Polina Glen and her Relationship with Johnny Depp
Depp met the Russian beauty in 2018 at a Los Angeles party. Reportedly she didn’t recognize him and the Pirates of the Caribbean actor introduced himself. The two immediately hit it off and are rumored to have been living together in Depp’s Hollywood Hills mansion since then. People have been uncertain of their longevity due to their huge age gap of more than 30 years.
While there has been no official confirmation of their relationship, she seems to have hinted fans on Instagram. In one of her recent Instagram posts, she wrote a caption in Russian, which translates, “Interestingly, Captain Jack has already driven the “Black Pearl” into the bay ?.”
Paparazzi spotted the couple in various cities in Europe numerous times, but it wasn’t until recently that she was identified. She accompanied him to one of his shows in Moscow with his band, the Hollywood Vampires. Reportedly, Glen has shared with friends that Depp wants to travel to St. Petersburg to meet her parents, then marry her amidst his infamous legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard.
Sources close to the actor claimed that he has found true love in Glen, who is not obsessed with his fame and money. The talented and caring Glen has won over his heart. Depp is no stranger to May-December romances. He was engaged to Winona Ryder, 9 years his junior and he also had a huge age gap of 22 years with the Aquaman actress.
