As he grows closer to his Rum Diary star Amber Heard, it's being reported that Johnny Depp was spending time with other beautiful women as his 14 year union with Vanessa Paradis crumbled.
Depp, 49 , was forced to deny rumours that he was involved with his Dark Shadows co-star Eva Green who he shared a sensational, supernatural love scene with in the Tim Burton flop.
But a report suggests that he has struck up a more serious bond with his pretty publicist, Robin Baum.
Close: It's been reported that Johnny Depp and his publicist Robin Baum formed a relationship that went beyond work
'Robin and Johnny spend a lot of time together obviously because of work but their relationship seems to be getting much closer than just business,' a source told RadarOnline.com.
'Robin is twice divorced and a mom but she and Johnny really seem to have some kind of crazy connection that goes way beyond a professional level.
'They travel a lot together for work and get to spend a lot of time together and they definitely have a total flirty vibe between them. I would put money on them having more than just a friendly relationship.'

They added that Johnny's French partner Paradis was aware of the close relationship between her partner and Robin... and wasn't happy about it.
'She knew that Johnny and Robin were together a lot and she didn't like it, but there was nothing she could do because it was a working relationship she was told,' the source said.
But currently, bisexual actress Heard, 26, is a 'regular visitor' to the New Mexico set of The Lone Ranger where 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.

A source claims Depp is smitten by the Hitchcock blonde, and reportedly said:' When I first saw Amber, it was like seeing an old-time movie star like Lauren Bacall.'
The American actress who was born in Austin, Texas, previously worked as a model and before starring in The Rum Diary alongside Depp had had small roles in a number of films.
She attended a Catholic school in Austin until her junior year, then the ambitious teen left to pursue a career in Hollywood.
Heard was active in her school's drama department and appeared in local commercials and campaigns.

While she was raised a Catholic, after the death of her best friend died in a car crash Heard declared herself an atheist.
Heard has described her role as Johnny Depp's love interest in the film, The Rum Diary, as 'the best experience of my life.'
She gushed to magazine Dazed about Depp: 'He's such a wonderful presence; he is enigmatic and compelling and a true artist, seriously intelligent and incredibly sensitive.
'Everybody on set respects and likes him, which says a lot about an actor. It's a grueling job at times and the stress level that everybody feels in the industry is intense – but it doesn't affect Johnny.
'It seems like he has time to look everybody in the eye and I like that, it was wonderful to see.'
Johnny's partner Vanessa was noticeable absent from the star's side as he hit the promotional trail, seen here with Amber at the premiere of Rum Diary in London last year
The 26-year-old actress's profile is set to rise as she recently joined the case of thriller Paranoia as the female lead alongside Gary Oldman, Harrison Ford, and Liam Hemsworth.
She also recently landed a role as an assassin in the sequel Machete Kills.
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 talk 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.
It's over: Depp's spokesperson finally ended months of speculation by revealing that Depp and Paradis, seen here in 2010, had split
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 Caf 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.
Romance? Depp, seen here earlier this month, and Amber, at a red carpet event on June 1st
Eva Green is a beautiful, beautiful woman. I don't know why she wears that freak show make up. It's hideous and hides her beauty. I think she should dial the make up way down and let her natural beauty be seen. And get a hair trim and have it styled. She is just as beautiful as Michelle Pfieffer, but with that make up and hairstyle looks totally frightful. Why is she hiding her beauty? As for Johnny, he used to be physically stunning. So handsome. Now he wears these very weird clothes can jewelry, and it doesn't look like he works out. He could clean up very quickly if he wanted.
