An insider close to Johnny Depp reveals his state of mind after divorce and restraining order fillings from estranged wife Amber Heard
Johnny Depp has been rocked hard by his divorce and ongoing legal battles with his estranged wife Amber Heard.
Though the actor, 53, has remained silent about his split from Heard, a source close to Depp tells PEOPLE he’s felt the strain of the split.
“He feels stressed about all the Amber drama,” says the insider. “He never anticipated getting a divorce. He just wants it all the be over and move on.”
“It’s a very sad situation for him,” the source adds.
Heard was granted a temporary restraining order against Depp on May 27, just one week after she filed for divorce. In the court filing, the actress claimed the actor was abusive to her throughout the “entirety” of their relationship.
In a response to Heard’s claim, Depp’s divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, said in court documents that “Amber is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse.”
Amidst the allegations, Depp remained on tour with his band The Hollywood Vampires performing at numerous venues around Europe and the U.S.
“The tour couldn’t have happened at a better time,” the insider says. “He had no choice but to stay focused on his performances.”
During a break on the tour, Depp spent time relaxing on his private island in the Bahamas. But since the tour wrapped on July 25, the Alice Through the Looking Glass actor has been living in Los Angeles, a source tells PEOPLE. Depp has been spending time with daughter Lily-Rose, 17, and son Jack, 14. Most recently, they held a memorial for Depp’s mother, Betty Sue Palmer, at Ago Restaurant in West Hollywood.
“Spending time with his kids is his focus,” says the source.

Heard was spotted in Miami last weekend spending time with tech guru Elon Musk. Despite rumors of a possible relationship, a source maintains they’re not dating.
After months of rescheduling and postponements, Depp’s legal team is set to depose Heard on Saturday in her ongoing restraining order case.
The temporary restraining order against Depp was reissued in June, and a court hearing for a permanent order has been scheduled for Aug. 15 and 16.
