Move over, Elon Musk! Meet Grimes’ rumoured new transgender girlfriend, Chelsea Manning: Barack Obama freed the LGBT activist from prison and now she’s a prominent online security specialist
- Is Elon Musk’s baby mama Grimes now dating Chelsea Manning? The news will come as a shock to those still adjusting to the former couple’s recent baby announcement
- Manning, who was given a 35 year prison sentence for leaking over 700,000 classified US military documents, is now living her best life as a cryptographer and a free woman
According to media reports, Grimes and Manning have now become “serious” and may even be living together at Grimes’ home in Texas where she is currently raising her two children with Musk.
Eagled eyed Grimes watchers will also have noticed the two interacting more frequently on Twitter in recent months, with a handful of cryptic tweets hinting at an in-person relationship.
But who exactly is Manning, and why is she so controversial?
She was forced to hide her real identity while serving in the US Army
The 34-year-old Manning said she knew she was “different” as early as the age of five, recalling how fond she was of spending time in her sister’s room back then.
“I really admired her and wore her clothes to play in, played with her dolls, played with her make-up,” she told Cosmopolitan. However, growing up and thinking that “something was wrong”, Manning said she was afraid to tell anyone because she was “terrified about what would happen if someone found out”.
