Grimes is known for being eccentric and switching things in her life up. Grimes legally changed her name, for instance, and her latest endeavor sees her forming a fast but close relationship with someone new after parting ways with Tesla co-founder Elon Musk. In fact, she's dating none other than Chelsea Manning, a notorious whistleblower in the U.S., per Page Six's exclusive report. "They're getting serious," a source reportedly told Page Six. "They U-Hauled it. They've been living together in Austin."
According to Complex, this reveal is particularly interesting because it comes just one day after the launch of Grimes' Vanity Fair cover. In the issue, Grimes told the outlet that she and Musk's relationship was "fluid" and that she always gives him the "boyfriend" label. However, there is naturally time between when an interview is completed and when a magazine issue releases, so Grimes clarified in a Twitter thread that the two had actually parted ways in a serious manner since the interview.
Grimes' new partner, Manning, is best known for leaking "thousands of sensitive government documents and diplomatic cables about the American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to WikiLeaks," per The Guardian. These leaks led Manning to receiving a 35-year prison sentence in 2013, but it was ultimately "commuted" come 2017 — and she's been free since. Now, she's reportedly living happily as Grimes' new partner.
