All of Johnny Depp's past public relationships
Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard are currently in court over a $100 million defamation case.
Depp has had multiple high-profile public relationships in the past.
Insider has compiled a list of all of Depp's past relationships.
Johnny Depp was married to Lori Anne Allison from 1983 to 1985.
Johnny Depp married Lori Anne Allison, a make-up artist from Los Angeles, in 1983. The pair were married for two years before they separated in 1985.
Depp was 20 when they married and, according to the biography "The Amazing Life of Johnny Depp" by Matt Green, Allison was the sister of the bass player in a band Depp was in at the time.
Very little information about their relationship or divorce has been reported. At the time of the wedding, Depp had yet to make his big-screen debut in Wes Craven's classic 1984 horror film, "A Nightmare on Elm Street."
Johnny Depp dated Sherilyn Fenn in the late 1980s.
Johnny Depp dated Sherilyn Fenn — the actor best known for her star role in David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" — at some point between 1986 and 1989. In 1987, Fenn also appeared in Depp's hit show "21 Jump Street" and there were even reports the pair got engaged, though that has never been confirmed.
In 2017, Fenn gave an interview to The Big Issue during which she briefly discussed her relationship with Depp.
"We went out for two-and-a-half years when we were just starting out in the business. He was very sweet. He was my first love," Fenn told the publication at the time. "As a young woman, for the first time, I had found real love. It was with someone who was walking the same path, but even if he wasn't, the love and the connection was strong enough — cooking meals, hanging out, laughing and crying. So it is more about that than the fact he is this well-known person now. I know him as a human not a movie star."
Johnny Depp was engaged to "Dirty Dancing" actor Jennifer Grey.
As Insider previously reported, Jennifer Grey wrote in her 2022 memoir "Out Of The Corner" that Johnny Depp proposed to her in 1989 after the pair had been dating for two weeks.
In a recent interview with People magazine, Grey — who is best known for her role in the 1987 classic film "Dirty Dancing" — described her relationship with Depp as a "fucking bonfire" and said the pair were often "twinning" and would wear "matching leather jackets."
"On August 12, I wrote in my journal, 'I'm in love, pretty sure for the first time in my life ... He's kind, funny, smart, moral, thoughtful, respectful,'" Grey wrote of Depp in "Out Of The Corner."
In the book, Grey continues to write that the pair's relationship didn't last as Depp's career grew. Grey wrote that Depp became more frustrated as he became more established as a Hollywood heartthrob, which didn't help their relationship.
Grey wrote that she ended the relationship with a note she left in Depp's hotel room. Their engagement lasted nine months.
Johnny Depp was famously engaged to Winona Ryder.
Johnny Depp's relationship with actor Winona Ryder is perhaps his most high-profile. The pair were in a relationship for four years from 1989 to 1993. They were also engaged for a period of time, during which Depp famously tattooed Ryder's name on his arm. "Winona Forever," the tattoo read. When the pair called off the wedding, Depp changed the tattoo to read "Wino Forever."
During Depp's high-profile libel case against the British tabloid The Sun in 2020, Ryder provided a witness statement defending Depp's character.
"I knew Johnny very well years ago. We were together as a couple for four years, and I counted him as my best friend, and as close to me as family. I count our relationship as one of the more significant relationships of my life," she said.
At the time, Depp was suing the newspaper and its owner News Group Newspapers over an article published in 2018, which labeled him a "wife beater" in reference to his marriage with Amber Heard, who divorced Depp in 2017. Depp lost the case.
"The idea that he is an incredibly violent person is the farthest thing from the Johnny I knew and loved. I cannot wrap my head around these accusations," Ryder's statement said. "He was never, never violent towards me. He was never, never abusive at all towards me. He has never been violent or abusive towards anybody I have seen. I truly and honestly only know him as a really good man — an incredibly loving, extremely caring guy who was so very protective of me and the people that he loves, and I felt so very, very safe with him."
Kate Moss and Johnny Depp were in a relationship from 1994 to 1998.
Kate Moss and Johnny Depp dated from 1994 to 1998. During that time, the pair made headlines for their famous bust-ups, including the time Depp destroyed his room at the Mark Hotel in New York City in 1994. As Insider previously reported, felony mischief charges were dropped against Depp after he paid more than $9,000 in fines. Reports at the time said that Depp filled a bathtub with bottles of champagne worth $1,000.
Moss discussed their relationship during a 2012 interview with Vanity Fair.
"There's nobody that's ever really been able to take care of me. Johnny did for a bit. I believed what he said. Like if I said, 'What do I do?' he'd tell me. And that's what I missed when I left," Moss told the magazine at the time.
"I really lost that gauge of somebody I could trust. Nightmare. Years and years of crying. Oh, the tears!"
Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis were partners for 14 years.
Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, a French actor and singer, started dating in 1998. The pair met in Paris where Depp was shooting a movie with Roman Polanski called "The Ninth Gate."
Speaking to The Daily Mail at the time about the moment he saw Paradis, Depp said: "She was wearing a dress with an exposed back and I saw that back and that neck, and then she turned around and I saw those eyes, and — boom!"
In 1999, the pair had their first child Lily-Rose Depp followed by son Jack Depp in 2002. The couple split in 2012 after 14 years together.
In 2013, Depp discussed the breakup with Rolling Stone magazine.
He said: "It wasn't easy on [Paradis]. It wasn't easy on me. It wasn't easy on the kids. It doesn't stop the fact that you care for that person, and they're the mother of your kids, and you'll always know each other, and you're always gonna be in each other's lives because of those kids. You might as well make the best of it."
During Depp's libel trial against The Sun newspaper, Paradis also provided a witness statement in defense of Depp. In the statement, Paradis said she has always "known Johnny to be a kind, attentive, generous and non-violent person and father."
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were married for 15 months.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard first met on the set of "The Rum Diary" in 2009. The two married in 2015. The pair's wedding was an intimate affair with only 20 to 25 people in attendance, People magazine reported. In 2016, as Insider previously reported, Heard filed for divorce from Depp and, four days later, obtained a temporary restraining order against him. Heard alleged that Depp had physically abused her during their relationship.
Depp denied the allegations and through his representatives said Heard was "attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse."
The two reached a settlement after Heard withdrew her request for a domestic violence restraining order. She also rescinded her spousal support request of $50,000 a month.
Depp and Heard also released a joint statement, which said: "Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain."
In 2017, their separation was finalized. Heard received $7 million from the divorce, according to People magazine.
In the years since their divorce, there have been numerous accusations of infidelity, abuse, and violence levied by both sides as well as ongoing court battles.
