Johnny Depp And Amber Heard Make Rare Public Appearance As A Couple

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard made their official debut appearance as a couple at The Art of Elysium’s 7th Annual Heaven Gala Saturday, Jan. 11.

Though the two lovebirds, who have been dating since 2012 after meeting on the set of their film The Rum Diary (2011), did not walk the red carpet together, but did pose for photos inside.

Depp and Heard have worked hard to keep their relationship private and out of the public eye. In fact, the couple refuses to discuss each other in interviews and have never really confirmed their relationship, though they have been photographed together by the paparazzi.

“It’s not part of my professional life. I want to be an artist. I don’t want to be a celebrity,” Heard said in an interview with Flare magazine in 2013.

When rumors that Depp and Heard were dating began in 2012, their alleged relationship immediately became a hot topic of discussion due to Depp’s recent breakup with his partner of 14 years, French actress Vanessa Paradis. Paradis and Depp share custody of their two children, Jack, 11, and Lily-Rose, 14. To a juicy gossip consumer, all signs pointed to Depp leaving Paradis for a younger woman – Depp is now 50 and Heard is 27. But, Heard and Depp are still going strong two years later, as evidenced by their rare display of PDA on Saturday.

Heard and Depp were caught cuddling in the audience, and a source described them as “so in love."

Depp is also set to make a cameo in the upcoming thriller London Fields, which Heard stars in alongside Billy Bob Thorton and Jim Sturgess.
