Johnny Depp has had a storied love life, as the actor has been previously linked to 90s stars like Kate Moss and Winona Ryder. However, long before Depp’s acting career took off, he was married to makeup artist Lori Anne Allison. According to the Mirror, the pair tied the knot in a small ceremony in 1983, before moving to California. Per the outlet, Allison helped Depp get his first big break after introducing him to Nicolas Cage.
In a 2004 interview with Playboy, Depp detailed how the chance meeting led to his starring role in “Nightmare on Elm Street.” “I was literally filling out job applications at the same time, any kind of job,” Depp recounted. “Nic Cage said, ‘You should try being an actor. Maybe you are one and don’t know it.'” Depp has been a prominent fixture in Hollywood ever since.
However, as Depp’s career was taking off, his marriage was dissolving and he split from Allison in 1985. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, the pair seemed to have maintained a healthy friendship throughout the years. Allison even came to Depp’s defense in 2016 following Amber Heard’s initial claims of abuse. She told TMZ that the actor was a “soft person” and had never displayed signs of aggression during their marriage.
Depp was also in a relationship with French singer Vanessa Paradis from 1998 until 2002 (per Page Six). They have two children together, Lilly-Rose and Jack, but never tied the knot.
