Background & Context
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp married in February 2015 and divorced in May 2016, a split that later produced a high-profile defamation trial in 2022. Both actors appeared in the 2018 thriller *London Fields*, which also featured model-turned-actress Cara Delevingne in a supporting role. The film’s production coincided with Heard’s separation from Depp and with rumors that Depp was “driven crazy by the idea that Amber might be sleeping with you.” Delevingne’s comments about the period were delivered on *The Louis Theroux Podcast* released on June 29, 2024.

Core Revelation: Relationship Details
Delevingne explained that she and Heard were “close for a long time” and that their romantic involvement began after Heard’s divorce was finalized. She described Johnny Depp’s reaction as “pretty driven crazy by jealousy” during the *London Fields* shoot, but insisted “nothing was happening at that point.” When Theroux asked whether Heard’s other relationships included Elon Musk, Delevingne replied, “There you go,” confirming Heard’s simultaneous involvement with other people.
Official Statements & Responses
Delevingne’s interview framed the romance as an “entanglement” that occurred post-divorce, emphasizing that the pair were not involved while Depp was still married. Theroux’s prompting highlighted Depp’s alleged jealousy, a claim that Delevingne neither denied nor expanded upon beyond noting the actor’s emotional response. No formal comment from Depp or his representatives was recorded in the sources.
Criticism, Rumors, and Opposition
Media outlets have long speculated about a three-way “love triangle” involving Delevingne, Heard, and Elon Musk. Musk has previously denied any intimacy with Delevingne. The *Ladbible* article notes that the rumor persisted despite the lack of confirmation, and that Delevingne’s statement limited the claim to Heard’s “entanglement with other people,” not a direct link to Musk.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Sources differ on the precise timing of the romance. Some describe the relationship as beginning “after they divorced,” while others note that Delevingne said they were “entangled” “when they were going through the divorce.” The term “entanglement” remains undefined, and no details are provided about the “other people” Heard was involved with. Additionally, no direct statements from Depp or his legal team are available.
Verbatim Quotes
- “Am I meant to comment? It’s because we did a movie together, and it was called London Fields. He was also doing the movie. I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy. Nothing was happening at that point. Later, after they divorced, it had, I suppose.” — Cara Delevingne
- “We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose.” — Cara Delevingne
- “There you go.” — Cara Delevingne
- “Harvey Weinstein called me up and said, ‘Are you gay?'” — Cara Delevingne
- “Well, now I look back on it, it was super evident really young. I knew at, like, 11 years old. I had this one friend that I was like, ‘Oh, I think I care about her more than she likes me, and I don’t know how, but I do.’ It was obvious now, but then it really wasn’t, and I’m very proud of it now.” — Cara Delevingne
Why It Matters
The disclosure adds a new personal dimension to the Depp-Heard legal saga, clarifying rumors that have circulated for a decade. It also foregrounds LGBTQ visibility in Hollywood, as Delevingne openly discusses her lesbian identity and past industry pressure from Harvey Weinstein. The clarification may influence public perception of the defamation case’s broader narrative.
What’s Next
Delevingne is slated to appear in Jordan Firstman’s Cannes breakout *Club Kid*. Heard has relocated to Madrid and welcomed twins in 2023. Both continue to navigate post-trial public attention while Delevingne’s podcast interview remains a reference point for future discussions of the intertwined personal histories.
