A huge Japanese pop star, Ayumi Hamasaki, has addressed the rumours that she secretly had Elon Musk’s baby.
The speculation started when another of the women Musk had a child with – MAGA author and influencer Ashley St. Clair – told The New York Times that he had a baby with a Japanese pop star.
Hamasaki quickly became the primary suspect as fans discussed which J-Pop star St. Clair might have been referring to.
‘I’ve been keeping an eye on this, and I guess it’s time for me to speak up. Elon Musk is not the father of [either of] my children,’ Hamasaki wrote on her Instagram Story, according to Tokyo Weekender.
Hamasaki, 46, has two sons with two different men, born in 2019 and 2021. She has never revealed the identities of the fathers.
According to text messages obtained by The Wall Street Journal, Musk texted St. Clair in 2023 about meeting with ‘Japanese officials’ about becoming a sperm donor for a high-profile Japanese woman.
‘He made it seem like it was just his altruism and he generally believed these people should just have children,’ St. Clair, who gave birth to his 13th child last year, said.
‘They want me to be a sperm donor. No romance or anything, just sperm,’ Musk texted St. Clair before telling her he had agreed to give his sperm to the woman.
Musk has previously claimed that ‘civilization is going to crumble’ if people don’t continue to have children, and views his paternal contributions as a way of combating this.
Hamasaki laughed off the rumours, admitting its the kind of thing she might do: ‘Even my mom laughed when she heard the rumours, saying, “This seems kind of Ayu-like,” and if I were someone else, I’d probably be saying “Ayu is the pop star [St Clair] was talking about, right?” But it’s just not true,’ she said on Instagram.
She continued, in a more serious tone: ‘Setting aside my personal image, when my kids are old enough to start Googling things, I don’t want them to run into the rumors and think they’re true, so I’m firmly denying them,’ the singer added.
Hamasaki is the best-selling solo artist in Japan, having sold over 50million albums and earning her the title ‘Empress of Pop’ across all of Asia.
As of 2025, Musk has fathered at least 14 children with four different women.
Musk’s first known children were with his ex-wife Justine Wilson, a Canadian author. The couple had six children together: Their first son, Nevada Alexander, tragically died of SIDS at just 10 weeks old.
They later welcomed twins, Griffin and Vivian, in 2004, followed by triplets, Kai, Saxon, and Damian, in 2006.
In 2022, Vivian publicly distanced herself from Musk, coming out as transgender, legally changing her name, and adopting her mother’s surname.
Musk also shares three children with musician Grimes (Claire Boucher). Their first child, X Æ A-Xii, was born in 2020 and became a viral sensation thanks to his name.
He was also spotted at the White House last week – without his mother’s consent.
‘He should not be in public like this,’ Grimes wrote following the appearance. ‘I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.’
In 2021, the couple welcomed a daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, via surrogate. Despite a publicly rocky relationship, they had a third child, Techno Mechanicus (nicknamed Tau), reportedly born in 2024.
In 2021, Musk quietly had twins with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his brain-computer interface company Neuralink. The births weren’t publicly known until court documents surfaced in 2022.
Since then, Zilis and Musk have had two more children: one in early 2024 and another – a son named Seldon Lycurgus – in February 2025.
His child with St. Clair was only revealed in February, after St Clair, who has over a million followers on X wrote: ‘Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.’
She added: ‘I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days, it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.’
After the billionaire commented ‘whoa’ in response, St Clair wrote a now deleted comment: ‘Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days, and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?’
