Who is Vivian’s mother?
Musk’s ex-wife Justine Wilson has revealed she’s “proud” of Vivian’s name change.
The Canadian-born fantasy author, 49, has revealed a sweet conversation she had with one of the couple’s twins after it was revealed her transgender daughter had decided to legally change her name to sever all ties with her billionaire father.
Wilson, the mother of five of the seven children Musk fathered, shared the exchange with one of her twins on Twitter on Monday: “‘I had a weird childhood,’ my 18-year-old said to me,” Wilson tweeted after news of Vivian’s gender and name change petition began circulating the internet. She also quoted the child as saying, “I can’t believe I seem normal the way I am.”
Though Wilson didn’t specify which twin the conversation was with, the post followed Monday’s breaking news that Vivian had decided to publicly distance herself from the Tesla CEO. The proud mom also said she told the twin, “I’m very proud of you,” to which the child replied, “I’m proud of myself!”
