Musk and Riley met at a bar in London and tied the knot in 2010.
They parted ways two years later, remarried in 2013, and filed for divorce again in 2016.
“Obviously, I understand it looks strange.
But that logic made sense at the time,” Riley confessed toThe Independent.
Musk’s second ex-wife is an English actress and novelist.
Her life story is just as interesting as her relationship with the Tesla billionaire.
Although she loved acting, it was more of a hobby.
The young star moved to London to follow her dreams.
Meanwhile, she began studying natural sciences at the Open University.
This is when she met Elon Musk, who she got engaged to 10 days after their first date.
“I did think he was a little bit insane that first night.
In a wonderful way,” she added.
Musk was 15 years older than Riley, but their age gap didn’t seem to matter.
However, they got engaged 10 days after their first date and the rest is history.
Consequently, she knew nothing about living with a partner or raising kids.
She added, “Essentially, our home life was work.
We were focused on the companies and the children.”
“It makes me feel domestic and happy,” she said in her interview with This is London.
The actress was head over heels for her husband and enjoyed pampering him.
Sadly, their romance didn’t last long.
In 2012, Elon Musk toldForbesthat he fell out of love.
“I still love her, but I’m not in love with her.
And I can’t really give her what she wants.”
The two filed for divorce and remarried a year later, but parted ways again in 2016.
Riley and Musk remained friends and were still in touch when he acquired Twitter.
Meanwhile, they rebuilt their lives separately.
The “Pistol” star and her boyfriend announced their engagement in 2023 after dating for two years.
