Depp and Heard met in 2009 while filming The Rum Diary, though their relationship is believed to have began late 2011 or early 2012.
They got engaged in January 2014, before tying the knot just over a year later in February 2015.
Their marriage didn’t last long, however, as Depp and Heard separated in 2016 – though that certainly wasn’t the end of the matter.
A long-winded court case came about after Heard claimed she was a victim of domestic abuse in an op-ed piece for the Washington Post in 2018.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star wasn’t explicitly named in the piece. However, Depp brought a defamation case against Heard in 2019, alleging that his ex-wife had claimed that he’d ‘perpetrated domestic violence against her’, calling it ‘categorically and demonstrably false’ (via The Independent).
