The actors came together later, on the promotional tour of the film. As it turned out, Amber and Johnny had common interests, such as their passion for the blues.
The actors began dating a few months after the end of filming. Both Depp and Heard broke up with their previous partners. In January 2014, Amber Heard and Johnny Depp officially announced their engagement. In February 2015, Heard married actor Johnny Depp, but the following May, Amber filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
Scandal with Johnny Depp
The initiative to break up in 2016 belonged to Heard. She accused Depp of domestic violence and obtained a protective order, which prohibited the newfound abuser from approaching the actress. A trial later took place, as a result of which the actress withdrew her lawsuit. Depp paid his ex-wife seven million dollars, which she promised to donate to a children’s charity.
In 2018, the young actress published an article in the Washington Post in which, without naming Depp, she accused her spouse of domestic violence. In 2022, the actor sued his ex-wife, demanding $50 million for defamation. Heard counterclaimed for $100 million. The trial lasted six weeks and looked scandalous.

The final arguments were heard on May 27. The jury then retired for sentencing.
