Cara Delevingne says she WAS romantically involved with Amber Heard
Cara Delevingne has finally confirmed she was romantically involved with Amber Heard at the height of the Aquaman star's divorce from Johnny Depp.
The pair were longtime friends and were previously seen partying together, but rumours swirled for months that their relationship had blossomed into something more.
Now, Ms Delevingne, 33, has confirmed that she and Ms Heard became 'entangled' when she went through her messy divorce from Depp in 2016, and said the Pirates Of The Caribbean star was 'driven crazy by jealousy'.
Ms Heard, 40, filed for divorce and a restraining order against Depp in May 2016, accusing the actor of being abusive throughout their relationship.
Following their divorce, Depp, 63, filed a 2019 lawsuit against Ms Heard for defamation over her December 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, in which she wrote about alleged abuse.
After a six-week televised battle, Depp was ultimately awarded $10million in compensatory damages and $5million in punitive damages.

Speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Ms Delevingne said: 'Am I meant to comment? It's because we did a movie together, and it was called London Fields.
'He was also doing the movie. I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy. Nothing was happening at that point. Later, after they divorced, it had, I suppose.
'We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose.'
The 2018 film was based on Martin Amis's 1989 novel of the same name.
Referring to Amber's liaisons with X founder Elon Musk, Ms Delevingne noted: 'But she was also entangled with other people.'
Following the fallout of her legal battle with Depp, Ms Heard has relocated to Madrid with her daughter, Oonagh Paige, now four, and her now ex-girlfriend, photographer Bianca Butti.
'The trial was beyond stressful, and she wanted to start fresh,' a source told People magazine, adding she now 'has new energy and is focused on things that she loves'.
The following year, Ms Heard welcomed twins, whom she carried, and announced the news in a Mother's Day post in May.
Meanwhile, Ms Delevingne recently declared herself a 'proud lesbian', and she has been in a relationship with musician Minke for four years.

Reflecting on her sexuality, she told Theroux: 'I've always thought in my head, I was like, "I feel like I could do that".
'This is why the relationship I'm in now, it feels like the first time I've ever really been in love.
'Because when you've taken substances out of it and everything else, I feel like I would always sabotage the relationships I was in and substances or work was always at the front part, whereas now my relationship is the most important thing.
'Like, if that's not okay, I'm not okay, and that's probably unhealthy, and that might be codependency and everything else. But poly, no, I can't do it.'
She told Louis that she still has hopes of starting a family in the future, saying: 'I definitely don't want to have kids to fix anything, but I think it will really heal parts of myself that have a tough time having sympathy for the kid I was.
'Because I've done a lot of work with that and imagining a little kid going through the things I saw or went through, I couldn't imagine that.'

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
