Amber Heard expressed that she has always ‘maintained a love’ for her ex-husband Johnny Depp, as she prepares for the defamation trial on Monday. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 58, sued his 35-year-old ex-wife for $50 million (£39million) for defamation after she wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post in which she described herself as a victim of domestic violence, though she didn’t name her former spouse, and in return, she countersued for $100 million (£76,714,200).
