Cara Delevingne confirms she was in a relationship with Amber Heard during Johnny Depp divorce

Cara Delevingne has confirmed for the first time that she and Amber Heard were romantically involved after Heard's split from Johnny Depp, putting years of speculation to rest during a candid appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast.

Speaking to Louis Theroux, the model and actress addressed long-standing rumors about her connection to Heard, which became a topic of public interest during Heard's divorce from Depp. While Depp was said to have been suspicious of their friendship, Delevingne insisted there was no romance while the marriage was still intact.

Instead, she revealed their relationship began after the divorce, offering a clear timeline that separates her involvement from the end of Heard and Depp's marriage.

Cara Delevingne reveals when their relationship began

Theroux raised the subject, saying: "[Depp] was driven crazy by the idea that Amber might be sleeping with you."

Delevingne explained that the speculation stemmed from their work together on London Fields, which also featured Depp. "It's because we did a movie together, and it was called London Fields. He was also doing the movie. I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy. Nothing was happening at that point. Later, after they divorced, it had, I suppose."

When Theroux challenged her choice of words by asking, "You suppose?", Delevingne laughed off the hesitation before clarifying: "No, I don't suppose. I know. Yeah."

Theroux then suggested the word "entanglement," prompting Delevingne to ask: "What is the word?" After Theroux admitted, "Well, I know what an entanglement is," and described it as "a relatively short-lived liaison or series of physical encounters," Delevingne responded: "We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose. But she was also entangled with other people."

When Theroux replied, "Well, with Elon," Delevingne simply answered: "There you go."

Amber Heard has built a new life in Spain

Following the conclusion of her legal battle with Depp, Heard relocated to Madrid, Spain, where she has largely stepped away from public life and is focused on raising her children.

The actress is now a mother of three. She welcomed her first daughter, Oonagh Paige, via surrogacy in April 2021 before announcing the news publicly several months later. In May 2025, she welcomed twins, a daughter named Agnes and a son named Ocean.

Heard has never publicly identified the father of her children. Speaking previously about becoming a parent, she said she wanted to have a child "on my own terms" and has referred to herself on social media as both the "mom and dad."

She has also spoken warmly about her adopted home. Asked by local reporters whether she planned to remain in Spain, Heard replied (via People): "Yes, I hope so. Yes, I love living here."
