Billionaire chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX Elon Musk is reportedly dating 27-year-old Australian actress Natasha Bassett.
In September, the 50-year-old tycoon announced that he was separated from his Canadian girlfriend Grimes after three years together. Musk has a one-year-old son X Æ A-Xii Musk with singer Grimes. “We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms,” he had said.
Last year, in an Instagram post, Grimes had mentioned she was ‘still living’ with Musk after their break-up.
The Tesla boss has been divorced three times, twice to the same woman. He was married to Canadian author Justine Wilson from 2000 to 2008 before exchanging vows with actress Talulah Riley in 2010. He’s had six children from three different relationships.
According to Bassett, she has fallen for the billionaire’s brains, “not his bank balance”, reports Daily Mail. At present, Musk has a net worth of $212 billion as the richest person on earth, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Worth mentioning here is that Musk often grabs the headlines for his scientific experiments and predictions.
Citing sources, the daily mentioned that Bassett had been following Musk for quite some time, and the two first became good friends. After his split with musician Grimes, Musk got into a romantic relationship with the Australian actress. Recently, Bassett was spotted leaving Musk’s private jet in Los Angeles.
“She’s gorgeous and could have her pick of men but says she adores Elon because he’s so smart and interesting to be around,” it said.
Bassett will appear in the upcoming Elvis Presley biopic, playing the role of his girlfriend, Dixie Locke. She also played Britney Spears in the Lifetime movie “Britney Ever After”.
