Pick up that jaw you just dropped because it seems like all the rumors are true... Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are "100 percent dating."

Depp, 49, and his longtime beau Vanessa Paradis, announced on June 19 that after 14-years and two children, the couple have called it quits. When news of Depp and Paradis' split broke, so did reports that Depp and "Rum Diary" co-star Heard, 26, were having a secret rendezvous. Turns out the reports might be true because a source revealed to Us Weekly that "They are 100 percent dating."

Earlier this week we reported that Heard was spotted on Depp's private jet, has been visiting his "Lone Ranger" set and was even gifted with a horse so that they can supposedly ride together. THEN a little over a week after Depp's split announcement, it was reported that Heard (who came out as bi-sexual in 2008), split from her girlfriend of four years, artist Tasya van Ree.

Now that the two are single, it seems that they are wasting no time being apart.

Depp and Heard met on the "Rum Diary" set in 2009, and insiders report that the 2011 promotional tour for the film is when things started to heat up between the two.

"They started sleeping together during the press tour," said a source close to Heard.

It's believed that Depp and Paradis have been estranged for months leading up to their official split announcement (the pair had not been seen on the red carpet together in a year), but that doesn't mean that Paradis isn't taking her split well. A source revealed to Perez Hilton that Vanessa Paradis screamed at Johnny Depp about his new younger lover. "If I see her, I'll drown her," Depp's former beau reportedly said.

Times Live reports that the spark was just "gone" between Depp and Paradis. "Johnny didn't want to be with Vanessa anymore. They had grown so far apart," said the source. "He wanted to be free and try new things. He was bored senseless with her, being with Vanessa was making him miserable."

While it seems like Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are now dating, according to Times Live, Depp "has no plans to jump straight into something straight away, but he is keen to have some fun again."

Cheers to Johnny Depp for getting some hot young action then! Also here is hoping that Heard doesn't run into Paradis around any decent bodies of water.
