Amber Heard is proving she’s not sitting at home crying after her romance with billionaire inventor Elon Musk came to an end.

The 31-year-old American actress and the 46-year-old South African had been dating for one year.

However it is believed the love fizzled out between the pair following a trip to Australia.

But Amber is putting on a brave face amid the speculation surrounding the split - and partying away with friends.

On Monday the film beauty uploaded a raucous photograph to Instagram showing herself throwing shapes with a group of friends.

She captioned the upbeat moment: “BBQ dance party, whaaaat….”.

A day earlier, she had shared an image of herself with friends throwing petals in the air - with the caption: “La vie en rose(petals).”

Explaining the reason behind the split of Amber and Elon - who owns the Tesla car company and is currently working to get man on Mars - a source said the pair became victims of their own success.

“The timing wasn’t good for them,” the source told US Weekly.

“He’s super busy and works all the time. Amber is filming [Aquaman] in Australia until October. She’s in no position to settle with him. She feels her career is just starting,” they said.

Amber had previously been married to fellow Hollywood star Johnny Depp, 54.

But they divorced earlier this year (after separating in May) amid accusations of physical and mental abuse by Johnny on his younger wife.
