Johnny Depp confirms engagement to Amber Heard

American actor Johnny Depp has confirmed his engagement to girlfriend Amber Heard by joking about his "not very subtle" engagement ring, ARY News has learnt.

The 50-year-old showed off a diamond engagement ring during a promotional tour of his latest movie "Transcendence", reports contactmusic.com.

Asked whether he was engaged, Johnny quipped: "The fact that I'm wearing a chick's ring on my finger is probably a dead giveaway. Not very subtle."

The star first met Amber on the set of "The Rum Diary" in 2011 and a year later separated from his partner of 14 years, French actress Vanessa Paradis, with whom he has children Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11.
