Maye Haldeman Musk

Errol Musk’s first wife Maye Musk is a fashion model who has worked for massive brands, including Dolce & Gabbana during Milan Fashion Week.

She has also featured on the covers of Time magazine and Vogue.

She was born in Canada but her family moved to South Africa shortly afterwards.

Then known as Maye Haldeman, she was a finalist in the 1969 Miss South Africa beauty contest.

Maye married Errol Musk in 1970, before divorcing him almost a decade later in 1979.

During their marriage, Maye and Errol had three children:

In 2018, at the age of 69, Maye became the oldest Covergirl spokesperson ever.

She told Elle at the time: “I definitely think the beauty industry is wising up.

“We are seeing a lot more representation and different people.

“I never thought I’d be a Covergirl at almost 70.”

Maye also posed for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2024, two years after gracing the magazine’s cover.

Heide Bezuidenhout

Following his divorce from Maye, Errol married Heide Bezuidenhout.

When they wed, she was a young widow who already had two children from a previous marriage.

This union lasted for 18 years between 1996 and 2004 and they share two daughters together:

During the marriage, Errol helped raise Heide’s children from her previous relationship, including her daughter Jana Bezuidenhout, who was four years old at the time of their wedding.

After Errol’s divorce from Heide, his relationship with his former stepdaughter Jana came to light.

Jana Bezuidenhout

In 2017, it was revealed that Jana was pregnant with Errol’s child, who was born later the same year when Jana was 30 and he was 72.

Their first child is named Elliot Rush, nicknamed “Rushi”.

In 2019, Errol announced that he’d had a second child with Jana — a daughter whose name has not been reported.

Shedding light on how he informed his older children about Rushi’s arrival, Errol told The Sun: “I notified all my children.

“I said take it or leave it. And my youngest son, Kimbal, his initial reaction was, ‘It happens’. 

“Elon’s was, ‘Okay, I got it, but l’m real busy right now. I’ll speak to you in due course’.

“My three daughters all said ‘Jeez’, because Jana’s their half sister. Tosca, Rose and Allie, Alexandra. They were like, ‘How could Jana do this?’

“And they still don’t like it. They still feel a bit creepy about it, because she’s their sister. Their half-sister.

“They were more concerned [than the boys].”

When Errol revealed the news, he also explained that while they still had “a lot of affection for each other”, he was no longer in a relationship with Jana.

He said: “But the thing is it’s not practical. She’s 35 next birthday. So she’s getting on. So eventually if I’m still around she might wind up back with me. It’s difficult.

“I mean, I would much rather have them here. But Jana came and spent a few days here about six months ago. And the kids were starting to get on my nerves.

“Then I miss them as soon as they have gone.”

On the subject of possibly having more children, Errol said: “The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce.

“If I could have another child I would. I can’t see any reason not to.

“If I had thought about it then Elon or Kimbal wouldn’t exist.”
