Johnny Depp’s ex-wife Amber is dumped by billionair­e boyfriend

- From Caroline Graham

HER marriage to Pirates Of The Caribbean star Johnny Depp infamously imploded when she accused him of beating her up.

And it appears actress Amber Heard has been unlucky in love yet again, after being dumped by her billionair­e boyfriend.

Heard, 31, is ‘devastated’ after tech tycoon Elon Musk ended their year-long romance. Last night a source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘It’s all over between Amber and Elon and she’s devastated. It was his decision.

‘He ended it a week ago. 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.’

Musk, 46, worth a reported $16bn, made his first fortune as co-founder of online service PayPal. The creator of electric car giant Tesla and private space company SpaceX, he was spotted with Heard in Australia in April where she is filming the $160m superhero movie, Aquaman, and was said to have put his private jet at her disposal.

Their romance began shortly after South African-born Musk divorced British actress Talulah Riley for a second time last year.

Heard was still recovering from what she called a ‘toxic’ split with Depp. Her lawyers accused the actor of hitting her and subjecting her to repeated abuse during their 15-month marriage, claims he denied.

Heard received $7m from the divorce which she vowed to give to charity.

A spokesman for Musk, who has five sons from his first marriage to writer Justine Musk, said: ‘We don’t have any comment on this story.’
