In an emotional Rolling Stone interview in 2017, Elon criticized his father and spoke about his upbringing, saying that he moved back in with his father after his parents split, which he said was “not a good idea.”
However, Errol told Rolling Stone: “I love my children and would do anything for them.”

Years later, Jana turned to Errol after her own breakup. “We were lonely, lost people,” Errol explained in an interview with The Sunday Times in 2018. “One thing led to another – you can call it God's plan or nature's plan.”
Anyway, the duo got romantic and welcomed son Elliott in 2017 and then a baby girl in 2019. As Errol put it to The Sun: “The only reason we're on earth is to reproduce. If I could have another child, I would. I see no reason not to.”
