They were even engaged.
The two first met at the premiere of Great Balls of Fire!. At some point, Johnny tattooed the phrase “Winona Forever” on his arm. However, the actor changed the tattoo to “Wino forever” after their breakup.
Their breakup is thought to have stemmed from them growing apart. He later talked about the media’s intrusive nature. “It’s very hard to have a personal life in this town,” Depp said in 1993.
