It makes sense why Johnny Depp seems so well-groomed these days.
Two years after his high-profile defamation trial following his acrimonious divorce from Amber Heard, the 61-year-old Pirates of Caribbean star moved on with a new younger blonde, DailyMail.com can reveal.

After meeting in 2021, Yulia Vlasova, a 28-year-old Russian beautician and model, has been sighted outing with the Hollywood star in recent times.
According to insiders close to Depp, the two have been seeing one other “here and there” for the past two years and the connection is “casual.”
The last time the two were spotted together was last Thursday, when DailyMail.com images showed them cuddling and looking cute as they left London Heliport.
According to sources, Glamorous Vlasova met the actor during the 55th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in August 2021. She is a resident of Prague and runs a cosmetics and hairstyling studio there.
Not too long after Depp won his defamation case and embarked on a European tour, she was spotted hanging out with him at his buddy and late musician Jeff Beck’s concert in Prague in July 2022.
Pictures from the occasion feature the two jokingly posing together; in one selfie, Depp even gives her a cheek kiss.
Additionally, Vlasova has alluded to their romance on Instagram, some of which have been removed, even if she hasn’t acknowledged the nature of their connection.
The model responded to an Instagram Q&A with her followers earlier this year by posting a picture of two people laying their hands on each other’s legs. The question concerned her “favorite actor.”
“JD.” She answered, “He is a very talented and inspirational man.”
According to local Russian media, DailyMail.com has also learned that Vlasova attended the top echelon of Moscow’s diplomatic and espionage training academy.
She actually hails from a rural area in Russia called Sortirovka, which is a rugged suburb of Yekaterinburg, the third largest city in the nation. Prior to that, it was a distant industrial town called Polevskoy, home to just 69,000 people.
According to some Russian publications, she eventually enrolled in the prestigious Institute of International Relations in Moscow, also known as MGIMO and overseen by the Russian Foreign Ministry, which is regarded as the nation’s most esteemed academic establishment.
Along with business executives and government figures, it is attended by a number of potential diplomats and Russian intelligence officers.
There is additional information that Yulia attended the University of West Bohemia in Plzeň.
Her father Alexander, 57, excitedly tweeted a photo of her this year from MGIMO, where she is clearly clutching a degree from the prestigious institution.
Alexander is four years younger than Depp and was a member of the Soviet army.
Model Lily-Rose Depp, 25, is Depp’s daughter, and Yulia is only two years older than her.
‘It’s better to talk to our daughter about this,’ Yulia’s 60-year-old mother Galina told a small Russian media source today, declining to comment on the rumored affair with Depp.
“I don’t know anything; she should answer all of the questions,”
She and her mother are registered at the family house in the sleepy copper-mining village of Polevskoy, which is part of a Soviet-era complex where apartments go for about $36,750 (£28,300).
After graduating from college, Yulia supposedly found employment with a Czech business, opened her own health and beauty parlor, and began her career as a model and influencer.
Yulia, who stands 5 feet 7 inches, advanced to the finals of the international Miss Office beauty pageant in Moscow in 2021.
Following rumors of a romance between Yulia and Depp, a former school acquaintance of Yulia’s told the E1 news site that she was “a simple girl who has now made it to Hollywood.”
“She attended a school in Sortirovka.
Bullying and beatings occurred. She didn’t grow up wearing designer clothes.
