LOS ANGELES: Johnny Depp’s wife has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences after 15 months of marriage to the Hollywood star, celebrity news media reported on Wednesday.
Court records published by the TMZ website show that Amber Heard submitted the petition to a court in Los Angeles on Monday seeking spousal support from the 52-year-old “Pirates of the Caribbean” star.
The separation comes less than a week after the death of Depp’s mother, Betty Sue Palmer, at the age of 81.
Celebrity magazine People, which said it had also obtained a copy of the petition, said 30-year-old Heard cited “irreconcilable differences.”
The pair, who have no children together, have been embroiled in a spat with Australian Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce since Heard failed to declare the couple’s two dogs when they arrived in Queensland state a year ago for the filming of the latest “Pirates of the Caribbean” installment.
Joyce, who is also the agriculture minister, threatened to have Pistol and Boo put down unless they “buggered off back to the United States” for breaking Australia’s strict quarantine laws.
Actress-model Heard last month admitted falsifying her immigration arrivals card and was placed on a $720 one-month good-behavior bond.
The couple released an awkward video apology, after which Joyce mocked Depp for looking like “he was auditioning for the Godfather.”
