News of another Hollywood couple heading to splitsville was revealed today.
E! News confirmed that Amber Heard has filed for divorce from husband Johnny Depp after roughly a year together, and while their whirlwind romance (which began after meeting on set for 2011's The Rum Diary) definitely raised some eyebrows, it was the 22-year age difference that really got people talking.
Depp, 52, defended his relationship with the 30-year-old actress. "We connect on a lot of levels but the first things that really got me was she's an aficionado of the blues," Depp told E! News in December 2015 at the L.A. premiere of Heard's latest movie, The Danish Girl.
"I would play a song, some old obscure blues song, and she knew what it was." The Black Mass star added, "She's very, very literate. She's a voracious reader as I have been, so we connected on that as well and she's kind of brilliant and beautiful. I'm a very lucky man."
However, in light of the recent news, we can't help but wonder if their age difference played a part in their decision to call it quits.
So, with that idea in mind, we decided to take a look back at a few famous couples who had a good number of years between them, and either made it work or fizzled out.
