When Johnny Depp Left Amber Heard Hanging, 'Real Gentleman' Elon Musk Stepped In, Kickstarting Their Love Story

Amber Heard's connection with Elon Musk sparked on a night when Johnny Depp left her alone on the red carpet. Let's delve into the fascinating history!

Amber Heard faced accusations of an affair with Elon Musk while she was still married to Johnny Depp. However, the intriguing twist is that her association with the Tesla magnate traces back to her time with Depp. Scroll down for an intriguing flashback.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's love story commenced during the filming of "The Rum Diary" (2011), while he was still married to Vanessa Paradis. The Hollywood icon openly admitted to feeling a connection during an intimate shower scene, sealing their fate.

A Red Carpet Dilemma

In February 2015, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard tied the knot after years of dating. Little did they know that a misstep by Depp would set the stage for Heard's connection with Elon Musk.

During a defamation trial in 2022, Amber disclosed how Johnny Depp stood her up for the Met Gala 2016, a pivotal moment that would alter her romantic journey. Supposedly attending as Ralph Lauren's guests, Johnny's absence left Amber in the lurch.

Elon Musk Enters the Scene

Unaware of Johnny's no-show, Amber attended the event alone, with an empty place reserved for her husband. Surprisingly, Elon Musk was seated nearby, marking the commencement of their friendship.

Amber shared, "I didn't recognize [Elon] until we started talking, and he reminded me we had met once before. He seemed like a real gentleman. He was really nice, sat at a nearby table, and we got to speaking that night and eventually became friends."

Allegations of an Extra-Marital Affair

Despite claims by Amber and Elon that their relationship only began after her divorce from Johnny Depp, leaked pictures painted a different story.

Leaked images revealed Amber and Elon in an elevator at Depp's penthouse, supporting Depp's allegations of an extra-marital affair. While reports suggest they officially started dating around 2016, Amber made their romance public with an Instagram post in April 2017. Their relationship, however, lasted only a few months, coming to an end in August of the same year.
