Cara Delevingne has finally addressed years of speculation surrounding her relationship with Amber Heard, confirming for the first time that the two were romantically involved. Rumours linking the pair had circulated throughout Amber Heard’s highly publicised split from Johnny Depp, but neither had publicly spoken about it in clear terms until now. Speaking in a recent interview, Cara explained when their relationship actually began and cleared up one of the biggest questions that followed them for years. Her comments also touched on the jealousy allegations that surrounded Depp during that period.
The British actor and model made the revelation while speaking with broadcaster Louis Theroux. During the conversation, Theroux mentioned that Depp had reportedly been “driven crazy” by the idea that Heard might have been involved with Cara. Rather than avoiding the topic, Cara offered her own version of what happened and explained that the timeline was very different from what many people believed.
Cara Says the Relationship Came After the Marriage Ended
Responding to the rumours, Cara explained that nothing romantic was happening while Amber Heard and Johnny Depp were still together. She pointed out that they first became close while working on the film London Fields, which also involved Depp, but insisted their relationship only turned romantic later.
“It’s because we did a movie together, and it was called ‘London Fields’. He was also doing the movie. I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy. Nothing was happening at that point. Later, after they divorced it had, I suppose.”
Cara went on to acknowledge that she and Heard eventually became more than friends after the marriage had already ended. She also suggested that their relationship wasn’t exclusive, describing that period of Heard’s life as more complicated.
“We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled. … But she was also entangled with other people.”
When Louis Theroux brought up long-standing reports linking Amber Heard with billionaire Elon Musk, Cara didn’t dispute the suggestion. Instead, she simply replied, “There you go.”
A Divorce That Dominated Hollywood Headlines
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp married in 2015 before separating the following year. Their divorce quickly became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about celebrity breakups, but the legal battle that followed drew even greater worldwide attention. Both actors accused each other of domestic abuse, leading to multiple court cases that kept the dispute in headlines for years.
The legal conflict intensified after Heard published a 2018 opinion article in The Washington Post, describing herself as a survivor of domestic abuse without naming Depp directly. Depp later filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit, arguing that the article damaged both his reputation and acting career. Heard responded with a $100 million countersuit, claiming Depp’s attorney had defamed her by calling her allegations a hoax.
The courtroom battle reached its conclusion in late 2022 following the widely watched Virginia defamation trial. Although the jury found both Depp and Heard liable for defaming each other, Depp received the larger damages award. The dispute was ultimately settled in December 2022 after Heard agreed to pay Depp $1 million, bringing one of Hollywood’s most closely followed legal cases to an end.
Where Amber Heard Is Now
Since the conclusion of the legal battle, Amber Heard has largely stepped away from the spotlight. Her Hollywood career slowed significantly after the trial, and she eventually left Los Angeles in search of a quieter life. The actress later relocated to Madrid, Spain, where she has remained away from constant media attention while focusing on raising her family and living more privately.
Cara Delevingne’s latest comments close another chapter in a story that generated years of public speculation. By confirming the relationship while also clarifying that it began only after Amber Heard’s marriage had ended, she has provided the clearest account yet of a romance that had long remained the subject of rumours rather than public confirmation.
