With five albums under her belt, Grimes knows a thing or two when it comes to music and it looks like she may have passed on that genius to her 10-month-old baby boy.
The Canadian singer/songwriter is mum to son X AE A-Xii, who she shares with partner Elon Musk.
The duo welcomed their first child in May last year and since then, Grimes has mostly kept her son out of the spotlight.
However, fans have been treated to the odd adorable update on Instagram, including the time Grimes tried to give X AE A-Xii – pronounced X Ash A 12 – a DIY haircut.
In her latest upload, the mum-of-one proves that her baby boy could be set to following in her musical footsteps, as she shared the most adorable clip of him playing with a baby synthesiser.
As he set to work, Grimes gushed: ‘Omg this solo.’
Seems like X AE A-Xii was pretty chuffed with his efforts too, as he was later seen flashing a huge grin and giggling away, while simultaneously melting our ovaries.
Speaking to New York Times, Grimes – whose real name is Claire Boucher – opened up about
The couple began dating in 2018 and welcomed their first child together in May.
Despite his young age, it seems X AE A-Xii already shares his father’s interests as Grimes recently shared a photo of him reading a book about space.
Some of X AE A-Xii’s other hobbies apparently include radical art and watching Apocalypse Now.
Speaking to New York Times, Grimes opened up about some of her son’s unusual interest and her unique approach to parenting.
She told the publication: ‘They [babies] definitely like some things. They don’t like other things. They fully have opinions.
‘I’ve watched Apocalypse Now and stuff with my baby. He’s into radical art. Like, he just actually is, and I don’t think it’s problematic to engage with them on that level.’
Grimes explained: ‘I don’t want your first introduction to the world to just be all this aimless crap. I’m not insulting babies. I’m just – it’s all very one vibe.’
She and boyfriend Elon first began dating in 2018 and went public with their romance that year at the Met Gala.
Grimes confirmed in January 2020 that she was pregnant, with the couple’s first child together making his arrival four months later in May.
While X AE A-Xii is Grimes’ first child, Tesla founder Elon is already dad to five children from his previous marriage to ex-wife Justine Wilson. Their first child, son Nevada, died of sudden infant death syndrome in 2002.
Speaking about fatherhood previously, Elon has shared the love he has for being a dad and once told a conference audience: ‘You guys should all have kids, kids are great.’
