Model and actor Cara Delevingne has finally addressed years of speculation surrounding her relationship with Amber Heard, confirming that the two were romantically involved during the period of Heard's highly publicised divorce from Johnny Depp. The revelation came during a candid conversation on The Louis Theroux Podcast, where Delevingne also spoke about Depp's reported jealousy and Heard's alleged involvement with Elon Musk at the time.

Cara Delevingne confirms relationship with Amber Heard

When podcast host Louis Theroux brought up longstanding rumours that Depp believed Heard was involved with Delevingne, the model initially hesitated before explaining that nothing romantic had happened while they were filming London Fields, a movie that featured both Heard and Depp.

"I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy. Nothing was happening at that point," Delevingne said, before adding, "Later, after they divorced, it had, I suppose." She later clarified that she was certain about the timeline, confirming the relationship began after Heard's marriage had ended.

Delevingne further revealed that she and Heard had shared a close bond for years before it turned romantic. "We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose," she said. She also noted that Heard "was also entangled with other people" during that period. When Theroux mentioned Elon Musk, Delevingne simply replied, "There you go," appearing to acknowledge the widely reported rumours linking Heard to the billionaire entrepreneur.

All about the rumours

Rumours about Heard and Delevingne first surfaced in 2016 after the pair were spotted together several times following Heard's split from Depp. During the actor's later legal battles with his ex-wife, allegations about Heard's relationships with both Delevingne and Musk became part of the public narrative, although neither woman had confirmed a romance until now.

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp were married from 2015 to 2016 before becoming embroiled in a series of legal disputes that drew global attention. Their courtroom battles culminated in the widely watched 2022 defamation trial, which ended with a jury largely ruling in Depp's favour. Since then, Heard has stepped away from Hollywood and has been living in Madrid, Spain, with her children, while Delevingne has continued her acting and modelling career.
