Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

Celebrity couple

About

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are a celebrity couple known for their tumultuous relationship. They met in 2009 while filming "The Rum Diary" and began dating in early 2012 after Depp split from his long-time partner, Vanessa Paradis. The couple married in February 2015, but their marriage was short-lived. In May 2016, Heard filed for divorce, alleging physical abuse by Depp, which he denied. Their divorce was finalized in January 2017, with Heard receiving $7 million. The couple's relationship was marked by legal battles. Depp sued Heard for defamation over an op-ed she wrote in 2018, claiming it damaged his career. In 2022, a jury ruled in Depp's favor, awarding him $10 million in damages. Heard was awarded $2 million in a counterclaim. Additionally, Depp lost a libel case against "The Sun" in the UK, where the court found that most of Heard's abuse allegations were true. Despite their legal disputes, both actors have maintained their careers in Hollywood.
