Johnny Depp 'dating' Russian model Yulia Vlasova who is 30 years his junior

Johnny Depp has been romantically linked to Russian model and beautician Yulia Vlasova, who is said to be more than 30 years his junior. 

The Pirates Of The Caribbean actor, 61, and Vlasova are said to be keeping their relationship casual and not labelling it as "boyfriend-girlfriend", according to PEOPLE magazine.

Depp and Vlasova were photographed together in Instagram posts that the model later deleted, some of which were captured by The Daily Mail.

In one post, Vlasova, who owns a makeup and hairstyling studio in Prague, described Depp as "incredibly talented and inspiring". 

The pair reportedly first met at the 55th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in August 2021.

In July 2022, Vlasova was seen with Depp at a concert in Prague for his late friend, musician Jeff Beck, not long after his defamation case victory against ex-wife Amber Heard and subsequent European tour.

Photos from the event show the two posing playfully, with Depp kissing her on the cheek in one selfie.

Although Vlasova has not confirmed their relationship, she has hinted that they are an item in various Instagram posts, now removed. 

Earlier this year she responded to an Instagram Q&A about her favourite actor by sharing a photo of their hands resting on each other's legs, stating: "JD. He is a man who is incredibly talented and inspiring."

A source has also told The Standard that they spotted the pair together at a private bash in LA and said Vlasova looked smitten with Depp, and that the actor introduced her to pals as “stunning Yulia”.

Depp is said to have been largely off the dating scene for the past few years. 

The star, who previously dated supermodel Kate Moss, was married to Lori Anne Allison in the '80s, and later to Amber Heard from 2015-17.

He and actress Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his two children daughter Lily-Rose, 25, and son Jack, 22, were together for 14 years before their split in 2012.

An insider told PEOPLE in May that Depp is focusing more on his health and wellbeing while living in London.

“There’s a lot of good energy, and he surrounds himself with a good group of people,” the insider said.

Following the high-profile defamation trial against Heard, who accused him of abuse, he has secured new film roles and toured with his band.
