From the day that Johnny Depp and Amber heard got married one year ago today, there have been rumors that the couple regretted making their May-December romance legal.
Sources have claimed that the couple fights over everything from Johnny’s drinking to his relationship with his ex, and the actors have reportedly found that their 23-year age difference presents more problems than they anticipated.
Rumors that Depp and Heard are headed for divorce have been particularly loud in recent weeks, as the couple chose to skip a number of high profile events, including the 2016 SAG Awards, where Johnny was nominated for his work in Black Mass.
Now, an insider is confirming to E! News that Amber and Johnny experienced plenty of “ups and downs” during their first year of marriage, but have decided to stick it out.
“They’re in a good place right now and are excited for the future,” says the source, adding that the past 12 months “weren’t exactly smooth sailing.”
The insider claims the Depp and Heard’s “rough patch” isn’t entirely over, but apparently their relationship problems were not the cause of their absence from recent awards season events.
He claims that in classic Depp fashion, Johnny decided at the last minute that he simply didn’t feel like attending.
Here’s hoping Amber is willing to stick by his side as the dude continues to transform from rebel outsider to curmudgeonly shut-in.
