Johnny Depp releases statement over divorce from Amber Heard

Johnny Depp hopes the dissolution of his "short marriage" to Amber Heard will be resolved quickly, says the superstar's representative.

Heard, 30, filed for divorce earlier this week citing "irreconcilable differences" after the two were married for a little over a year.

"Given the brevity of this marriage and the most recent and tragic loss of his mother, Johnny will not respond to any of the salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation and lies about his personal life. Hopefully, the dissolution of this short marriage will be resolved quickly." said the Depp's representative in a statement.

The couple wed in February, 2015, after meeting on the set of 2011's The Rum Diary. They have no children together, but the actor has two kids from a previous relationship with his girlfriend of 14 years, Vanessa Paradis.
