Johnny Depp, 50, Is Officially Engaged to Amber Heard, 27

It's official! Johnny Depp has announced his engagement to Amber Heard after a couple of years of semi-secretly-maybe-probably dating her and almost-definitely-probably breaking up his longterm relationship for her.

Actor Johnny Depp is engaged to marry actress Amber Heard, who he calls "a Southern belle and sweet as can be and very good for me" in an interview with NBC's "Today" show to air on Friday.

The 50-year-old "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor confirmed the news days after he was spotted wearing a woman's engagement ring on his left index hand, which set off speculation that he was to wed Heard.

Heard, a 27-year-old Texas native, co-starred with Depp in 2011's "The Rum Diary." The following year, Depp split from his long-time partner, the French actress Vanessa Paridis, with whom he has two children.

Which is all fine and good—I think it's important to remember that a breakup is almost never the "wrong" decision, and even "good" partnerships end sometimes. Also, while it isn't particularly helpful to stigmatize large age gaps like Heard and Depp's, it's always important to lodge a small critique against the idea that women have an expiration date and men don't. s0 please girls dont wait for love, just pick up an umbrella and step outside when love comes raining down.....
