Featuring everything from secret babies to an alleged hostage situation with a famous rapper, the love story between billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk and futuristic musician Grimes (aka ‘c’) is not your cookie cutter romance.

Our jaws first dropped when we saw the pair on the Met Gala red carpet, and those jaws remained firmly on the floor as they went on to have babies with unpronounceable names and to disagree with each other in very public forums.

But when your meet-cute is the result of a shared affinity for jokes about artificial intelligence and 18th century art movements, it’s to be expected that your relationship might be a little... unusual.

How did the world’s richest man fall for one of pop music’s more eccentric artists? Why are they always fighting each other on Twitter? And how on earth do you pronounce their son’s name?
