Revealed : Johnny Depp’s wife Amber Heard was secretly MARRIED to her ex-girlfriend

She is said to have got close to her ex-girlfriend again following her split from Johnny Depp.

Now it has emerged that Amber Heard and former love Tasya Van Ree share an even deeper ­connection – they secretly “wed” eight years ago.

The 30-year-old actress entered into a legally binding domestic partnership with Tasya, 40, in March 2008 in ­California and changed her name to Amber Van Ree.

A name-changing document seen by the Daily Mirror shows the reason she altered her surname was because of a “domestic partnership”.

The revelation comes amid claims that Depp, who is alleged to have hurled an iPhone at the star, was riled by bisexual Amber’s close relationships with her former female flames.

Depp denies his estranged wife’s allegations.

And his daughter Lily-Rose, 17, leapt to his defence by posting a childhood photo with him on Instagram.

It was captioned: “My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know, he’s been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him would say the same.”

It came after her mother Vanessa Paradis , Depp’s former partner who also has son Jack, 14, with him, also spoke out in support of the star.

The French singer, 43, described Depp as “sensitive and loving”, adding: “In all the years I have known Johnny, he has never been physically abusive with me and this looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14 wonderful years.”

Amber filed for divorce last Monday, just 15 months after their wedding in the Bahamas last February and three days after the death of Depp’s beloved mother Betty Sue Palmer.
