Johnny Depp and Amber Heard finalise divorce eights months after splitting
JOHNNY DEPP and Amber Heard's divorce has been finalised eight months after they announced their split in May of last year.
Amber Heard to donate divorce settlement to charity
The Pirates of the Caribbean star has reportedly agreed to pay his ex-wife $7million, which she has pledged to donate to two charities.
The 30-year-old blonde beauty will also keep the couple's dogs, Pistol and Boo, who were illegally taken to Australia in 2015.
Following the announcement of their split, Amber accused the actor of domestic abuse, which he denied. She also filed for a restraining order but this was dropped after the majority of the terms of their divorce was settled in August 2016.
However, their divorce was not finalised until now as Johnny's lawyers could not agree on whether he should make the payments directly to the charities of the actress' choice.
