The couple's relationship became public in March 2024, with Grimes sharing a post on Instagram describing their bond as "Beauty and the Beast." Their artistic collaboration began prior to this, with their first significant joint track, "Welcome to the Opera," released in July 2023. They performed the song together at the Tomorrowland festival later that month.
Anyma's solo career has also seen significant success. His track "Hypnotized," featuring Ellie Goulding, premiered at The Sphere in Las Vegas in December 2024 and was officially released on January 10, 2025. The song, accompanied by visuals from artist Tobias Gremmler, reached number one on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, marking a major achievement for Milleri.
Grimes, known for her innovative electronic music, has a discography that includes critically acclaimed albums such as "Visions" (2012) and "Art Angels" (2015). Her work is recognized for its unique blend of electronic textures, pop sensibilities, and conceptual depth. Anyma, a key figure in melodic techno, is also known as one half of the duo Tale of Us and co-founder of Afterlife Records. His solo project focuses on creating immersive audiovisual experiences.
The amicable decision by Grimes and Anyma to part ways romantically signifies an evolution in their relationship, with their mutual respect ensuring their collaborative spirit will continue to flourish in future musical projects.
