After years of speculation, Cara Delevingne is finally setting the record straight about her relationship with Amber Heard. The model and actress confirmed that she and Heard were romantically involved following the actress’ split from Johnny Depp, shedding new light on a rumor that has circulated in Hollywood for nearly a decade.
Delevingne made the revelation during a recent appearance on “The Louis Theroux Podcast,” where she discussed her connection to Heard and addressed long-standing reports that their relationship played a role in Depp’s jealousy.
Rumors about Heard and Delevingne first surfaced in 2016 after the “Aquaman” actress finalized her divorce settlement with Depp and was photographed spending time with the supermodel in London. Now, Delevingne has confirmed there was truth behind the speculation.
“We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose,” Delevingne said during the interview.
The actress later clarified there was no uncertainty about what happened between them. “Later, after they divorced, it had, I suppose… No, I don’t suppose. I know. Yeah,” she said.
Their Connection Actually Began Years Earlier
According to Delevingne, her history with Heard dates back to 2013, when both women appeared in the film “London Fields” alongside Depp.
The movie, which starred Billy Bob Thornton, became notorious for behind-the-scenes legal battles between its director and producers. But Delevingne suggested there was also personal drama unfolding among some of the cast members.
Host Louis Theroux referenced reports that Depp had become upset over the possibility that Heard and Delevingne were involved romantically. “He was driven crazy by the idea that Amber might be sleeping with you,” Theroux said.
Delevingne acknowledged Depp’s jealousy but insisted nothing romantic was happening between her and Heard at that time. “Nothing was happening at that point,” she recalled.
She also claimed Depp “was pretty driven crazy by jealousy” during the filming of London Fields, which took place years before the couple eventually married.
Amber Heard Was Reportedly Seeing Other People As Well
While discussing her relationship with Heard, Delevingne suggested she wasn’t the only person romantically involved with the actress after her divorce. According to Delevingne, Heard “was also entangled with other people.”
When Theroux suggested one of those people was Elon Musk, Delevingne responded, “There you go.”
Heard and Musk were romantically linked after her divorce from Depp, with the billionaire and the actress maintaining an on-again, off-again relationship for several years.
Depp And Heard’s Legal Battle Became One Of Hollywood’s Biggest Trials
The revelations come years after Depp and Heard’s highly publicized legal fight dominated headlines around the world. In 2019, Depp filed a defamation lawsuit against Heard over a Washington Post op-ed in which she described herself as a survivor of domestic abuse. Although Heard never mentioned Depp by name, the actor argued the article damaged his reputation and career.
The 2022 trial became one of the most closely watched celebrity court cases in recent history, generating weeks of testimony, viral moments, and intense public scrutiny. Several high-profile figures, including Kate Moss and Ellen Barkin, testified during the proceedings.
Ultimately, the jury sided largely with Depp and awarded him millions in damages, though the final amount was later reduced.
Johnny Depp Said The Verdict Gave Him His Life Back
Following the verdict, Depp released an emotional statement reflecting on the impact the allegations had on his personal and professional life.
“Six years ago, my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also, the lives of the people, who for many, many years have supported and believed in me were forever changed. All in the blink of an eye,” he said.
Depp also criticized what he described as an overwhelming wave of accusations and media coverage. “It had already traveled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career,” he said. “And six years later, the jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled.”
He further claimed the media circulated “false, very serious and criminal allegations” against him, creating what he called an “endless barrage of hateful content.”
Amber Heard Has Since Built A New Life Away From Hollywood
In the years since the trial, Heard has largely stepped away from the spotlight and relocated to Madrid, Spain. The actress is now raising her three children: daughter Oonagh and twins Agnes and Ocean, whom she welcomed in May 2025.
Earlier this year, Heard celebrated her growing family in a heartfelt Instagram post. “This year I am elated beyond words to celebrate the completion of the family I’ve strived to build for years,” she wrote. “I thought I couldn’t possibly burst with more joy. Well, now I am bursting times three!!!”
