The two began dating in 2012. This was when Depp broke up with his partner Paradis with whom he was with for 14 long years. The couple began dating and they were the talk of the town as Depp was known to be a playboy and Amber was a rising star. They were a power couple in the making.
In 2014 the internet was shocked when Amber was seen with a large engagement ring on her finger. This was something that no one was expecting. In multiple interviews, Depp confirmed that the couple was engaged and that there was nothing to hide from the people.
It was in 2015 that the couple got married in a very private ceremony. This was just for family and close friends. The entire ceremony took place in their home in L.A. This marriage was soon followed by controversy as the couple was seen making an apology video together for breaching Australia's biosecurity laws.
In 2016 Amber filed for divorce. This was shocking but what was even more shocking was the accusation that Depp had physically assaulted the actress and was physically abusive towards her. This sent a shock wave through the internet as Depp was never perceived to be the type of person who could assault a woman.
She alleged that she filed for divorce after Depp had thrown his phone at her face leaving her with injuries. She even got a temporary restraining order filed against the actor. According to her, Depp was physically abusive throughout their relationship and was constantly under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
