On Monday, actress Amber Heard filed for divorce from Johnny Depp after 15 months of marriage. This move comes only 3 days following the passing of Depp’s mother. The actors met back in 2009 on the set of The Rum Diary and were married in February of last year.
Prior to the filing, the couple had not been seen together publicly in quite some time. Depp was noticeably absent from the Met Gala, backing out at the last minute. Heard attended the function alone. The actor also walked the red carpet at the premiere of his latest movie, Alice Through the Looking Glass, alone on Monday.
Back in November, Heard denied rumors that there was trouble in paradise, telling Marie Claire: “I try not to react to the horrible misrepresentation of our lives, but it is strange and hard.”
What makes the split murky is the absence of a prenuptial agreement. Depp is reportedly worth $400 million. Heard is allegedly asking for spousal support and Depp has already filed a response through his attorney asking the judge to deny the request.
