In 2016, Amber filed for divorce from Johnny and was granted a restraining order. Her divorce was finalized in 2017 after they settled out of court, leaving Amber with a sum of $7 million to later donate to charity. However, things got especially complicated when Amber wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post. In the 2018 article, Her Zombie Land The actress described her experience as a victim of domestic abuse. While her story didn't mention Johnny by her name, it was clear to everyone who read the article that the Alice in Wonderland star was her alleged abuser.

What was Jack Depp's relationship with Amber Heard?

When his father married Amber, Jack was only 13 years old. At the time, Amber suggested that she had a great relationship with Jack and his sister, Lily-Rose, and gushed about being his stepmother during an interview with Marie Claire in 2015. She described her relationship with Johnny's children as "an honor and the best". , the most amazing gift I have received in my life”, and she adds:“ I feel new flavors that I did not know existed. New colors have been added to my life that I didn't know existed. I'm so happy."

 

 

In contrast, Johnny would later describe his children's relationship with Amber as "non-existent" during an April 2022 court testimony. "My children are much smarter than me," he said at the time, before revealing that his daughter Lily-Rose did not even attend her wedding with Amber. "She and Mrs. Heard were not on particularly good terms, for various reasons," she shared.

How is the relationship between Johnny Depp and Jack Depp?

So how is Johnny Depp and Jack Depp's relationship now? Johnny's son Jack lives an extremely private life and as such has never commented on Amber's accusations or his father's trial. But over the years, the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory actor has painted a strong picture of his relationship with his son. In 2014, Johnny couldn't help but talk about the talents of his son. 

 

 

 

 

“My boy Jack, he has always been a very talented cartoonist,” he told the investigator at the time. “He draws really super well. He also plays music very well. He has a good feeling for it. Aside from school plays and stuff, he hasn't shown any desire to become an actor.Phew."

 

 

 

While Jack doesn't follow in his father's footsteps as an actor, he does share some other similarities with his father. The French native, for his part, bears a striking resemblance to his father. He also seems to have a not-so-lucky track record of being a bad driver. During a 2015 interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Johnny couldn't help but laugh that his son got behind the wheel: "He's got my instincts, boy, and he's crashed about five golf carts," Johnny joked. If it's worth it though, Jack was only 13 at the time, so it's entirely possible he's gotten better since then.

 

 

 

After Amber's allegations became public in 2018, Johnny expressed sympathy for his son for having to deal with the public scrutiny of his claims. “I'm sure it wasn't easy for my 14-year-old son to go to school; You know what I mean?" Johnny told GQ in 2018. "With people saying, 'Hey, check out this magazine, man. What, your dad hits girls or something?' Why did he have to go through that? Why did my daughter have to go through that?

 

 

 

 

Johnny went on to express his desire to protect his son and daughter from criticism over the years. At the start of his libel trial in April 2022, the actor shared that he felt the need to "clear the record" for the sake of his children. "It was a complete shock," Johnny said of Amber's accusations. “I just didn't need to go in that direction as nothing like that had ever happened. In the relationship there were arguments and things of that nature, but I never got to the point of hitting Mrs. Heard in any way, nor have I hit any woman in my life.

 

 

 

Johnny continued, “The news of her accusations had spread through the industry and then made its way through the media and social media became quite global, let's say 'facts' so to speak. Since I knew there was no truth to it, I felt it was my responsibility to stand up for myself, not just for myself in that case, but also for my children." He added: "I wanted to cleanse my children of this horrible thing that they had to read about his father, which was not true." While Jack has yet to weigh in on his father's comments, it's clear where Johnny stands as a father today.
