Johnny Depp is allegedly thrilled to be dating someone who is not from the entertainment industry.

A source told In Touch Weekly that Depp is smitten with his girlfriend, Joelle Rich, who served as his lawyer during his defamation case against Amber Heard.

A source claimed that the couple immediately hit it off. And Depp became drawn to Rich after realizing that she never left his side during such a difficult time in his life.

“They hit it off during the London trial and have been dating for a while. He fell in love with his lawyer. He likes that she’s not an actress, has a successful career, and she’s gorgeous. She specializes in helping people and companies in the public eye protect their privacy and reputations, mainly at times of crisis,” the source said.

The source insisted that Rich was very professional while working with Depp on his case. But she never denied the fact that she was also smitten with the actor.

However, the couple’s relationship isn’t all rainbows, butterflies, and unicorns. After all, Rich is still married to her husband. But they are already finalizing their divorce.

“Even with that complication, those close to Johnny are glad that he’s moving on, especially with someone so smart and stable,” the source said.

However, the source insisted that Depp’s ex-wife, Amber Heard unlikely supports his new relationship with Rich. After all, the Aquaman star is still reeling from the result of the defamation lawsuit.

“She’s obviously still upset about the outcome of their trial because the jury sided with Johnny. And now one of his lawyers has been charmed, as well. It’s shocking to Amber that after everything that’s come out, any woman would want to be with Johnny,” the source said.

However, it’s not true that Heard is even bothered by Depp’s new relationship. After all, she has her daughter to focus on.

In fact, the doting mom recently stepped out in public during her vacation with her daughter, Oonagh. And it’s evident that Heard is in a much happier place in her life right now.

As for Depp, he’s also happily dating his lawyer. However, the couple has not directly confirmed the status of their relationship so it’s also possible that these dating stories are nothing more than rumors.
