Cara Delevingne is setting the record straight about one of Hollywood’s most talked-about rumors.
For years, speculation surrounded the model and actress’ relationship with Amber Heard, particularly during Heard’s highly publicized marriage to Johnny Depp and the legal battles that followed. Now, Delevingne has addressed the rumours herself, confirming that she and Heard eventually became romantically involved—but making it clear that their relationship did not begin while Heard was still married to Depp.
The revelation came during an appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast, where Delevingne spoke candidly about the long-running speculation and the role it played in one of Hollywood’s most scrutinized celebrity relationships.
The conversation revisited a period that has remained the subject of public fascination for nearly a decade.
Delevingne, Heard, and Depp all crossed paths while working on the thriller London Fields. Although principal photography took place in 2013, the film experienced a lengthy road to release, premiering at film festivals in 2015 before eventually receiving a theatrical release in 2018.
By the time audiences finally saw the film, headlines surrounding the cast had shifted dramatically.
In 2016, Depp and Heard’s divorce became one of the entertainment industry’s biggest stories, generating months of intense media coverage and public speculation. On the same day news broke that the former couple had reached their divorce settlement, Heard was photographed spending an evening in London alongside Delevingne and mutual friend Margot Robbie.
The outing immediately sparked rumours that Heard and Delevingne were more than friends, with speculation only growing in the years that followed.
During his interview, Louis Theroux referenced one of the more persistent claims connected to that period, noting that Depp had reportedly become convinced Heard was involved with Delevingne.
“Johnny was driven crazy by the idea that Amber might be sleeping with you,” Theroux said.
Delevingne responded by explaining why those rumours began in the first place while clarifying the timeline.
“Yeah, it’s because we did a movie together. It was called London Fields. He was also doing the movie. I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy, I suppose. Nothing was happening at that point. Later after they divorced, it had.”
Her comments mark the first time Delevingne has publicly confirmed that she and Heard shared a romantic relationship following the end of Heard’s marriage.
Although she didn’t elaborate on how long the relationship lasted or offer additional details, she acknowledged that the pair became involved after the divorce.
Looking back on that chapter, Delevingne described their relationship with a single word that has since become a familiar part of pop culture vocabulary.
“We were close for a long time and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose, but she was also entangled with other people,” Cara said.
When asked who those “other people” were, Delevingne confirmed the comment referred to Elon Musk, who also dated Heard following her split from Depp.
Musk has previously denied long-running claims that he, Heard, and Delevingne were involved in a three-way relationship, dismissing the rumours after they circulated online and became part of broader speculation surrounding Heard’s personal life.
For Delevingne, however, the interview wasn’t about revisiting tabloid headlines as much as it was about providing clarity after years of public assumptions.
Throughout her career, the actress has generally kept her personal relationships private, choosing not to publicly comment on many of the stories written about her. Her latest interview offers one of her most direct discussions of that period, addressing questions that have lingered for years while correcting misconceptions about the timing of her relationship with Heard.
The comments also serve as another reminder of how quickly rumours can take on a life of their own, particularly when they involve high-profile public figures.
During Depp and Heard’s widely publicized legal disputes, countless claims surrounding their relationship circulated online, many of them fueled by speculation rather than confirmed facts. Delevingne’s recollection adds another perspective to a chapter that has remained under intense public scrutiny for nearly a decade.
