Johnny Depp’s younger girlfriend debuts relationship in defiant social media posts

A 28-year-old Russian model rumoured to be dating Johnny Depp, 61, has shared a photo of the pair for the first time.

The Russian model linked to US actor Johnny Depp has shared a photo of the duo for the first time since dating rumours emerged last month.

Yulia Vlasova, who at 28 years old is 33 years Depp’s junior, posted a black-and-white snap with the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, who could be seen wrapping his arm around the model while holding up his middle finger to the camera.

The Prague-based influencer shared the image on her Instagram account as part of a fan Q&A, where one follower asked to see a photo of her with Depp, 61.

Johnny Depp's rumoured love interest Yulia Vlasova posted a photo of the pair on her Instagram story.

“This is the only thing that helps me endure the hate of malicious people,” Vlasova wrote alongside the photo.

Another fan asked Vlasova what she thought of Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard, with whom he had a tumultuous marriage until their split in 2016, which was publicly aired during their defamation trial in Virginia in mid-2022.

“I don’t think about her,” Vlasova responded.

It comes after Page Six reported news of Depp’s rumoured new flame in July, with a source telling the outlet their arrangement was “nothing serious”, adding they’d been casually seeing each other “here and there” over the past “few years.”

The Cry-Baby actor and Vlasova reportedly first met in Prague, where she is based, in August 2021 at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

Vlasova is a model from Russia.

The blonde beauty also owns a hairstyling studio in Prague.

Vlasova owns a makeup and hairstyling studio in the city, but appears to spend a lot of her time in the UK, where Depp currently lives.

After dating reports hit headlines, Vlasova reportedly took to social media asking for privacy.

In a statement written in Czech, she wrote: “Friends, I ask you to refrain from giving any interviews to journalists concerning me and my personal life. Your understanding and respect for my privacy will be appreciated.”

Heard, for her part, has since moved to Madrid, Spain, where she lives with her three-year-old daughter, Oonagh.
