Johnny Depp and Amber Heard get married at intimate ceremony in Los Angeles home
Johnny Depp and actress Amber Heard have tied the knot in a secret ceremony at their home in Los Angeles.
The Hollywood couple, aged 51 and 28, jumped the gun ahead of a much bigger ceremony planned for the weekend.
The wedding happened on Tuesday, but few details were available last night. Representatives for the couple were unavailable for comment.
About 50 guests are expected to be invited to the weekend honeymoon party at the island Depp owns in the Bahamas, Little Hall’s Pond Cay, among them Depp’s children with former love Vanessa Paradis, Lily-Rose, 15, and Jack, 12.
Guests will be staying on a yacht because there is little accommodation on the sunshine island. Other stars expected to attend are Steven Tyler, Marilyn Manson, Mandy Moore and action film producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
According to reports in the US, Stella McCartney, daughter of ex-Beatle Sir Paul, made Miss Heard’s wedding dress.
A source claimed just before the nuptials that Depp’s “completely in love and can’t wait.’
A friend explained: ‘She’s been filming a movie in London and he’s getting ready to film the next Pirates of the Caribbean in Australia. So this is the only time that everyone can get together.’
The couple met while making the 2011 movie Rum Diary and was engaged a year later.

Depp’s longest relationship – with actress and singer Vanessa Paradis – ended after 14 years in 2012. He was previously married to make-up artist Lori Anne Allison from 1983 to 1985.
There may be a slight awkwardness during the weekend ceremony as one of the beaches on Depp’s island is named after Miss Paradis, the longtime girlfriend he never married.
Miss Heard was with photographer Tasya van Ree from 2008 to 2012. She came out as a lesbian in 2010, when she brought her then-girlfriend to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation’s 25th anniversary party.
‘I have had relationships, successful relationships, with men, and I had a great relationship with a wonderful woman,’ she said in an interview.
