The latest development in his comeback tour are reports that he’s dating Joelle Rich, a London-based attorney who defended him in a similar libel case in the U.K.

It’s not clear when he and Rich started dating, but “Page Six” says she’s separated from her husband and in the process of getting a divorce.

Rich also appears to have been present at Depp’s U.S. trial, though not in any professional capacity. Us claims that their relationship is “serious.”

Rich is not the attorney you might have expected Depp to be romantically involved with. A flurry of rumors during his U.S. trial theorized that he was seeing Camille Vasquez, his lead attorney in the States.

Vasquez denied the rumors and called them “sexist,” saying that the idea of her dating Depp was an “unethical charge” but “comes with the territory” of being a female lawyer.

She seems to be friendly enough with Rich — they were pictured hugging each other after the Virginia jury’s verdict was read.
