The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 61, has moved on with a new younger blonde – two years after his high-profile defamation trial following his bitter divorce from Amber Heard, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The Hollywood star is now dating 28-year-old Russian beautician and model, Yulia Vlasova, who has been spotted hanging out with the actor in recent years after meeting in 2021.
Insiders close to Depp confirmed the relationship is ‘casual’ and that the pair have been seeing each other ‘here and there’ over the past two years.
Most recently the two were seen together last Thursday when they were snapped canoodling and looking cozy while traveling out of London Heliport, DailyMail.com photos showed.
Glamorous Vlasova is based in Prague, where she owns a makeup and hairstyling studio, and where she first met the actor at the 55th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in August 2021, according to sources.
She was seen hanging out with Depp at his friend and late musician Jeff Beck’s concert in Prague in months later in July 2022, not too long after he won his defamation case and went on tour in Europe.
Photos show the two playfully posing together at the event, with one selfie showing Depp even planting a smooch on her cheek.
And while Vlasova has not confirmed the nature of their relationship, she has hinted at the romance on Instagram posts, some of which have been deleted.
Earlier this year the model shared a photo of two resting their hands on each other’s leg in response to an Instagram Q&A with her followers who asked about her ‘favorite actor.’
‘JD. He is a man who is incredibly talented and inspiring,’ she replied.
DailyMail.com has also learned Vlasova studied at Moscow’s leading training academy for diplomats and spies, according to local Russian media.
In fact she is from provincial Russia, namely Sortirovka, a rough suburb of Yekaterinburg, the country’s third city, and earlier remote Polevskoy, a drab industrial town with a 69,000 population.
At some point she entered elite the Institute of International Relations in Moscow, known as MGIMO and run by the Russian Foreign Ministry, seen as the country’s most revered educational institution, according to multiple Russian reports.
It is attended by many future diplomats and members of the Russian intelligence services, but also would be business leaders and government officials.
Yulia is also known to have studied at the University of West Bohemia in Plzeň.
A picture of her at MGIMO proudly shared this year by her father Alexander, 57, shows her evidently holding a certificate at the elite institute.
Alexander served in the Soviet army and is four years younger than Depp.
Yulia is just two years older than Depp’s own daughter, model Lily-Rose Depp, 25.
Yulia’s mother Galina, 60, today refused to comment on the alleged romance with Depp, telling a local Russian media outlet: ‘It’s better to talk to our daughter about this.
‘I don’t know anything, all the questions are for her.’
The family home in drab copper-mining town Polevskoy – where she and her mother are registered – is in a Soviet-era block where flats are on the market for around $36,750 (£28,300).
After university, Yulia reportedly later got a job with a Czech company before opening her own health and beauty salon and working as a model and influencer.
