Elon Musk has become one of the most talked-about personalities in recent years as a result of his success with Tesla and SpaceX, with which he wants to compete with Amazon's Jeff Bezos in space.
Along with the professional aspects of his life, millions of followers are curious about the more personal side, and a recent development in that realm has piqued the public's interest.
According to reports, the billionaire has discovered a new love. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is now dating Australian actress Natasha Bassett.
Musk was spotted with the famed actress as he disembarked from his private jet. Bassett is presently filming an Elvis Presley biopic alongside Tom Hanks. The two was photographed shortly after their arrival in Los Angeles.
A person "close" to Musk said the entrepreneur and Bassett have been dating for a couple of months and are in a monogamous relationship.
"They are really smitten with one another and have been spending a lot of time together," a source told Hollywood Life.
However, some Musk followers and detractors were not expecting such news given that he welcomed his first child with singer Grimes less than two years ago, despite the fact that he separated from her last September.
Because his ex-partner and son currently reside in Los Angeles, many have thought that was the reason for their relocation.
Bassett, who is 23 years younger than Musk, is one of Australia's most well-known actresses, having gained international attention for her portrayal of Britney Spears in a 2017 autobiographical film.
Additionally, she has appeared in a number of other films, including Caesar, which stars George Clooney and Scarlett Johansson. Next summer, the aforementioned film on the successful American musician will be released.
According to a Daily Mail article, the young model fell for the 50-year-old's "intellect" and "not his bank account."
Musk's net worth is currently believed to be around $233 billion, making him the world's richest person.
Prior to dating Grimes, Musk was involved in a high-profile romance with actress Amber Heard; following their split, Musk opened out to Rolling Stone about his romantic life, telling the publication that he prefers long-term relationships.
Musk has been married thrice, twice to actress Talulah Riley. He shares five sons with his first wife, Justine Musk.
A look at the rich older men who date younger women shows that Musk isn't the only one. Neither Leonardo DiCaprio nor Jake Gyllenhaal have ever dated a woman older than 25, and Taylor Swift was just 19 years old when they first started dating.
