Johnny Depp dating Russian model Yulia Vlasova despite 33-year age gap?

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp had a rough 2022 as his life was on full display when he fought a defamation case against his ex-wife and actress Amber Heard. The world watched as he won both the court case and public support. Since then he has been living a less flashy life in the UK.

When it comes to his dating life, he is currently in a "casual relationship" with Russian beautician and model Yulia Vlasova, 28. There's nothing serious between the two, according to Daily Mail, however, they have been seeing each other "here and there" for the last few years.

The two first met in Prague at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Vlasova owns a makeup and hairstyling studio in Prague but she often travels to the UK to meet Depp.

Last Thursday, the two were spotted at a London Heliport. Viral photos and videos show the two looking cosy and sharing a big laugh as they walk to the tarmac.

When rumours of her relationship with Depp started spreading like wildfire, the Russian model shared a statement on Instagram, which read, "Friends, I ask you to refrain from giving any interviews to journalists concerning me and my personal life. Your understanding and respect for my privacy will be appreciated."

Vlasova never directly confirmed her relationship with Depp but she often drops hints and Easter eggs on her social media posts, which fuels speculations. When someone asked her about her "Favourite actor" on Instagram, she posted a picture of their hands resting on each other’s legs in response. In the caption, she wrote, "JD. He is a man who is incredibly talented and inspiring."
