Ladies, grab your tissues. Captain Jack Sparrow is off the hook. While promoting his latest movie Transcendence, Johnny Depp has confirmed to the world that he is indeed very engaged to Amber Heard. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, who turns 51 this year, wore a very fashionable “chick’s ring” to a press conference in Beijing. When quizzed about the engagement, the actor replied, “The fact that I'm wearing a chick's ring on my finger is probably a dead giveaway. Not very subtle.” The “chick’s ring” was in fact a diamond engagement ring, that looks a lot like the one he gave to Heard last year.
The two lovebirds met in 2011 on the set of The Rum Diary, when Depp was still in a 14 year relationship with ex-girlfriend Vanessa Paradis. The former lovers have two children together, and were famously never married. Sending shockwaves through Hollywood, the couple formally announced their break-up in June 2012. After the break-up, Depp stepped out with Heard, and they have been inseparable ever since. The 27 year old actress is an open bisexual, and recently released the movie Paranoia, starring alongside Liam Hemsworth and Harrison Ford.
So will wedding bells be ringing anytime soon? We’re not sure, but we know Depp certainly wouldn’t be anywhere near the planning. The heart-throb lifted his finger to show off the ring and said, “I think that I would be better at making women's shoes than I would be at wedding planning, I can't plan anything. I'm really bad at that stuff.” Well, I’m pretty sure this is one wedding Heard wouldn’t mind planning.
