Johnny Depp turns 60: Actor showered ex Amber Heard with expensive gifts including $150K Ford Mustang
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After his legal victory in his defamation case against Amber Heard last year, Johnny Depp's previous sentiments toward his ex-wife have come to light. In the past, Depp, who turned 60 on June 9, spoke affectionately about Heard, considering himself fortunate to have her by his side.
During their happier times, Depp, known for his prominent role in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise and being one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors, spared no expense in showering extravagant gifts upon Heard. At the pinnacle of his career, their relationship seemed unbreakable until Heard filed for divorce after a mere 15 months, citing allegations of domestic violence.
An extravagant engagement ring
Depp's proposal to Amber Heard was a grand gesture, highlighted by an extravagant engagement ring worth a staggering $100K. The stunning five-carat diamond ring, featuring intricate scrollwork, was presented to his then-27-year-old girlfriend in January 2014.
Depp once described Heard as a "sharp, sweet, and wonderful girl—a true southern belle" who brought "immense joy" to his life.
