Tesla founder Elon Musk confirmed his split from actor Amber Heard, and said the two are still friends.

Amber Heard is currently shooting Aquaman in Australia. She was previously married to Johnny Depp.

Heard, 31, and the 46-year-old tech mogul have called it quits after a little more than a year of dating. But Musk says there is no bad blood between the stars -- and he even hinted at a possible reunion, reports people.com.

“Although Amber and I did break up, we are still friends, remain close and love one another,” Musk commented on one of Heard’s Instagram posts on Monday.

“Long distance relationships, when both partners have intense work obligations are always difficult, but who knows what the future holds,” he added.

Being in the public eye means having to explain yourself to so many people, so much of the time. In this case, I'd like to remain more quiet. Although we have broken up, Elon and I care deeply for one another and remain close. Thank you for the continued support, respect, and privacy during these difficult, very human times.
