After a well-publicized divorce from Johnny Depp last year amid shocking allegations.
But it looks as though Amber Heard is starting 2017 with a new lease of
life, after it was reported she is besotted with new rumoured flame Elon
Musk.
The American actress, 30, was first linked to the 34-year-old
billionaire businessman last summer, after he was said to have pursued
her for ‘years’.
A source told The Mirror:
‘Amber is over the moon about her divorce but she is even happier about
being able to go public with Elon.She was telling friends over
Christmas how smitten she is with Elon.
‘They are already planning a
lot of adventures together and she’s relieved she can move on with her
life. It’s an exciting new chapter for both of them.’
Elon, who is reportedly worth £9.2billion, was spotted in the company
of Amber Heard multiple times in August amid reports the tech
billionaire has had an interest in the newly divorced actress for years.
The Hollywood Reporter spoke with a source who claims that Musk ‘became
infatuated’ with Heard after the two appeared in the 2013 film Machete
Kills.
The duo did not have any scenes together or get a chance to meet on set,
so Musk began to email director Robert Rodriguez repeatedly in hopes
that he could set up a meeting between himself and the actress – despite
the fact that she was with Johnny Depp at the time.
If there is a party or event with Amber, I’d be interested in meeting
her just out of curiosity,’ Musk wrote in one email to Rodriguez.
‘Allegedly, she is a fan of George Orwell and Ayn Rand … most unusual.’
A dinner was then reportedly set up between the two, but Heard did not
show up for her scheduled sit-down with the business magante.
That did not deter Musk however, who again emailed Rodriguez, writing:
‘Can you send her a note saying I would like to get together for lunch in LA?’
He then clarified what he was looking for, telling Rodriguez:
‘Am not angling for a date. I know she’s in a long-term relationship,
but … Amber just seems like an interesting person to meet.’
Musk meanwhile is in the process of divorcing his wife Talulah Riley – again after divorcing in 2012 and re-marrying in 2013.
He announced on Twitter that it had been an ‘amazing’ few years and that
he would always love her, paying out $4.2million in a settlement.
