Errol Musk, Elon Musk father, surprised the world by admitting to having a “secret” second child with his 35-year-old stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout. Errol Musk is not married to his stepdaughter. Mr Musk’s father revealed the news in an interview with The Sun, saying he welcomed the baby girl in 2019.

Errol Musk said “I haven’t checked her DNA. But she looks just like my other daughters. She looks like Rose and Tosca mixed up,” Errol told The Sun yesterday of his new daughter with Jana. “She looks exactly like Rushi [Errol and Jana’s son] and she behaves like him. So it’s pretty obvious you know.”

“She wasn’t planned. But I mean, we were living together. She [Jana] stayed here for about 18 months after Rushi was born,” he added. As for how his other children feel about his relationship with Jana, he admitted they were “shocked” to find out. “They still don’t like it. They still feel a bit creepy about it, because she’s their sister. Their half-sister.”

Errol went on to describe the difficulty of having a romance with an age difference, and disclosed that he and Jana are no longer living together but “have a lot of affection for one other.” He also mentioned how difficult it was to have his two youngest children at home.

“But I realized she’s two generations behind whereas her mother was one generation behind when I married her,” he said. “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.”

Jana was only 4 years old when Errol Musk married her widow mother Heide Bezuidenhout

Jana is the daughter of Heide Bezuidenhout and her husband, who  killed in a car accident around 1992. Heide had three children before meeting Errol: Jana, Jock Jr., and Harry. In 1992, she married Errol Musk, who had three children from a previous marriage.

Heide and Errol had two children, Asha and Alexandra, who were reared in a blended household with Heide and Errol’s children, including Elon Musk, 51. After 18 years together, the couple divorced, and their relationship became difficult, with Heide accusing him of bringing “shame on the family.”
