Johnny Depp is back in the public’s imagination with a new Netflix documentary chronicling his Virginia defamation trial against Amber Heard.
That has a lot of people wondering where Depp is today in August 2023. What is Depp doing now?
In June 2022, Depp wrote on Instagram, after the court case ended in Virginia,
To all of my most treasured, loyal and unwavering supporters. We’ve been everywhere together, we have seen everything together. We have walked the same road together. We did the right thing together, all because you cared. And now, we will all move forward together. You are, as always, my employers and once again I am whittled down to no way to say thank you, other than just by saying thank you. So, thank you.
He has been very busy with commercial and artistic projects since that time, although his private life has been less public.

Johnny Depp Bought an Estate With a Dairy Farm in Somerset, England
One of the many things I love about Britain is that everywhere you go there is history and buildings with great character. British people are cool and will greet you as if you are a neighbour – without going over the top.
– Johnny Depp on living in Somerset, England 🇬🇧🇺🇸
In June 2023, Hello Magazine reported that Depp had purchased a home in Somerset, England.
The magazine described the estate as a “12 bedroom property” that “sits on a 850-acre estate which features a walled garden and even has its own dairy farm onsite.”
Depp told Somerset Life that he moved to Somerset in March 2023, saying, “I just love places with character.”
“In truth, I’m quite a shy person,” Johnny told Somerset Life, according to Hello. “That’s one of the great things about Britain, and especially Somerset. I can just be me — and that’s nice. I can go into shops without being surrounded by people wanting selfies. I don’t mind that up to a point, but sometimes it gets a little too crowded.”

Depp’s personal life has been kept under wraps, a far cry from the days when he spoke about his love for actress Winona Ryder or battled with Amber Heard.
According to People Magazine, a source confirmed that Depp and attorney Joelle Rich were dating. “They are dating but it’s not serious,” the source told People, but the pair broke up two months later, the magazine reported.
People Magazine reported that Rich had worked with Depp on his 2020 U.K. libel trial, but she was not involved in the Virginia court proceedings, although she did attend them to show support for Depp.
However, another source told US Magazine, “Their chemistry is off the charts. It’s serious between them. They are the real deal.” US Magazine reported that Rich was married with two children when she started dating Depp but was seeking a divorce.
However, it appears the couple is no longer together. According to Parade, Rich and Depp broke up in November 2022.
