Pop idol Ayumi Hamasaki addresses rampant Elon Musk paternity speculations in public statement.
Ayumi Hamasaki, the Japanese pop sensation, recently squashed rumors about her having a secret child with Elon Musk. The speculation emerged when Musk's ex-partner, Ashley St Clair, hinted at Musk being a father to multiple children around the world, including one with a Japanese pop star [1][2][3].
The resemblance between Hamasaki's fashion sense and that of Musk's past partners sparked further huge curiosity [1][3]. However, Hamasaki took to her social media account to quash the rumors once and for all, replying "The father of my children is not Mr. Elon Musk." She further explained that while her mother found the rumor comical, she felt it essential to deny it to prevent her children from finding misleading information about their paternal identity [1][2].
It's worth noting that Musk is known to have fathered 14 children. He shares six with his first wife, Justine Wilson, three with singer Grimes, and reportedly four more with Neuralink executive, Shivon Zilis [1][2]. But, rest assured, Ayumi Hamasaki is not among them.
