Johnny Depp's strange relationship exposed after messy divorce from Amber Heard

Johnny Depp is reportedly finding comfort in a strange companion as he refrains from dating after his messy divorce from Amber Heard.

For those unaware, Depp and Heard, who first met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2009, tied the knot in 2015 and annulled their marriage in 2016, filing for divorce which was finalized in 2022.

The couple was also embroiled in a defamation trial after Depp sued Heard for claiming to be a domestic abuse victim over her op-ed article published in Washington post. The defamation trial held in Fairfax County, Virginia, found the Aquaman actress liable, while the Pirates of the Caribbean actor was awarded $10 million (of the $50 million claim) in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.

Radar Online reported that Depp now wants to spend the rest of his life with a loyal partner rather than wasting his time in short-term relationships.

Also, the 62-year-old American actor and musician “has got a stronger relationship with his guitar than he does with any woman right now – and he's fine with that.”

"At the moment, he's not desperate to shack up. He's being patient and biding his time,” the insider told the outlet.

Considering the fact that Depp is a “serial monogamist,” if he ever starts a new relationship, “it's going to be for the long haul," despite being called a ladies’ man.

The source explained, "He's looking for somebody to spend his golden years with, and he won't rush that process. He hasn't had a lot of first dates in his life! He's just too guarded and introverted to go on a blind date or let himself get 'set up.' That means his next partner is likely to be somebody he's already hung out with a few times who gets his 'vibe.'"

"Johnny knows a lot of this is going to come down to luck, and he deserves happiness as much as anybody does,” the insider concluded.
