Today is Johnny Depp and Amber Rose’s one-year wedding anniversary. The typical first anniversary gift is paper. Since E! News doesn’t run a printed-on-paper edition, the Depps will have to settle for E! Online’s rather exhaustive and cloying take on their first year of marriage. But in typical tabloid fashion, buried within the flowery prose about how Johnny and Amber just “connect” on a deeply spiritual and intellectual level, E!’s source has dished a little dirt. I’ll spare you the sappy parts of this story (you can read the full piece here if you’re in the mood) and just give you the gossipy source-quotes:
Their first year of marriage wasn’t all good: “A source tells E! News that their first year of marriage wasn’t entirely smoothing sailing, but while their intense personalities can cause conflict, its that very passion that helps them work through the rough patches. Our insider describes the couple as both passionate, intense, opinionated and private people… and in agreement when they started dating that they wanted to keep their relationship as private as possible before even tacitly confirming that they were a couple.”
They’ve worked through issues: Overall, the insider continues, like many couples they’ve had their ups and downs, but they’ve worked through the downs “and are stronger because of it.”
They’re both independent: Johnny and Amber are both “very independent” and enjoy their space, and another reason that their marriage works is that “they let each other be their own person,” the source continued. But they also “understand one another in a way no one else ever could. They’re both supportive of one another and push each other to be better people… They’re in a good place right now and are excited for the future.”
I’m still a little bit mystified as to why they even got married. Wouldn’t it have been more artistic and bohemian to just shack up and live their independent lives together? I think she wanted to get married and he wanted to prove that he was still a Hollywood heartthrob, capable of attracting a younger woman. I also think that most of the drama they’ve been through in this past year was manufactured, as in… she’s a drama queen and he’s drunk.
Also: there’s been a lot of tabloid gossip in the past few weeks that Amber is knocked up. They haven’t announced anything, but I think she probably will get pregnant soon, don’t you? I’m also surprised that they didn’t attend the SAGs last weekend – he was actually up for a SAG, so it seemed strange that he didn’t come out. Maybe he was still mad that he didn’t get an Oscar nomination, plus he didn’t want to have to sit there while Leo wins everything.

Johnny Depp married Amber Rose? Wow. (I know, I know…it’s way to easy to mix up all these people.)
Can you imagine those two together?
That would be wild.
I would actually prefer it because at least Rose has some kind of personality, while Heard is so bland.
He and Rob Kardashian could hole up together and eat Funyuns.
She’d totally read him for filth, which, to be honest, is what he needs now.
@OhDear Why does he need to be read for filth? Did he do anything wrong?
@Paulie – He’s been a mess for a while (the whole bringing the dogs to Australia controversy, issues with his being on set for filming) and appears to have addiction issues (e.g. seemed to have been drunk when presenting at some awards show). He’s always been a character, but he was known for his professionalism and now that’s changing.
For a second I genuinely couldn’t remember Amber’s last name and Rose seemed about as plausible as Depp.
I consider it an improvement.
I would *love* to see that couple. LOL!
Now that would be magical 🤔😜
I feel like this is Amber putting this out to explain why he didn’t show up to the Golden Globes with her and didn’t take her to the Sag awards. Also, why would Johnny be upset about not getting an Oscar nom when he didn’t even want to win the Oscars?
Is he wearing powder in that middle photo?
I can’t get past the red tooth in photo #2….what the hell?
That’s where I got stuck, too! He looked bloody awful (pun intended!). Yikes.
Looks like a red one and a black one…ewe
Why do I think of Weekend at Bernie’s every time I see them together?
Omg yes. He looks so stiff and lifeless. Like she’s posing with a mannequin.
Melody, I just spit my drink out! Comment of the day!
Teehee…Amber Rose
“They connect on a spiritual and intellectual level.” It’s easier for a couple to do this if the woman is young and beautiful – the channels are more clear I guess.
Hahaha Shaz!
Giggle-snort.
She better get that baby cooking before they split up.
Am I the only one who feels like it’s been a lot longer than one year? Because these two are just exhausting.
+100000000
The only thing “exhausting” about them is the constant false stories the tabloids make up. They’re both sweet and harmless.
Johnny married Amber Rose? Damn!! that’s some NEWS!!
Where’s the marriage certificate?
Why does Johnny always look like he’s gulping down a huge airball or something? I don’t get the tucked-chin look at all.
I remember when he was beautiful. I barely recognize him. Time is cruel, y’all
Yep, but at least FINALLY a man is getting slack for it! Usually it’s just women who get dissed for getting older and losing their looks because SHOCK no one stays in their 20s forever.
Yes, time… and alcohol
I like how when something positive is printed about these two it’s automatically BS and when something negative is printed it’s fact. Cmon they deserve a break me thinks.
God he looks terrible.
The photos are not that recent, he’s been looking good lately.
Oh, I don’t think it was just Amber pushing for a wedding. Johnny always falls head over heels and gets engaged, just never makes it down the aisle. But he’s now in his 50s obsessed with a much younger actress, who does seem to have a mind of her own which throws him off his game with her, and he wanted to lock her down. I think it’s more of an obsessive love for a much younger woman that caused him to want to get married.
