If you have ever wondered what’s going on in Amber Heard’s love life since her high profile relationship, marriage, and then divorce with renowned A-list Hollywood actor, Johnny Depp, then you are not alone. By virtue of her popularity and Depp’s successful career, there have been interests in Amber’s subsequent love life.
Notably, Amber’s sexuality has seen her date men and women alike. From Elon Musk to Bianca Butti, Sean Farris, and Valentini Lanus, Amber seems not to struggle to find love. Her most high profile relationship, however, remains her marriage to Johnny Depp.
The Johnny Depp Relationship Debacle
The star has always been described as beautiful and it’s very obvious. She has also been ranked in the top 100 Hot and Sexiest Women by FHM and Maxim magazines since 2008. For this reason, it is quite common to find people searching for her pictures on the internet.
Although an atheist, Amber believes in love. She has had successful relationships with men and women. She came out in 2010 to say she could love anyone but it depends on their personality. She dated photographer Tasya van Ree before dating fellow actor Johnny Depp. The couple first met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2011, where they played each other’s love interest and started co-habiting the next year.
Heard and Depp got married in a private civil ceremony in early February 2015 with a ceremony on Depp’s private island in the Bahamas. However, on May 23, 2016, Amber Heard filed for divorce from Johnny Depp and obtained a temporary restraining order against him, saying he had been physically abusive to her.
These allegations were met with counter-allegations from Depp and his legal team as to Heard’s motives, claiming that she had launched a smear campaign against the actor in hopes of parting with an earlier financial settlement from the divorce. The former couple ultimately issued a joint statement confirming that their divorce was due to irreconcilable differences in August of that year. She received $7 million which she promised to donate in 2018 to the American Civil Liberties Union and the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
Post-Depp, Amber Has Kept Her Love Life Pretty Active

Although the actress has insisted she never dated James, it is believed that what they had was a bit more than just friendship. According to what Depp would later disclose, he didn’t fancy Amber and James’ friendship because Amber had told him that James was a creep and a rapist.
