Cara Delevingne Confirms Romance With Amber Heard: What Happened Between Them After Johnny Depp’s Divorce

12 July 2026

For years, the alleged romance between Cara Delevingne and Amber Heard was one of the most discussed rumors surrounding the high-profile divorce between the actress and Johnny Depp. Now, the British model has decided to speak about the matter for the first time and confirmed that they maintained a romantic relationship, although she clarified that it began after the marriage had already ended.

The revelation came during her appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast, where she answered bluntly to a question about the versions that circulated for years. In the interview, Louis Theroux directly asked her about the rumors linking her to Amber Heard during Johnny Depp’s separation.

The model was clear in her response: “We were very close for a long time, and when they were going through the divorce, yes, we were involved.” However, she wanted to dispel any suspicion of infidelity and explained that the romantic bond began only after Heard and Depp ended their relationship. “After the divorce, yes,” she stated.

Cara Delevigne confirmed that she had an affair with Amber Heard.

Cara Delevingne explained that the speculation did not arise during the divorce, but several years earlier, when they both met on the set of London Fields, the 2018 film in which Johnny Depp also had a brief cameo.

According to her account, the actor already distrusted the close friendship that existed between them. “I think the jealousy drove him crazy. Nothing was happening at that time. After the divorce, yes,” she asserted. Even when Theroux asked her if Depp was simply imagining the situation, she answered firmly: “No, I don’t think so. I know it.”

Cara Delevingne and Amber Heard: a relationship that began after the divorce

Delevingne insisted that the romance began only when Amber Heard was already legally separating from Johnny Depp, thus ruling out that there had been a parallel relationship during the marriage.

According to her explanation, it was at that moment when the friendship they had maintained for years evolved into a love story.

The statements take on particular significance because during the high-profile defamation trial that Depp and Heard faced, which ended in 2022, the alleged bond between the actress and the model once again became a topic of public debate.

Although both had avoided addressing those rumors for years, Cara Delevingne has now decided to put an end to them with a confession that clarifies the moment when the relationship began.
