Errol, Elon Musk’s father, has admitted that he had a hidden love child with Jana Bezuidenhout, his stepdaughter. The 76-year-old said in an interview with The Sun that he had a daughter with Bezuidenhout, 35, in 2019.
He was cited as saying, “The only thing we are on Earth for is reproduction. Notably, Elon Musk, who recently had twins with a Neuralink executive, concurs with this notion.
Elliot Rush, the couple’s already existing kid, is now five years old.
Errol went on to say that they had never intended to have more children and that, due to their 41-year age difference, he no longer lives with Bezuidenhout. After the birth of their first kid, he claimed that they had only been living together for 18 months.
“It’s not useful. She’s 35… She might end up back with me eventually, if I’m still around,” the 76-year-old was quoted as saying.
About Errol Musk
Rich South African engineer Errol first tied the knot with model Maye Haldeman Musk in 1970. Elon, Kimbal, and Tosca are their three joint children.
After their divorce, in 1979, Errol married Heide, the mother of Bezuidenhout’s two children. Bezuidenhout’s stepfather, Errol, adopted her when she was just 4 years old.
For eighteen years, they were a couple. They have two kids together.
The revelation that Errol had a kid with Jana in 2017 shocked the Musk family, however, and caused a tense break-up with his other children, including Tesla CEO Elon.
‘Unplanned’ pregnancy with stepdaughter’s second child
Musk said in his interview with The Sun that his second child with Bezuidenhout was “unplanned.” Because of their 41-year age difference, he continued, they are no longer together.
“Even if you feel very vivacious, any male who marries a (younger) woman will find that there is a gap even though it may seem good at first. And that gap will become apparent “said he.
