Amber Heard dated Elon Musk after her split from Johnny Depp, but their relationship didn’t work out.
Amber Heard was spotted out and about with the SpaceX CEO shortly after her high profile split from Johnny Depp. However, their relationship didn’t last long.
Here’s what happened when the Aquaman star was dating Elon Musk.
Amber Heard and Elon Musk dating history
Amber Heard made her relationship with Elon Musk official in a post on Instagram in April 2017. She shared a snap of them sitting beside each other with her arms on his shoulder.
Heard is looking straight at the camera. Meanwhile, Musk is staring in a different direction. Many concluded that they were dating because he had a kiss mark on his cheek.
The London Fields star kept the caption short by only writing “cheeky.”

However, according to reports, they had been dating since 2016 after she filed for divorce from Johnny Depp.
Elon Musk and Heard split after a few months
In August of the same year, Heard and Musk decided to part ways. There were various reports on why the two broke up.
A source told Us Weekly that they decided to move on from each other because the timing wasn’t right. Both were busy and had no time for each other.
Musk was super busy with his business. Meanwhile, Heard was filming Aquaman and couldn’t settle with him because she felt that her career was just starting.
However, another insider told Daily Mail that Musk ended their romance because of Heard’s attitude.
“He’d heard certain things about her behaviour that didn’t sit well with him. Amber can be very manipulative and selfish. Elon’s back in LA while she’s licking her wounds in Australia,” the source said.
The exes remain friends after their split
Amber Heard and Elon Musk remain friends even after their split. In fact, he commented in one posts of Heard combing her hair with a fork like Ariel from The Little Mermaid. It was a reference to her character Mera in Aquaman.

“V cute,” Musk wrote.
In a past interview, Musk confirmed that they were still friends. In fact, they remained close and still loved each other. He also mentioned that long-distance and intense work obligations were always difficult.
Heard and Musk controversies
Johnny Depp alleged that Heard cheated on him with Musk. The Pirates of the Caribbean star claimed that they were dating when Heard was still married to him.
According to Depp’s lawsuit, Musk visited Heard at his penthouse while he was away filming. It happened just one month after they got married in 2015.
Meanwhile, there were rumors that Heard hurt Musk physically. He was photographed with a black eye when they were still together.
In the snap, Heard and Musk were holding hands. However, a source who knew the billionaire claimed that their sighting was just an attempt to keep up appearances. He added that Musk is not confrontational and would avoid drama at all costs.
Coincidence?🤔🤔🤔 that’s interesting!
