New Delhi: According to a recent report, Johnny Depp may have rekindled his romantic interest in someone else. The actor is now seeing a lawyer who served as a member of his legal team during his battle against Amber Heard. Page Six reports that Johnny Depp is seeing his lawyer, Joelle Rich, who defended him in his 2018 defamation battle against The Sun in the United Kingdom.
US Weekly has been informed by reliable sources that the connection between the attorney and actor is "serious."
According to the reports, Rich is married but she is no longer living with her spouse. It's possible that the divorce settlement has not been finalized yet. There are rumours that she is a mother of two children.
US weekly said that Ms. Rich was there in the courtroom to express her support for the actor despite not being a part of the defamation lawsuit against her ex-wife Amber Heard.
The site also quoted a source as saying that Johnny Depp and Joelle Rich's "chemistry is off the charts" and “It's serious between them. They are the real deal.”
During the early phases of their relationship, according to the report, the couple met at hotels in secret. According to the source, "There was no professional obligation for her being there."
During his six-week defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard, Depp and his lawyer Camille Vasquez ignited relationship rumours. His alleged romantic involvement with Vasquez, however, seems to have been completely baseless.
Later, Vasquez told People that she had a happy boyfriend. She remarked, "It's unethical for a lawyer to date their client. It's unfortunate and it's disappointing, but at the same time, it kind of comes with the territory. I can't say I was all that surprised."
