At the time, Depp released a statement expressing that the jury had given him his life back.
Initially, this pairing appeared to be the beginning of a promising relationship.
After meeting on the set of The Rum Diary in 2011, the actor began dating Texan actress and model Amber Heard, soon after ending his long-term relationship with Vanessa Paradis.
They announced their engagement in 2014…
And, not ones to waste any time, they quickly got married just one year later, tying the knot in February 2015.
However, it was around this time that things began to go awry.
Their honeymoon phase was quite brief, as just months after their marriage, Depp reportedly sustained a hand injury from “smashing bottles and windows” during a heated argument with his wife.
Over the following year, numerous reports of abuse between the couple continued to emerge…
So it was no surprise when Heard filed for divorce in March 2016, just fifteen months after the couple had first exchanged their “I do”s.
