It’s great to know that even Elon Musk takes a break now and again. In June 2022, he was spotted with his latest girlfriend, Natasha Basset, in St. Tropez, France.
The couple was seen enjoying a casual lunch at the Chevel Blanc Hotel, sipping rosé wine and sharing French fries al fresco—a meal we can all appreciate.

Elon Musk has reportedly been dating the Australian actress Natasha Bassett for some time now, though the exact timeline seems to vary depending on who you ask.
According to an article in Hollywood Life back in February, their source revealed that Natasha and Elon “have only been dating for a couple of months, but they are already in a monogamous relationship.
They are very much into each other and have been spending a tremendous amount of time together.”

The Australian actress was born in Sydney, Australia, on October 21, 1992. That makes her 21 years younger than her boyfriend, Elon Musk, born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa.
“There’s nothing that compares here. It’s a beautiful part of the world. I miss it all the time,” she told Vogue Australia about growing up in New South Wales, “not to mention the Bondi breakfasts.”

In March 2022, his ex-girlfriend Grimes confirmed that their relationship ended in September 2021, two months before the couple welcomed their second child via surrogate in December 2021.
Elon and Grimes are known for giving their children unusual names, so it’s no surprise that their daughter’s name is Exa Dark Sideræl. At least this time, it’s easier to pronounce than their son’s name, X Æ A-12.
Natasha Bassett and Maye Musk: A Growing Bond Between Mother and Girlfriend
But back to the present, the couple had busy schedules while in France. Natasha attended the premiere of her latest movie, Elvis, at the Cannes Film Festival.
And if there were any doubt as to the seriousness of their relationship, according to the Evening Standard, Elon’s mother was her plus one – “Although the two women did not walk the red carpet together and were careful not to be seen in the same shot at the event, it was later confirmed that Bassett brought her boyfriend’s mum as her date.”

A Hollywood Life source added, “Elon and Natasha are still going strong and over time Natasha has developed a solid bond with his mother Maye. Maye is the most important person in Elon’s world and the fact that she adores Natasha means so much to him.”
When she’s not spending time with Elon, Natasha attends glamorous events and makes waves in the entertainment world.
From Cannes to St. Tropez: Natasha Bassett’s Glamorous Premieres and High-Profile Weddings

Although this is undoubtedly her biggest movie, you may recognize her from her previous role as Britney Spears in Britney Ever After in 2017.
“I have so much respect and admiration for Britney and what attracted me to doing this movie is that it’s truly a feminist story at its core,” Bassett told Us Weekly about her role in the biographical drama television film that was a critical and commercial failure.
“And as a feminist myself, I was inspired to tell the story of a woman’s journey. She was faced with so many challenges, but she came out at the end so strong and on top.”

Natasha looked incredible for the premiere of Elvis wearing an Antonio Grimaldi pink Fuschia gown from his Spring 2022 Couture Collection.

Not everyone can pull off this bold and vibrant pink, but Natasha managed effortlessly. With its strapless fitted bodice of pink satin, this is truly a gown for movie stars, and we loved the cut-out detail.
The fitted bodice gave off mermaid vibes as it flared into a sea of pink net with a trail reminiscent of movie stars from a bygone era.

She accessorized with Christian Louboutin shoes, which she spent most of the time hiding under that trail. With such a statement dress, choosing the right jewelry can be tricky, but Natasha made the perfect choice, opting for a Chopard necklace.
