Welcome to the forums @Josephine ray,

The heart shape in your image appears to have already been cut in half, unless you're using it as a reference image?

You could do this from scratch by following something like the below:

1. Draw out a heart shape with the quick shape tool.
2. Select the Pen tool and draw the line over the top of the heart for the cut and increase the stroke width as required
3. Edit menu > Expand stroke to create a closed curve from the line
4. Select the Move tool and highlight both layers in the layers panel
5. Use the Boolean > Subtract function along the context toolbar to subtract the line from the heart shape

How do I pull apart the heart shape or how do I make the heart dangle off the other half?

If you follow my previous instructions this should leave you with a heart shape which has been split into two separate left and right half curves, at which point you can freely transform them separately to pull them apart or rotate and position them as needed.
