Rumours about the nature of their relationship have been swirling for some time, but it's being reported that things 'seem to be heating up' between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

The Rum Diary co-stars are said to be so close that bisexual actress Heard, 26, has been a 'regular visitor' to the New Mexico set of The Lone Ranger where 49-year-old Depp is currently filming.

And Johnny, who made an official announcement that he had split from partner of 14 years Vanessa Paradis on Tuesday, is even said to have bought Heard a horse so they can ride together, according to a report in Globe magazine.

More than friends? Amber Heard has been visiting Johnny Depp on the New Mexico set of The Lone Ranger, it has been reported

Vanessa and Johnny had not been pictured together in public for months, but the Dark Shadows star insisted last month that there was no truth to rumours of a split.

'The rumours are not true,' he told The Sun newspaper. 'They are absolutely not true.'

'No matter what I say about this, people believe the opposite. I can’t say enough about it not being over,' he said.

Despite Johnny's denials, a number of publications carried pictures and reports that he and Heard enjoyed a trip together to Las Vegas on a private plane.

Depp was in town promoting Dark Shadows, and Vanessa was nowhere to be seen.

It's unclear why Amber was in the gambling town.

Amber was alleged to have joined Johnny in Vegas, and was pictured boarding his private plane the next day,

Johnny and Vanessa have declined to appear at their respective premieres and public events together recently, with the French actress attending her premiere, of Café de Flore in Paris alone, and not accompanying the actor on promotional duties for Dark Shadows.

They are parents to Lily Rose,12, and ten-year-old Jack.
