His parents were in the sixth year of their marriage which lasted only eight years when they had him. By that time, his billionaire father had already founded and sold PayPal and had also started SpaceX and Tesla. His mother had also already published her 2005 novel Blood Angel, which means that Damian was born at a time when his parents had already established themselves.

Despite this, he still grew up having a very normal life. According to a woman who claimed to have once babysat Damian and his siblings, he is a well-mannered kid, just like his brothers. She revealed that her encounter with the kids came after she was hired to care for the kids of a couple, during which the Musk triplets were also brought for a three-day sleepover.

As regards his educational pursuits, he had his early education in Los Angeles, California. However, he later moved to the school founded by his father, Ad Astra Academy.

The Marriage between His Parents Ended in Divorce

In 2008, eight years after Damian Musk’s parents got married and two years after the kid was born, his parents went their separate ways in divorce. Justine announce the end of the marriage in September of that year, describing it as a good run which was sad to come to an end, although it was necessary. She added that the couple married when they were young, and they took it as far as they could.

The pair met at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada. While there, Musk tried getting Justine, but she was not interested, but years later, after they both left college, he reached back, and they began dating, and then in 2010, they became man and wife. Eight years and six kids later, they called it quits.

The cause of the divorce between Damian’s parents has not been made clear. Initially, there was the claim that Musk left his wife for Talulah Riley, but the PayPal founder cleared the air, indicating that there was no third-party case in their divorce. Damian and his siblings were in the custody of their mom while his father paid for their upkeep.

What is Damian Musk’s Relationship With His Parents Like?

Despite the divorce between his parents at a time when he was still very young, the celebrity kid has grown to have a great relationship with both Elon and Justine. It is easy for him to have them both in his life because even though he was with his mom, his parents had joint custody of their kids. They also maintained a healthy relationship for the sake of the kids.

Elon Musk once revealed that he spends almost all his non-working hours with his boys, including Damian. He made it known that the boys are the love of his life, so he split custody so that he could see them every day.

Damian Musk has not stated anything about his relationship with his father. The only kid of the family who has been open is Vivian Jenna Wilson, who, after changing her gender and name, disowned her father, indicating that the relationship between them was not solid.

The billionaire SpaceX CEO has also been pictured attending various events with Damian and his other sons. One such event was a visit to Pope Francis in 2022. The photo of the visit was shared by Musk himself on Twitter.