Intense personalities? Where?
A nicer way of saying “melodramatic.”
I’m sad for Johnny he’s going down the Marlon Brando route and the addictions are ruining not only his looks but his talent and reputation. Before he got with Amber whatshername he known in HW for being a complete professional as well as a sweetheart to work with – now he doesn’t even turn up for shooting on time given the stories about him on the new POTC movie. Not that i’m blaming her but she’s clearly enabling or using with him.
“Not that i’m blaming her but she’s clearly enabling or using with him” You say you don’t blame her but you clearly are a little (no offense meant but I noticed). I don’t think it’s fair to say she was the catalyst for his behavior now or that she is clearly enabling or using with him. His obvious issues shouldn’t be put on her at all and he should own them all. They are also actors and spend a lot of time apart and he is making choices all on his own. Even if she does use with him- it’s still on him. You can’t force an addict to get help until they want it. Who knows- maybe she pushes him to get help behind closed doors and we just don’t know about it?
“They are also actors and spend a lot of time apart”
You got to be kiddin’, Amber filmed TDG for only a few weeks last year. Not much time to spend apart for them.
Rough patches. Hmmm. As do all relationships and marriages. Nothing surprising about this.
year one, tho?
no bueno.
That smiling pic of Depp is the worst photo of him I’ve ever seen. Does he really look like this now?
No, he’s been looking much better recently.
Johnny Depp has never quite been my cup of tea. I mean, yeah, in Chocolat he certainly looks pretty, but he never plastered my bedroom growing up (but Corey Haim did, ha ha). However, 20 years ago, I would have never peg Johnny Depp to age so terribly. I get that it is a combination of drugs, drink, tobacco, but man they have really done a number on him. Compare how he has aged to Brad Pitt, who has also enjoyed his share of the same vices. Johnny will never get the pretty back, but now he looks like he has just completely given up on life.
Brad Pitt had had a ton of plastic surgery when I doupt Depp has had any. So maybe Depp should be compared to someone else who is 50.
To compare Johnny Depp to Brad Pitt is more than fair. Brad has certainly done some tweaking in vain, but he has not had a ton of plastic surgery. Honestly, I think Ashton Kutcher has had more plastic surgery than Brad Pitt, but people always jump on me whenever I write that Ashton Kutcher has had plastic surgery. But his nose, chin, cheeks, and lips change regularly…. Anyway, a good dentist could help Johnny immensely.
He’d definitely had something done around the time of that Venice movie with Angelina Jolie. Everyone commented on how weirdly smooth/puffy/waxy he looked.
This whole ‘Brad has had SOOO MUCH botox/surgery/whatever’ thing is exhausting, honestly. Look at these pictures of him (in character) on set just a couple of days ago. Clearly the man has wrinkles in his forehead and can move his brow perfectly well.

Is it possible he had something minor? Likely even? Sure. But it’s annoying to constantly read that he went crazy and is unrecognizable when that is plainly not the case, much as some may want it to be.
Brad Pitt has looked terrible a lot of times recently.
Has it only been a year? Feels like this has dragged on at least 50 years now.
Just a little tidbit, Depp was suppose to be at the SAG awards. There was a place card there for him at the table with Christina Ricci and Queen Latifah (seen in pre-event photos). So he RSVP’d, then at the last minute didn’t show up….that’s weird. Was he on a bender? Or was Amber Turd throwing a fit? And really if they are SOOOO happy, then why are they both repeatedly drunk and/or wasted at public events? If someone is happy, they don’t really need that stuff. Happy endorphin act like drugs. This couple still screams business arrangement to me, I’m not sure why. My guess is he wants to still look like the desirable male which he would if he took care of himself and she want’s to be a star (she wrote a note to her agent saying that’s what she was going to be, it’s in her handwriting and signed by her). The problem with trying to establish her is that she’s bland with no talent. All she has is her looks, which are pretty common for Hollywood and now that she’s about to turn 30, she’s going to have to wait another 15-20 years before she becomes relevant for Hollywood. In the mean time there’s always reality TV, she’s already shown a preference for it.
just because his picture was there, does not mean it had confirmed presence, there were photos of other actors and they also were not ..
I don’t care what anybody says. I ship them lol. Idk why…tumblr and instagram are obsessed with them
That’s because those accounts are run by her friends in Russia.
I may be uninformed but what friends in Russia? I follow a couple of Depp blogs and they don’t seem Russian to me.And judging by your previous comment you really dislike them in a kinda obsessive way.Why are you so annoyed by the fact that quite a lot of people are actually fans of them,simple as that? It’s ok if you don’t like them but denying facts isn’t a very clever thing to do. Just saying….
What does the accounts (supposedly) being in Russia have to do with anything?
I don’t ship them. AT ALL. But I like her. I have ever since I saw All the Boys Love Mandy Lane years before this Depp nonsense. And I still like her despite it.
I spend all my time on Tumblr and have never seen a picture of them or anyone who ships them. Guess it is who you follow.
