Billionaire businessman Elon Musk has become a father for the 12th time.

The 52-year-old reportedly welcomed his third child into the world with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis — with whom he also has two-year-old twins Strider and Azure - earlier this year.

It is not known what sex the baby is, or their name.

“He’s fathered at least 12 children, six of them in the past five years — three with the musician Grimes and three with Neuralink Corp’s director of special projects, Shivon Zilis, including one who hasn’t been known to the public until now,” Bloomberg reported.

“That child was born earlier this year, according to people familiar with the matter, who would only discuss it on condition of anonymity.

“Zilis declined to comment, and Musk didn’t respond to inquiries.”

Musk also has 20-year-old twins and 18-year-old triplets with ex-wife Justine Wilson, and the pair tragically lost their first child due to sudden infant death syndrome at just 10 weeks old.

Musk is also father to X, four, Exa, aka Y, two, and baby Techno, who is known as Tau, with singer Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher.
