Congratulations are in order for Grimes and Elon Musk!

The 32-year-old musical artist, whose real name is Claire Boucher, and her SpaceX and Tesla mastermind boyfriend welcomed their first child together on Monday, Musk tweeted.

Musk, 48, shared a photo of himself holding the newborn in the hospital early Tuesday morning. He first broke the news on Twitter Monday, when a user asked him for updates on the baby.

"A few hours away!" Musk wrote. About four hours later, he added, "Mom & baby all good."

And later, in response to another Twitter question, he replied simply, "Boy." When another user inquired about the baby's name, Musk replied "X Æ A-12 Musk."

The backstory on the baby's name?

Grimes tweeted a full breakdown late Tuesday:

"•X, the unknown variable

•Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence)

•A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent

+ (A=Archangel, my favorite song) (metal rat)"
