Elon Musk was once in a relationship with actress Amber Heard. This became one of the highlights in the trial between Heard and her ex-husband, Johnny Depp. Although brief, the relationship seems to have left a deep impression on Elon.
On various occasions, the Tesla and SpaceX skipper discussed the former. It is known, they became close in 2016 and started dating in 2017. Had broken up, they returned to a brief relationship and finally separated completely in early 2018.
In a joint statement, they cited long-distance relationships as the cause of their separation. "The problem of distance is very heavy in our relationship, because we don't get to see each other much," they said at the time.
"Btw, to explain some media coverage, even though Amber and I separated, we are still friends, remain close and love each other," Elon said in an interview.
Elon Musk added that they broke up mainly because of their busy schedules. "Long distance relationships when both people have big work obligations are always difficult, but who knows the future," he added.
Well, in an interview with the Rolling Stones, Elon Musk admitted that he was very sad to break up with Amber. "I just broke up with my boyfriend. I really love it and it hurts so much. Well, I think he wanted to break up more than I did," she said.
As quoted by us from Newseek, that time coincided with the launch of the Tesla Model 3 car. Elon Musk stated that it was a big struggle for him to stay strong and attend the event.
"I've been in a lot of emotional pain the past few weeks. Serious. It took all the willpower to be able to come to a Model 3 event and not be seen as the most depressed person," she said.
"Most days, I feel out of sorts. And then I have to get up, drink some Red Bulls, hang out with positive people and then I tell myself that a lot of people depend on me. Allright, let's do it," added Elon Musk.
On the other hand, Elon Musk stated that he was always thirsty for love and a partner. "If I'm not in love, not with a long-term lover, I can't be happy. I can never be happy without having someone. Sleeping alone kills me," she said.
Amber Heard herself did not say much about their breakup at that time. But he insists he is still close friends with Elon.
"Even though you have separated, Elon Musk and I care deeply for each other and remain close. Thank you for your continued support, respect and privacy in this difficult time," said Amber.
