Heard Relationship Confirmed
Cara Delevingne Confirms 'Entanglement' with Amber Heard Amidst Johnny Depp Divorce Fallout
Key Points
London Fields, the film in which Delevingne and Heard starred together, flopped at the box office and drew negative reviews, providing context for the high-profile relationship during a publicly scrutinized period.
Amber Heard relocated to Madrid with her daughter Oonagh Paige after the fallout from the Depp-Heard split, with reports noting she later welcomed twins the following year.
Johnny Depp was awarded significant damages in his defamation case against Amber Heard, with reports noting $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.
Harvey Weinstein reportedly contacted Delevingne and questioned her about her sexuality, saying, 'Are you gay?' and warning, 'You’ll never make it in the industry if people think you’re gay.'
Delevingne publicly confirmed she is a lesbian in May, a disclosure she discussed in relation to her broader experiences and the pressure she faced in the industry.
Cara Delevingne has confirmed she and Amber Heard "were entangled" during Heard's 2016 divorce from Johnny Depp, putting years of speculation to rest. The British model and actress made the disclosure on The Louis Theroux Podcast, saying Depp was "pretty driven crazy by jealousy" during that period.
Delevingne, 33, clarified that nothing romantic happened during the filming of *London Fields*. The relationship, she said, only became physical after the divorce was finalized in January 2017. Heard was also linked to Elon Musk around the same time, a connection Musk still denies went beyond friendship.
What Delevingne Actually Said on the Podcast
Louis Theroux directly asked Delevingne about "the Johnny Depp thing" during the interview. She told him: "We were close for a long time... when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled." She accepted Theroux's framing of it as a "short-lived liaison," though she did so reluctantly, according to LADbible.
Delevingne was careful about timing. She insisted Depp's jealousy flared during the *London Fields* shoot, but that nothing had happened yet between her and Heard. The romantic side only developed after the split, she said. Heard was also seeing other people during that window, including Musk, who entered a high-profile relationship with Heard between 2017 and 2018.
London Fields Flopped While Its Stars Made Headlines
*London Fields* is the film that brought Delevingne and Heard together. Production ran from 2013 to 2014. The movie also featured a cameo by Johnny Depp, making its set one of the more loaded locations in Hollywood history. It finally hit theaters on October 26, 2018, after years of lawsuits between the director and producers.
The film bombed spectacularly. It made just $160,000 in its opening weekend across 613 theaters, against an estimated $8 million budget, according to In Touch Weekly. Critics panned it. The behind-the-scenes chaos matched the personal turmoil playing out among its cast at exactly the same time.
Depp Won Big in Court, Heard Moved to Madrid
The Depp-Heard saga reached its legal peak during the 2022 defamation trial in Fairfax, Virginia. A jury awarded Depp $10,350,000 in damages — $10 million in compensatory damages plus $350,000 after Virginia's punitive cap was applied. Heard received $2 million in her countersuit. During the trial, testimony alleged a "three-way affair" involving Heard, Delevingne, and Musk — claims all three denied at the time.
Heard relocated to Madrid in 2022 and has largely stepped away from Hollywood. She now raises three children there: daughter Oonagh Paige, born in April 2021 via surrogate, and twins Ocean and Agnes, born in May 2025. Delevingne's 2026 confirmation adds a new layer to the trial record but is unlikely to reopen any legal proceedings, analysts say.
Weinstein's Warning and Delevingne Coming Out as a Lesbian
The podcast interview covered more than just Heard. Delevingne described an encounter with Harvey Weinstein, the convicted producer. He reportedly asked her, "Are you gay?" and warned, "You'll never make it in the industry if people think you're gay." That kind of pressure, she suggested, shaped how long it took her to speak openly about her identity.
Delevingne publicly came out as a lesbian in May 2026 during a confessional segment at a Rosalía concert. LGBTQ+ advocates have framed the decade-long delay as a direct result of industry threats like Weinstein's. The podcast appearance, timed to her music debut, marks what analysts call a deliberate "vulnerability rebrand" — using honesty to reset her public image on her own terms.
