Unlike Depp’s other romances, their relationship was relatively private and since their separation, they have reportedly remained friends.
The actor’s marriage to Aquaman star Amber Heard has been his most controversial and publicly scrutinized relationship.
They met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2009 and tied the knot in 2015. Yet after just one year of marriage, Heard filed for divorce from Depp, citing irreconcilable differences.
Later that year, she would file a domestic restraining order against the star.
In 2022, Depp won a defamation case against Heard, with a seven-person jury deciding that the actress defamed the A-lister in her 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post, which did not mention Depp by name.
Depp’s latest relationship is also making headlines – in particular, fans have pointed out two concerns.
The Edward Scissorhands star is reportedly dating Russian beautician and model Yulia Vlasova, based in Prague.
She owns a makeup and hairstyling studio and reportedly crossed paths with Depp at the 55th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2021.
A source tells People magazine they don’t use the ‘boyfriend-girlfriend labels.’ Another insider claims Depp is ‘really too busy’ to explore any romantic avenue ‘right now.’
While Daily Mail reports the pair have seen each other ‘here and there’ for two years.
Although the two haven’t confirmed the nature of their relationship, Vlasova has reportedly hinted at romance in deleted Instagram posts.
One of the first things that has caught fans off guard is Vlasova’s striking resemblance to Depp’s ex-wife Heard.
People are insisting they share similar facial features, as well as the blonde hair.
One person remarks: “Looks like an Amber Heard replica.”
Another comments: “In some pics, she reminds me a bit of Amber Heard…”
In agreement, a third says: “She has the same type of look.”
Another factor contributing to fans’ unease is the significant age difference between Depp and Vlasova.
While Depp is a Hollywood veteran with a career spanning decades, it’s unclear exactly how old Vlasova is – reports have varied but most sources claim she is in her late twenties.
Commenting on the age gap, one person opines: “Johnny should find someone his own age, not another younger woman like Amber Heard.”
A second writes: “I think you’re a great actor but seriously that woman is young enough to be your daughter! Come on!”
