When did Amber Heard date Elon Musk and why did they break up?
AMBER Heard previously dated mega businessman Elon Musk for over a year. The couple's relationship was even brought up during Johnny Depp's trial which a High Court ruling that he battered ex-wife Amber 12 times. The actress, 35, and the boss of US electric car giant Tesla, 50, started dating in summer 2016 when they were spotted together in London. In August 2017, it was reported that the businessman was said to have ended their year-long romance. The pair reconciled months later but yet again called it quits just several months later. A source told the Mail On Sunday at the time: "Its all over between Amber and Elon and shes devastated. It was his decision." Elon is said to have made the decision to end things with the Justice League actress, 35, because "the timing wasn't right". A source told Page Six: Elon and Amber broke up. Elon made the decision to end things, and Amber agreed. "The timing just wasnt right, but they still care about each other.  The pair cited their conflicting schedules as what kept them apart. Musk later admitted at the time that he was heartbroken and told Rolling Stone: I was really in love, and it hurt bad. Well, she broke up with me more than I broke up with her, I think.  During the court case in July 2020, Amber denied having an affair with Elon Musk and blamed Johnny Depp's 'illogical jealousy' for tryst claims. The 34-year-old was accused of sneaking the Tesla billionaire into Depp's swanky LA penthouse late at night when the actor was away. But Heard told the High Court she was not having an affair with Musk, who she dated for around a year after her divorce. The actress instead blamed the allegations on Depp's "illogical jealousy".
