Writing under a picture Amber posted, he shared: 'Btw, just to clear up some of the press storm this weekend, although Amber and I did break up, we are still friends, remain close and love one another.'

He continued: 'Long distance relationship when both partners have intense work obligations are always difficult, but who knows what the future holds.'

The snap, which saw Amber emulate The Little Mermaid by running a fork through her hair in place of a comb, also warranted a 'V cute' comment from the billionaire.

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.'

Elon, worth a reported £12 billion, 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 £100 million superhero movie Aquaman and was said to have put his private jet at her disposal.

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

As their relationship struck up, Amber was still recovering from what she called a ‘toxic’ split with Johnny Depp.

Her lawyers accused the actor of hitting her and subjecting her to repeated abuse throughout their 15-month marriage, claims he denied.

Amber received £5.3 million from the divorce which she vowed to give to charity.

A spokesman for Elon, who has five sons from his first marriage to Canadian writer Justine Musk, declined to comment.
