Amber Heard Reacts to News of Johnny Depp Arriving in Spain, Where She Now Lives Under a Different Name

Actors Amber Heard and Johnny Depp had a fairytale romance that quickly became volatile. As such, the pair would end up in court in one of the most watched and closely followed defamation cases in U.S. history. Following the case, the actress went to Spain searching for a new life while the dust settled. However, in a strange twist, Depp announces his plans to visit Spain for filming, and the former Aquaman actress is caught wind of the news.

Amber Heard’s Tumultuous Marriage

Amber Heard met Johnny Depp in 2009, and the pair began dating two years later during filming of The Rum Diary, an adaptation of a book by Hunter S. Thompson. The film follows a “tangled love story full of jealousy, treachery, and violent alcoholic lust.” Ironically, the pair’s marriage would emulate some of these toxic behaviors, and their defamation trial footage displays several examples.

The Most Reported Trial

The most watched and reported trial in U.S. history, streaming on Netflix, shows the pair encountered several bizarre or off-putting moments throughout their union. Purportedly, Amber Heard posted an article in the Washington Post that addressed some of her past trauma. While she didn’t name Johnny Depp, his lawyers argued the article falsely implied that he’d abused her during their marriage. As a result, the actor sued Amber Heard for defamation.

Amber Heard’s Name Change

Ultimately, the judge ruled in favor of Depp, awarding him $15 million. Later, she countersued for “damages” and was awarded $2 million. Amber Heard became widely despised by the public following the release of the trial footage. As a result, she moved to Spain to get out of the spotlight and changed her name to Martha Jane Cannary.

Amber Heard Finds Peace

It’s been two years since the pair’s disturbing trial, and Johnny Depp has recently hinted at the release of a new film at a film festival in Spain. As such, news of his arrival reached Amber Heard, who was surprisingly unphased. “I’m living here in Madrid; I love Spain,” she said. I’m very lucky to be here, and regarding my past, I don’t feel like thinking or talking about it because I’m happy and in peace.”

Loving Motherhood

For instance, Amber Heard has used her time out of the spotlight to focus on raising her daughter. “She spends every day with her girl. They stroll around, visit parks, and enjoy family time. Amber is a great mom,” a source told PEOPLE in 2022.
