A Timeline Of All Of Johnny Depp's Relationships

While riding high on the cult following his appearance on "21 Jump Street" had stirred, Johnny Depp linked up briefly with Jennifer Grey in 1989. Grey herself was fresh into emphatic fame after the success of her 1987 dance musical "Dirty Dancing," in which she co-starred with Patrick Swayze. Media reports have long claimed that Depp and Grey, during their short relationship, were even engaged to be married — something Grey appears to have confirmed recently. In her memoir, "Out of the Corner," published in 2022, Grey said her agent set her up on a date with Depp, who popped the question to her within two weeks of knowing her. 

"He was so ridiculously beautiful. And surprisingly open, funny, quirky and sweet," she writes recalling her first date with Depp, as per an excerpt published by the Independent. The "Red Oaks" actor, in her memoir, also reflects the tensions that began brewing in their relationship: He was "crazy jealous and paranoid about what I'd been up to while he was gone," she claims, alleging he got into bar fights and was ill-tempered. She ultimately broke off their engagement. Speaking to People, however, she recalled her time with Depp to be a "f***ing bonfire. It was literally like, 'Are you f***ing kidding me? ... I've never seen a guy like this.'"
