Amid her high-profile divorce from Johnny Depp in 2016, Amber Heard made headlines when she reportedly started dating Elon Musk.
"Amber wants her independence and prefers to be friends rather than be romantically attached," an insider confirmed to Us Weekly in February 2018.
Another insider said: "Elon decided it was time to end things, and Amber agreed. They both care about each other, but the timing isn't right."
Hurd and Musk, for their part, addressed their decision months later, telling us in August 2018, "We would like to speak for ourselves. Distance has been really hard on our relationship, as we haven't seen each other much. Of course, all relationships have their ups and downs."
The Tesla CEO later revealed that he was still grappling with the breakup. “I was really in love, and it felt so bad. Well, he broke up with me more than I did,” the South African native told Rolling Stone in November 2017, noting that he Was in "severe emotional pain" since the split.
"I'm looking for a long-term relationship. I'm not looking for one-night stands. I'm looking for a serious mate or soul mate, that sort of thing. I'll never be happy without someone."
Elon Musk apparently disappointed Amber Heard by staying away from Johnny Depp's defamation lawsuit against the actress. However, he issued a very positive statement on the test of the bombings. He wished the couple the best: "I hope they both move on. At their best, they are each incredible."
