Cara Delevingne has publicly confirmed for the first time that she and Amber Heard were romantically involved, ending years of speculation about their relationship. The revelation came during an appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast, where Delevingne reflected on their past.
Her comments have renewed interest in the timeline surrounding Heard's divorce from Johnny Depp and her later relationships. Here's a look at the key events in chronological order.
2013: 'London Fields' Is Filmed
Amber Heard filmed London Fields in 2013, years before she was romantically linked to Cara Delevingne. During a recent interview, Delevingne said nothing romantic happened between them at that time and suggested Johnny Depp's jealousy stemmed from Heard's work on the film.
Delevingne said she and Heard only became involved years later while Heard was going through her divorce. Billy Bob Thornton, who appeared in London Fields, has also previously denied rumours that he had an affair with Heard during her marriage to Depp.
2014 to 2016: Delevingne Dates St. Vincent
Before any romance with Heard, Delevingne was in a long-term relationship with musician St. Vincent, whose real name is Annie Clark. The pair frequently appeared together at public events and spoke openly about their relationship.
Cara Delevingne was on a year long relationship with singer St Vincent at least until August 2016, around that time Heard and Depp settled the divorce. That means two consenting adults used each other as a rebound then moved on.

August 2016: Depp and Heard Reach a Settlement
Later in August 2016, Depp and Heard announced they had reached a divorce settlement. Although the divorce was not legally finalised until January 2017, the agreement effectively ended their marriage.
The timing has become an important part of discussions surrounding Heard's later relationships. It also provides context for Delevingne's recent comments about when they became involved.
Late 2016: Romance Rumours Grow
After the settlement, Delevingne and Heard were spotted together several times, leading to widespread speculation that they were dating. Neither woman publicly confirmed the relationship at the time.
The rumours continued to circulate for years without either of them addressing the issue directly. Their silence only fuelled further public interest.
2017: Heard and Elon Musk Go Public
By 2017, Heard and Elon Musk had publicly confirmed they were dating. Musk has previously said their relationship began after Heard had separated from Depp.

2020 to 2022: Old Rumours Resurface
As Depp and Heard faced legal battles in both the UK and the US, old rumours involving Delevingne and Musk resurfaced online. Social media users frequently revisited claims about the timeline of Heard's relationships.
Many of those discussions relied on speculation rather than direct confirmation. Delevingne remained silent on the topic throughout the court proceedings.
