Cara Delevingne confirmed that she and Amber Heard had a romantic relationship amid the actress’ highly-publicized divorce from Johnny Depp.
“It’s because we did a movie together, and it was called London Fields. He was also doing the movie,” Delevingne, 33, said of her connection to Heard, 40, and Depp, 63, during her Monday, June 29, appearance on “The Louis Theroux Podcast.”
“I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy,” she continued. “Nothing was happening at that point. Later, after they divorced, it had, I suppose.”
Theroux asked Delevingne to clarify what she meant by she supposed.
“No, I don’t suppose. I know,” she said.
Theroux asked Delevingne if she considered her relationship with Heard to be “an entanglement,” prompting the Carnival Row actress to admit she did not understand the word’s meaning.
“I think it means a relatively short-lived liaison or series of physical encounters,” Theroux explained.
After confirming what Theroux meant by “entanglement,” Delevingne shared that she guessed her and Heard’s dynamic could be described as such.
“We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose,” she said. “But she was also entangled with other people.”
Delevingne and Heard were first linked as friends in the 2010s. The women would attend multiple functions alongside other famous pals, including Margot Robbie. Delevingne was by Heard’s side following the Aquaman actress’ split from Depp in 2016. When Heard filed for divorce, she accused Depp of physical and sexual abuse. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor vehemently denied the allegations
Six years later, Depp sued Heard for $50 million, claiming she defamed him in a 2018 Washington Post essay she wrote about being a victim of sexual violence. Heard, who did not name Depp specifically in the article, countersued for $100 million. A jury found both Depp and Heard liable for defamation. However, Depp was ultimately awarded a more substantial compensatory and punitive damages.
During the lawsuit, Depp accused Heard of having affairs with Delevingne and Elon Musk. Delevingne and Heard did not confirm their relationship at the time. Heard and Musk started dating in 2016 after she split from Depp, but the pair didn’t confirm their romance until April 2017. Heard and Musk ultimately called it quits four months later.
“I was really in love, and it hurt bad. Well, she broke up with me more than I broke up with her,” Musk told Rolling Stone in November 2017, adding that he was in “severe emotional pain” in the wake of the split. “I’m looking for a long-term relationship. I’m not looking for a one-night stand. I’m looking for a serious companion or soulmate, that kind of thing. I will never be happy without having someone.”