I ship them as well. <3
By source they mean Amber via her publicist or “friend” right? I mean that thing reads like a press release by Amber with all that blabber about “old soul, independent” and still trying to paint her as being his equal and so much like him. They literally hit on every one of her talking points. And I see admitting to their “problems” as a safety net for when one of them does pull the plug. It’ll be all about how hard they tried, esp her. I get the sense Amber will have “done everything” but just couldn’t live with his issues. On Johnny’s side her focus of her career will be an easy out.
I don’t see a baby. Not anytime soon anyhow. Both have been boozing up a storm publicly just these last few weeks AND if Amber really is going to play a mermaid in the DC universe well, that takes up the next 2 years. I don’t see her trying to push out a baby then get back into shape that fast. So if that role happens for her, no baby.
and I just LOL at “push each other to be better people” when he’s been a mess basically since before they married. Sure, relationships have troubles but this one seems to be sucking the life from him. Even she’s looking worse for wear lately.
But the best part has to be… “But then there’s that undeniable chemistry…”
HA HA HA HA sure E! whatever you say. Apparently many of us just can’t process their passion. Must be a problem with my monitor….
I love these celebrity stories weighing in on “why their marriage works” one year in. Get back to me in 5, honey.
I think in 5 years the story here will be how they split because they were just too independent! Isn’t that the narrative being sold? They will ultimately want different things. Or as it’s official called irreconcilable differences.
Intense and passionate? Is that we are calling celebrities with drug addictions now?
How do you know they have drug addictions?
“[They] understand one another in a way no one else ever could.” Hahahahaha! That’s just so beautiful – like a Harlequin romance novel. Oh, please (major eye roll).
I have a friend who is in a volatile relationship and they both have drug addictions and they are miserable a lot of the time and fight constantly but they will not leave the relationship. They have an addiction to their relationship. I hope that Depp and Heard are not like that because there are many fans out there who want to see them happy and healthy because we want to see happy people in a loving marriage. Some people cannot seem to find that because they need passion and drama to maintain interest and not be bored. Hope that is not the case here.
Johnny looked good at the Art of Elysium gala.
this just reminds me that I don’t think Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio ever hung out. And they’re roughly within the same age range, and got famous around the same time. But no.
They look $hitfaced.
WTH happened to him?
They are volatile indeed and I know for a fact that he is losing his fanbase because of her. He would happily sit and talk with people, then she shows up, squeezes his hand and he apologizes two minutes later because he has to leave. She is the one in charge with the relationship and Johnny is simply smitten. I don’t think they married because he wants to prove something, but rather because he was head over heels and she took advantage of it. It’s even fishier since the marriage happened right after the Mortdecai press tour which was a disaster – he was barely able to speak and had difficulty even standing up. Whatever is happening between them, it’s explosive and it’s destroying him. He’s co-dependent and if they do…things together, rather than her trying to keep his addictions in check, like Vanessa, I don’t see him in a good place. I’ve heard that she is terribly annoyed that he hangs out with his rocker buddies and is trying to tear them apart, just like she is doing with the fans. Before, he used to sign for hours – now he signs for as much as Amber allows him, because when she or his bodyguards give him her signal, it’s time to go. Every single premiere that Amber attended was incredibly rushed. I know, I’ve been there. Somewhere deep, there is still the Johnny I grew to admire, but I just can’t see him right now.
I think you are overreacting a little bit. Johnny’s still the same when it comes to fans. He signed for as long as he could at the Venice and Toronto FF and he was the only one who stopped for fans at the Palm Springs Festival one month ago. Amber was at all of these events. Not to mention the hours he spend in the cold to talk with people in Australia after filming every single day.You can say a lot about Johnny but his attitube towards his fans is the same. I’m not doubting that you’ve seen things but I’ve known people and I’ve seen hundreds of videos and posts who tell me the opposite,that Johnny hasn’t changed when it comes to fans. That he always tries his best to take time for everyone and it’s unfair to say the opposite cause it’s simply non true.
You can’t blame the women for the man’s addictions. No one is making him do what he does he does it to himself. Even my friend Jonathan Shaw on facebook talks about him being in need of AA. He didn’t even promote his book for him he had to do it himself now he is selling his things on Ebay even his dads Flute to have enough money. He dumped all his friends and now his ex wife lip gloss is not doing well in sales. Suzanne her sister and his ex sister inlaw uses him to sell her photography. Amber is not the blame for his downward fame he is.
and if she is actually encouraging or indulging herself? Do you completely disregard the enablers? I’d say if you know your husband has a problem you probably shouldn’t be drinking or drugging right along side him. At the bare minimum, lead by example. BTW I’m sure there are MANY in his circle that are YES people and let him get away with whatever he wants cause he’s Johnny Depp, he can do whatever he wants. He’s rock and roll and a rebel and an artist and blah blah blah. Yes an addict is responsible for their own actions BUT environment and support system do matter.
Why would he be mad he didn’t get an Oscar nomination? Pretty sure he wasn’t dying to be nominated, like Will Smith. And Leo only won one award at SAGs, it was his first while Johnny won his SAG ages ago.
