Amber Heard & Elon Musk Release Joint Statement on Their Split

Amber Heard and Elon Musk are speaking out to address the rumors about their relationship and subsequent breakup earlier this month.

The 31-year-old actress and the 46-year-old billionaire tech mogul have both released separate statements about the split and now they are speaking out together.

“Having read recent articles about our relationship, we would like to speak for ourselves. The distance has been really tough on our relationship, because we haven’t been able to see each other much. All relationships have their ups and downs, of course,” Amber and Elon said in a statement to People.

“People occasionally send out speculation, which has no basis in fact, without our knowledge, believing that that they have our best interests in mind. Sometimes, other agendas are at work. It can get a little weird… However, we would like to state directly that we have the utmost respect for one another, and it would be troubling if anyone had the impression that we thought otherwise,” they continued.

“As a closing note, it is worth bearing in mind that events are always amplified and dramatized in a high profile relationship, whether the people involved like it or not (and we definitely don’t). The reality is that this is just a normal relationship with a giant magnifying glass applied,” the statement concluded.
