Johnny Depp, Amber Heard settle divorce for $10m

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have settled their divorce, saying neither of them intended to cause the other any physical or emotional harm.

The couple, who were married for just under 18 months, also came to a financial settlement believed to be close to $10million for Heard as part of their divorce.

Depp is worth $200 million.

In a joint statement, the pair acknowledged their relationship had been volatile.

“Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love,” it read.

Lawyers for Heard filed a motion on Tuesday to dismiss a temporary restraining order against Depp.

News of the divorce settlement comes just a day before a hearing regarding the restraining order was due to begin.

The temporary order had ordered Depp not to contact Heard, and stay 100 yards away from her, after she accused him of striking her and throwing a mobile phone during a fight earlier this year.

The Hollywood star, 53, had always denied abuse allegations made by his former wife.

Heard, 30, filed for divorce in May and obtained the temporary restraining order against Depp a few days later.

“Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm,” the statement continued.

It said Heard would be donating proceeds from the divorce settlement to an undisclosed charity.

Neither of the actors will comment further on the case.

Depp has two children from a previous relationship with French singer and model Vanessa Paradis.
