Johnny Depp isn’t putting a label on his connection with model Yulia Vlasova.
“It’s very casual,” a source tells Us Weekly of Depp and Vlasova’s relationship. “They met a few years ago. They see each other here and there.”
Depp, 61, and Vlasova, 28, were seen spending time together earlier this month. The Daily Mail also posted photos of the couple cozying up to each other
The actor was previously married to Lori Anne Allison from 1983 to 1985. He later found love with Heard, 38, and they were married for two years before pulling the plug in 2017. Heard subsequently filed for divorce and obtained a temporary restraining order after she accused Depp of domestic violence.
Depp, who has denied the claims, sued the U.K. newspaper The Sun after they referred to him as a “wife beater” in a 2018 article. During the trial, Depp hired his attorney to represent him in the libel lawsuit. He ultimately lost his overseas case two years later.
In 2018, Depp took Heard to court after she penned a Washington Post op-ed about her history with abuse. Depp claimed her article negatively impacted his career even though he was not named in the piece. Meanwhile, Heard argued that she lost out on jobs following their split due to their messy legal battles.
A jury ultimately ruled in favor of Depp after several weeks of testimonies in June 2022. The judge announced that Depp would be awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Heard, for her part, was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages and no punitive damages for her counterclaim.
