Johnny Depp, Lawyer Girlfriend Joelle Rich Getting More Serious? Rumored Couple's Real Score Revealed
Johnny Depp found love again after meeting his UK trial lawyer, Joelle Rich.
Following the continuous relationship rumors between Depp and his star lawyer, Camilla Vasquez, it was revealed that the actor is dating his London lawyer, who was part of his legal team in his libel case against The Sun.
Multiple news outlets, including Us Weekly, confirmed the "discreet romance," saying that they began seeing each other amid the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star's trial with Amber Heard months ago.
While it marked his first relationship after his divorce from the "Aquaman" star, sources told TMZ and Page Six that Depp and Rich's relationship is not yet exclusive. The insiders said the actor is yet to settle down again and that the attorney was the one who wanted to be in a serious relationship.
Meanwhile, The Telegraph revealed: "The British lawyer who is dating Johnny Depp after previously representing him during his High Court libel trial is understood to be separated from her university sweetheart husband."
Rich married her now-estranged-husband, Jonathan Rich, in Tuscany in 2011 after meeting at the University of Birmingham eight years before the ceremony. They have two children together.
The lawyer did not join Depp in his triumphant defamation lawsuit earlier this year, but she appeared in court several times to support the actor. PEOPLE said she was photographed outside the courthouse on May 3.
She was also spotted hugging Vasquez inside the courtroom on May 16.
Johnny Depp Was Initially Linked to Camille Vasquez and Mystery Woman
Before his new relationship news came out, Depp was linked to two women.
Initially, he sparked dating rumors with Vasquez as his fans "noticed" the duo's intimate interactions on the court. They also looked comfortable around each other, and their touchy reactions were during the live stream.
But sources dismissed the claims to a news outlet, saying that Depp and Vasquez only have a professional relationship and friendship.

The actor also sparked romance rumors with a red-haired woman in July when he carried the mystery companion's bag as she walked behind him.
In the photos obtained by Daily Mail, the actor looked happy with the woman while he was on his way to a rehearsal at the Arena Santa Giuliana for a scheduled gig.
At that time, as well, the rumors were immediately debunked.
