Grimes is back on Instagram, and this time, she's without a baby bump. The 33-year-old Canadian-born singer sent her fans into a frenzy when she debuted a large belly earlier this week, leaving everyone to believe she was pregnant with baby #2 despite her split from Elon Musk.
She made her triumphant return to the social media platform on Thursday, and there was no sign of stomach bulge. Covering her curves in a chunky beige sweater, Musk's baby mama held the camera up for a mirror selfie showing her wearing a mask and goggle-like sunglasses.
Grimes Debuts Baby Bump 3 Months After Split From Billionaire Elon Musk, Speculation Runs Rampant
Hinting that she was tired as a dog, Grimes — whose real name Claire Elise Bouch — told her 2.2 million Instagram followers that her battery needed recharging. "Feeling the plague doc energy today," she wrote.
The psychedelic singer's interesting fashion choices definitely grabbed attention, but most of her followers were left wondering what happened to her mysterious baby bump.
Grimes was clearly rocking a bump when she shared an animated photo of herself earlier this week. Rumors began swirling that she might be expecting her second child.
The timing is interesting, considering she split from Elon just three months ago but that didn't stop her fans from speculating. "Omg preggers again?" one person asked. "The queen is pregnant," commented another.
The singer-songwriter and tech tycoon ended their relationship in September after three years of dating, but their breakup was far from normal. Grimes revealed they still lived together despite ending their romance.
Elon was the first to share the breakup news.
"We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms," he told Page Six at the time. "It's mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA. She's staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room."
