Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

According to Wikipedia, "Depp and makeup artist Lori Anne Allison were married from 1983 until 1985. In the late 1980s, he was engaged to actresses Jennifer Grey and Sherilyn Fenn before proposing in 1990 to his Edward Scissorhands co–star Winona Ryder, for whom he tattooed 'Winona Forever' on his right arm which he later changed to 'wino forever'. Between 1994 and 1997, he was in a relationship with English model Kate Moss. Following his breakup from Moss, Depp began a relationship with French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis, whom he met while filming The Ninth Gate in France in 1998. They have two children, daughter Lily–Rose Melody Depp (born 1999) and a son (born 2002). Depp stated that having children has given him a 'real foundation, a real strong place to stand in life, in work, in everything ... You cannot plan the kind of deep love that results in children. Fatherhood was not a conscious decision. It was part of the wonderful ride I was on. It was destiny. All the math finally worked'. Depp and Paradis announced that they had separated in June 2012."

Elsewhere, Wikipedia describes how Depp and Heard's divorce "drew media attention when Heard alleged that Depp had been abusive throughout their relationship. In 2018, Depp sued the publishers of British tabloid The Sun for libel, accusing Heard of abuse. In 2020, the presiding judge found that the printed article, which alleged that Depp had abused Heard, was 'substantially true'. In early 2019, Depp sued Heard for defamation over an [article] she had written on sexual and domestic abuse in The Washington Post. In 2020, Heard filed a countersuit against Depp. The trial Depp v. Heard began in Virginia in April 2022."
