Johnny Depp, Amber Heard Engagement Confirmed
Johnny Depp and girlfriend Amber Heard are officially engaged, according to reports this week.
The pair met on the set of their film "The Rum Diaries" in 2009 and has been dating since Depp's split from Vanessa Paradis two years later.
According to reports, Depp proposed to the 27-year-old actress around the holidays.
"It happened on Christmas Eve," said a source close to the couple, according to Celebuzz.
However, Heard did not immediately have an answer for Depp, who is 23 years her senior.
"Amber really took her time to make up her mind," the source added.
Speculation of the Depp's romance with Heard arose after the actor allegedly bought her a horse in 2011.
Furthermore, Heard has been spotted in Los Angeles with a ring on her left ring finger.
"The proposal happened a while ago," said a source close to the actress, according to Perez Hilton. "She just didn't wear the ring."
Meanwhile, Heard has remained tight-lipped about Depp from the very start of their relationship, insisting that her personal life be kept separate from her career.
"It's not part of my professional life. I want to be an artist. I don't want to be a celebrity," said the starlet speaking to Flare magazine, presumably of 50-year-old Depp.
"You can find pictures of me [online] pumping gas, picking up dry cleaning, walking my dog, but nowhere are you going to find pictures of me hanging around at some nightclub," Heard added.
The Texas native then cited other high-profile relationships found in Hollywood today, noting that public scrutiny involved.
"Can you ever imagine yourself in a situation like Brad Pitt in Angelina Jolie or Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, where the world feels like they have a stake in your private life" Heard queried. "I would never want it."
Lacking answers for how to keep her love life private, the actress added, "I guess I could not hold hands with who I want to, but what kind of life would that be? I don't want to change just because people are watching."
