Elon Musk has denied having an affair with Nicole Shanahan, the wife of his long-term friend and Google co-founder, Sergey Brin.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the Tesla CEO's friendship with Brin had ended because of the alleged affair.
But Musk has denied the claims - replying to a link to the story on Twitter, he said: "This is total bs.
"Sergey and I are friends and were at a party together last night!
"I’ve only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. Nothing romantic."
As he continued to reply to comments on the post, he went on to say: "Haven’t even had sex in ages (sigh)."
It's not the first time that Musk has been accused of affairs - earlier this month it was revealed he'd secretly fathered twins with a top executive at one of his companies, just weeks before welcoming his second baby with Grimes.
As the billionaire becomes subject to cheating allegations again, here's a look back at his previous relationships and accusations of infidelity.
Justine Musk
Justine Musk was Elon Musk's first wife.
The pair met while at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada together in the 1990s.
The couple married in 2000 and welcomed their first son Nevada in 2002.
Unfortunately, Nevada tragically died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) when he was just 10 weeks old.
They went on to have five more children together; a set of twins in 2004 and a set of triplets in 2006.
But their relationship didn't last and they divorced in 2008.
In a piece for Marie Claire in 2010, Justine opened up about their marriage claiming that she was just a "starter wife" for Musk.
She also said: “It was a dream lifestyle, privileged and surreal.
"But the whirlwind of glitter couldn't disguise a growing void at the core. Elon was obsessed with his work.”
Talulah Riley
After splitting from college sweetheart Justine, Musk started dating actress Talulah Riley.
Musk proposed to Riley just six weeks after filing for divorce from Justine and the pair went on to marry in 2010.
Their marriage only lasted two years before they divorced in 2012 but the couple reconciled and married for the second time in 2013.
However, in 2016 their marriage ended for good and they got their second divorce.
Despite divorcing him twice, Talulah is still on good terms with Musk.
Speaking about what their marriage was like, she told The Independent: “Elon was great. He had me alongside for all of that.
"So it wasn’t like I was stuck in a mansion in Bel Air like a trophy wife, which would not have been fun. I did, of course, witness that for others. But luckily, that was not my fate.”
Amber Heard
Following his final split from Riley, Musk went on to date Aquaman actress Amber Heard in 2016.
He dated heard in late 2016, shortly after her divorce from Johnny Depp.
But in his defamation lawsuit in 2019, Depp accused Heard of cheating on him with Elon Musk, claiming the pair actually started their relationship in March 2016, a month after he and Heard married.
In 2020 it was also claimed in legal depositions that Musk had had a three-way hook-up with Amber Heard and model Cara Delevingne.
Despite the allegations, Musk has denied the threesome and also denied that Amber had an affair with him while she was with Depp.
He told Page Six: "Cara and I are friends, but we’ve never been intimate. She would confirm this.
“Also, I wish to confirm again that Amber and I only started going out about a month after her divorce filing. I don’t think I was ever even in the vicinity of Amber during their marriage!”
Amber and Elon's relationship didn't last very long, they split after less than a year in 2017 due to their busy work schedules.
Grimes
In April 2018, Musk began dating singer Grimes, who's real name is Claire Boucher.
The pair announced that they were expecting their first child together in January 2020.
In May 2020, they welcomed their son, who they famously named X Æ A-12.
However, a year later the pair confirmed that they had split after three years together.
Musk told Page Six: “We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms."
Despite their "semi-separation" however, Musk and Grimes went on to welcome a second child together via surrogacy in December 2021.
Announcing the secret birth of their daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, to Vanity Fair in March 2022, Grimes confirmed that she was back together with Musk as she referred to him as her "boyfriend".
But just hours after the story was published, Grimes confirmed that they had split once again.
Shivon Zilis
Earlier this month, news broke that Musk had secretly fathered twins with a woman called Shivon Zilis.
Zilis is a top executive at Musk's company Neuralink and has worked for him since 2016.
In November 2021, she and Musk welcomed twins together, just weeks before he welcomed his second child with Grimes.
It's not known what type of relationship Musk has with Zilis, but their secret children were revealed after court documents filed in April showed that they had requested for the twins to have their father's last name.
