The actress announced her relationship with the tech millionaire on Instagram Tuesday.
The actress responded to her Instagram remark with, “Put a fork in it,” announcing her breakup with the tech entrepreneur.
“Being in the public eye means having to explain yourself to so many people, so much of the time,” Heard wrote Tuesday. Here, I’d prefer be quiet. I adore Elon and will remain close after we break up. We appreciate your support, respect, and privacy in these difficult times.”
Musk disclosed the divorce in Heard’s Instagram remark, writing, “V cute❤️.” He remarked, “Although Amber and I did break up, we are still friends, remain close and love one another.”
Adding, “Long-distance relationships, when both partners have intense work obligations are always difficult, but who knows what the future holds
Monday, a source informed PEOPLE the two “are no longer dating.”
“They had fun for a few months but are now busy with work. The insider said Musk created the barrier, preventing communication.
“Elon works 24/7. He adores life. He can’t be in a relationship and ended it.”
Heard’s acrimonious divorce from Johnny Depp was completed in January, while Musk filed for divorce from Westworld actress Talulah Riley in January 2015. While seen together multiple times last year, relationship speculations emerged.
The duo smiled in Los Angeles in June, so the split is shocking. Heard and Musk filmed Aquaman in Australia a month before.
Before they began dating after Heard’s divorce, Musk liked him in Robert Rodriguez’s 2013 Machete Kills.
A source told PEOPLE, “When the time was right and they were both single last year, he started pursuing her romantically.” “She played hard to get, which intrigued him.”
