Johnny Depp’s controversial divorce from Amber Heard and the subsequent Depp v Heard trial are regaining attention after the release of the docuseries Depp v Heard on Netflix. Besides Heard, the Donnie Brasco actor has had several past relationships, with the most notable being his involvement with Winona Ryder.

They shared two children, one of whom is actress Lily-Rose Depp. Interestingly, it seems that Amber Heard might have played a role in the breakup of Depp and Paradis.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard met on the sets of the 2009 film The Rum Diary. Heard was paired opposite Depp and they shared a steamy shower scene where the two would kiss. Depp, however, admitted experiencing unwanted feelings toward the Aquaman actress. Depp felt guilty about this as both of them had partners at the time.
The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory actor further explained that the on-screen kiss later led to an off-screen kiss in Depp’s trailer. Although the Edward Scissorhands actor claimed that the Never Back Down actress had no intention to leave the trailer, he chose not to escalate the situation due to his feelings of guilt.
While the From Hell actor later hinted in an interview that his career was the reason for a strained relationship with Paradis, fans couldn’t help but wonder if these unwanted feelings sealed the fate of Depp and Paradis’s relationship. The exact reason for their breakup remains ambiguous.
