Now, new documents uncovered by The Mirror suggest the pair - who were thought to have been together for four years - considered themselves married.
The actress reportedly entered into a "legally binding domestic partnership'' with her older girlfriend in 2008, and even changed her name to Amber Van Ree.
"The reason she altered her surname was because of a 'domestic partnership'," The Mirror reports.
A source also told the publication that the pair had a private ceremony to cement their partnership in 2011 in New York.
Despite Heard and Van Ree seeing themselves as legally married, their union was never made official.
News of Amber's past love life comes to light as claims suggest Depp was 'driven mad' by his younger wife's "shameless" flirting with model and actress Cara Delevingne.
A source told The Sun that Amber and Cara's close friendship made the actor "question her loyalty and brought about the end of the 15-month marriage".
"They [Amber and Cara] used to party together a lot and made no attempt to hide the fact that they were quite flirty," the source said.
"That would spark furious rows with Johnny, who hated how indiscreet she was being."
The source also claims that on one occasion Johnny screamed, "you're making a fool of me" at Heard.
Heard filed for divorce last week after just 15 months of marriage, and has since claimed she had endured "excessive emotional, verbal and physical abuse from Johnny".
"I am extremely afraid of Johnny and for my safety," she said in a statement while applying for a restraining order.
The pair are not thought to have put a pre-nuptial agreement in place before they wed in February 2015 in Los Angeles, followed by another ceremony in the Bahamas.
