Elon’s
father
is
an
engineer
and
like
Elon,
was
born
in
South
Africa.
Though
Errol
said
in
a
2015
Forbes
interview
that
he
used
to
often
take
his
kids
on
trips
overseas—“Their
mother
and
I
split
up
when
they
were
quite
young
and
the
kids
stayed
with
me.
I
took
them
all
over
the
world.”—his
relationship
with
Elon
isn’t
picture
perfect.
In
an
emotional
2017
Rolling
Stone
interview,
Elon
criticized
his
father
and
talked
about
his
upbringing,
saying
that
after
his
parents
split,
he
moved
in
with his
dad,
which,
he
said, “was
not
a
good
idea.”
However,
Errol
told Rolling
Stone, “I
love
my
children
and
would
readily
do
whatever
for
them.”
Following
his
divorce
from
Maye,
Errol
married
Heide,
whose
daughter Jana
Bezuidenhout
was
4
years
old
at
the
time.
Errol
and
Heide
went
on
to
have two
daughters
together
before they,
too,
broke
up.
Years
later,
Jana
reached
out
to
Errol
following
a
breakup
of
her
own. “We
were
lonely,
lost
people,”
Errol
explained in
a
2018
interview
with
The
Sunday
Times. “One
thing
led
to
another—you
can
call
it
God’s
plan
or
nature’s
plan.”
Either
way,
the
duo
became
romantic
and
welcomed
son
Elliott
in
2017
and
then
a
baby
girl
in
2019.
As
Errol
put
it
to
The
Sun, “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.”
