could be on which side of the pond Chris and JoJo finally choose to settle down. While Chris’ career as a sports pundit is very much based in the UK, JoJo has a huge fan base Stateside, where she’s been in the spotlight since she was 11 years old.

Our source says, “She’d rather be in LA than here and has looked for a house there.” Looks like the Hughes family could be clocking up some pretty serious Air Miles in the future, then.

However, the singer who performs in the The Shane Nolan Band, reassured fans that he was on the mend and would be back soon. Shane added: “Back next week to finish the Christmas run. Have a good night tonight if you’re out and about and be safe.”

Just a few hours before he cancelled the show, the new dad told fans that he had been ill all week but admitted the “show must go on”. However it’s been a tough few days for Shane, who rushed his new baby to A&E in a terrifying time for the famous family.

Loose Women star Coleen revealed that her five-week old grandson was rushed to hospital after developing a high temperature, leaving the family worried.

The Nolan Sisters star shared her concern during her appearance on this week’s Loose Women, where she also said Shane had been dealing with a severe flu and a temperature.

The announcement came as the presenters were discussing the flu jabs, to which Coleen mentioned her recent experience with the virus after her son Shane and his girlfriend Kim welcomed their son last month.

She shared: “My son only in the last couple of days, it’s hit him and he had a temperature of like 102, and then because they have Cruz, who is only 5 weeks old, his temperature started to go up so they rushed him to A&E.

“Then all of a sudden it becomes a reality. Kim, Shane’s partner, she was saying that at A&E it was just packed out with people who were there with the flu.”

Proud grandma Coleen celebrated the news of Cruz-Carter’s safe arrival on social media last month saying she was “obsessed” with her new grandchild.

Sharing a snap of herself holding the bundle of joy, she wrote: “Just when I thought I had no more love to give , along came you… Cruz-Carter 6lb 6oz. I’m obsessed with you already!”

Strictly Come Dancing winner Kelvin Fletcher has spoken out on fellow famous farmer Jeremy Clarkson, after documenting his own journey into agriculture alongside his wife and children on Fletchers’ Family Farm.

Former Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher, 41, has made his stance on Jeremy Clarkson, 65, clear, after following in the presenter’s footsteps when he and his wife, Liz, purchased a 120-acre plot of land in Wincle, Cheshire back in 2021.

The family have been keeping fans up to date with their farming journey on their ITV show, while Jeremy has been fronting his hit Clarkson’s Farm series on Amazon Prime after taking charge of Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds.

During an appearance on the Motorhome Matt podcast, Kelvin, who is appearing in Fletchers’ Country Workshop this weekend, was quick to respond when host Matt mischievously described the Strictly champion as the “good looking Clarkson in the farming world.”

Kelvin politely replied: “I think Clarkson is pretty good looking anyway, so, you know, I’m the shorter version of him really, with a lot less ground and probably, maybe, a little bit less abrasive.”

“And better teeth,” Matt brutally interjected, to which Kelvin responded: “Oh, I don’t know… yeah, yeah, yeah.”

Kelvin previously responded to viewers making comparisons between his farm series and Jeremy’s during an appearance on ITV’s This Morning last year.

The star, who is dad to Marnie, Milo, Maximus and Mateusz, said: “Clarkson’s [Farm] is fantastic. Matt Baker’s as well, we’ve seen Our Yorkshire Farm, there’s so many shows like that. They all represent, it’s informative TV, it’s a sense of escapism.

“They’re all unique in their own way. Clarkson’s got a huge endeavour there, a massive commercial business and it’s hilarious as well. Whereas, this is just a little family farm, for us it’s all about living.”

In Kelvin’s ITV series, Fletchers’ Family Farm, fans are given a candid insight into their rural lifestyle.

Opening up on his and Liz’s decision to uproot their family and settle on a farm with absolutely no previous experience, Kelvin admitted he’s aware the choice sounds ‘crazy’.

He said: “We haven’t come from farming backgrounds. We have literally taken a leap of faith and done the unthinkable and decided to uproot and move out to the middle of nowhere and start living off the land.

“As crazy as it sounds, that is exactly what we have done.”
