The media scrutiny on Johnny Depp in recent years has been far from favorable. His legal dispute with ex Amber Heard attracted global attention. The issue arose when Depp sued Heard for $50 million in a defamation case, triggered by her March 2019 op-ed in the Washington Post, in which she recounted her experience with domestic violence.
Depp won the defamation case but the jury held him accountable for statements made by his lawyer, Adam Waldman, who had called Heard’s allegations a ‘hoax.’
Heard was awarded $2 million and she has stayed out of the spotlight for the last couple of years.
Depp also stayed out of the public eye before he appeared at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023 where he received a 7-minute-long standing ovation for his film Jeanne Du Barry.
During the ongoing court case, Depp was rumored to be dating his lawyer, Joelle Rich, but the relationship was never confirmed.
According to a source close to the former couple, “[Heard] is focused on motherhood and her daughter. She is happy and feels comfortable in Spain. She is glad to be settled and is moving forward with her life. She doesn’t want to deal with any drama surrounding Johnny or the trial anymore.”
That same source claimed the same for Depp, saying he is “very happy to move on with his life and feels redemption. He feels grateful to his true fans and knows who they are. He is prioritizing his career and work.”
Recently, media outlets reported that The Pirates of the Caribbean star is enjoying ‘casual’ romance with a new partner, 29-year-old model Yulia Vlasova.
A source told People that they don’t use the “boyfriend-girlfriend” labels yet but “They see each other here and there.”
In Instagram photos shared and published by The Daily Mail, some of which have since been deleted from the platform, Depp and Vlasova can be seen cozying up to each other.
Vlasova is a beautician and model from provincial Russia, namely Sortirovka in Yekaterinburg.
Sources claim the two “have known each other for a few years and see each other when they can.”

The beautiful Russian and Depp allegedly met in Prague, where she owns a makeup and hairstyling studio, when he attended the 55th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in August 2021.
By July of the following year, they had grown close, with her being seen not only spending time with Depp but also with his friend, the late musician Jeff Beck, who died in 2023.
Vlasova is just a few years older than Depp’s daughter.
