Amber Heard enjoys lunch date with lesbian ex Tasya van Ree as divorce dispute with Johnny Depp continues
The former couple ended their relationship five years ago but are still close
AMID the chaos of her divorce dispute with Hollywood's Johnny Depp, actress Amber Heard has reunited with her former love Tasya van Ree.
The 30-year-old blonde star was spotted lunching with her ex-girlfriend in Los Angeles this week.
The pair previously dated for four years and at one point were "married" with court documents showing they entered into a legally binding domestic partnership in California in March 2008.
Signalling her commitment to her relationship with the 40-year-old photographer, Amber also changed her name to Amber van Ree.
But even after Amber's marriage to Johnny, 53, in 2015, the pair remained close.

The two are said to have arrived separately for their lunch date at La Brea Avenue's French restaurant Republique on Tuesday, before spending over an hour together.
Tasya recently said of her former girlfriend: "Amber is a brilliant, honest and beautiful woman and I have the utmost respect for her.
"We shared 5 wonderful years together and remain close to this day."
Sources say the pair's continued closeness took its toll on Amber's 15-month marriage to the Pirates of the Caribbean star.
Amber and Johnny are currently embroiled in an ugly divorce battle, with Amber claiming incidents of domestic violence took place during their short union.
A restraining order hearing where Amber was set to testify against her estranged husband was scheduled to take place in June but was postponed until August 2 in favour of the pair settling their differences privately.
Johnny is currently on tour with his band The Hollywood Vampires.
