Elon Musk has been officially confirmed as the father of Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair’s son, Romulus.
The paternity was verified through a Labcorp DNA test, showing a 99.999% probability that Musk is the biological father, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. A spokesperson for St. Clair also confirmed the result to People magazine.
This confirmation follows months of speculation after St. Clair announced in September 2024 that she had welcomed a child with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO. Until now, the baby’s name and paternity had remained undisclosed.
The child’s name—Romulus—evokes the legendary founder of Rome and aligns with Musk’s trend of selecting distinctive names for his children. This brings the billionaire’s known number of children to 14, shared with four other women, including musician Grimes and author Justine Musk.
Details about Musk’s current relationship with St. Clair remain unclear. Previous online rumors had linked them as co-parents, but neither party has publicly discussed the nature of their relationship.
Requests for further comment from St. Clair have gone unanswered as of this writing.
