The high-profile couple began their relationship around the start of 2012 (viaInsider).
But, that was far from the end of the pair’s association.
Heard wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post in 2018, saying she was abused.
After the lengthy public proceedings, the jury mostly sided with Depp (viathe BBC).
In 2020, Heard was reported to have begun dating Bianca Butti.
Here’s everything we know about their partnership.
They were spotted kissing before getting into a red mustang to leave together.
The pair had plenty in common due to their shared career in the film industry.
She was in the 2013 film “Hank and Asha.”
And she’s worked as a cinematographer for years.
Their romance sparked soon after Butti’s breast cancer diagnosis.
The cinematographer had started her second battle with cancer a year prior.
Butti was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 when she was just 34 years old.
She recovered, but sadly her doctors confirmed that the breast cancer had returned in 2019.
According to theDaily Mail, Butti underwent chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation during her first cancer treatment.
But, after a lot of research also decided to bring in alternative treatments for her second diagnosis.
It’s amazing how difficult that can be!
Working on that in a serious way.
Feeling supported by loved ones helps.
Coming at it from all angles."
In March 2020, the pair were seen out together occasionally.
They were spotted hand-in-hand again later that month at a home and garden center.
Heard also shared anInstagram video, likely filmed by her cinematographer girlfriend.
For our French toast this morning."
The suit didn’t go to trial until the Summer of 2020.
Despite all the controversy, Butti supported Heard throughout the 2020 trial.
She was seen attending court with Heard and leaving together on multiple occasions (viaMetro).
A source toldUs Weeklythat Heard was “happier than ever” with her new relationship.
Presumably, the pair was quite happy when the judge sided with The Sun in the 2020 suit.
TheDaily Mailshared photos of the pair walking hand-in-hand through LAX.
Butti was wearing a gray cordovan hat, a black jacket, and skinny jeans.
Fans quickly speculated that the look was intended to make Butti appear like Depp.
“It IS creepy.
Maybe AH is looking for another Tasya, not for a Johnny,” the user said.
Neither Butti nor Heard commented on the accusations.
According toThe Mirror, she had her baby with the help of a surrogate.
She posted anInstagram photoof the two of them a few months later to share the news.
I wanted to do it on my own terms.
Heard already planned to have her daughter years before she and Bianca Butti ever started dating.
While they were together when Heard became a mother, Butti is not a parent to Oonagh.
There’s also been no information released on who the biological father is.
Heard has made it clear that she is parenting her daughter alone.
In 2010 Heard was in the middle of a high-profile 4-year relationship with artist Tasya Van Re.
I love who I love; it’s the person that matters.
“I’m from Austin, Texas … And I was raised in a religious home …
I remember when I told them about my relationship, that I was in love with this woman …
I remember at the beginning of that it was just tears.”
It was never in Heard’s nature to stay quiet or keep her sexuality hidden.
Regardless of how people reacted in her family or the industry, she wasn’t going to hide.
During an interview with The Economist, later quoted byE!
According to theMirror, Butti and Heard’s relationship simply fizzled out.
Heard was filming the sequel to her blockbuster “Aquaman,” “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.”
She was shooting the film in the U.K., and living on separate continents understandably strained the relationship.
Her lack of time, exhaustion, and stress led to Heard ending her romance with Butti.
Although ending the relationship was likely difficult, Heard seemed more concerned about her upcoming court battle with Depp.
Why was Bianca Butti missing during the defamation case?
Although the UK court had already ruled against Depp, that was in his lawsuit against The Sun.
But, just because the pair are no longer together doesn’t mean Butti has stopped supporting Heard.
What is happening in the media, social and other, is just awful and inappropriate."
Heard and Depp’s trial was heavily publicized and commented on in the press and social media.
Butti made it clear that she agreed with the latter opinion and continued calling Heard a friend.
My heart goes out to her during these difficult times.
No matter what happens#istandwithamberheard."
