Amber Heard Reportedly Dating Bianca Butti — What We Know About Her And Their Steamy New Relationship
New celebrity couple alert!
getty Looks like Amber Heard is in a brand new relationship! Recently, Heard was spotted out with Bianca Butti, and now, rumors that they're an official couple are definitely heating up. In fact, this potential couple has actually been sighted on more than one occasion recently, and although neither of them have publicly shared any of the details, it's hard to ignore that they're probably dating.
But who is Bianca Butti? Heard has been through a lot over the past few years — remember the Johnhy Depp drama? — but it seems like she's found someone who truly makes her happy — at least, as far as the paparazzi photos show. Here's everything we know about Heard's new girlfriend.
1. Butti and Heard were seen in San Diego this week.
They were seen out on the town on Thursday, linking arms and drinking coffee. No word on what they were doing or where they were going, but it definitely seems like they've been spending a lot of time together — and judging from the fact that their first sighting made it clear that they are definitely involved romantically (no word on the official status of their relationship, though), this seems to be more than a friendly outing, too.
And speaking of their first sighting...
2. This isn't the first time they've been spotted together.
Earlier this month, Heard and Butti were seen in Palm Springs, visiting the Colony Palms Hotel. Outside of the resort, they were photographed kissing, indicating for the first time that there was something romantic going on between them.
3. But who is Bianca Butti? She's a cinematographer.
So far, how Heard and Butti met isn't quite clear, but it makes sense that they've crossed paths since they both work in the entertainment industry.
Butti is a 38-year-old cinematographer, and she even runs her own production company called Red Ink On Film. Although she did work in cinematography on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Butti is also behind movies including Eyes on the Moon and An American In Texas.
4. She's currently fighting her second battle with breast cancer.
Last June, Butti took to Instagram to share that she was facing breast cancer for a second time after originally beating it three years earlier.
"I lived cancer free up until about 2 months ago. Unfortunately, I have been diagnosed with breast cancer once again. Same breast. New tumor," she wrote.
There is also a GoFundMe set up to raise money for Butti's second battle, and it has already raised more than $18,000.
5. Butti and Heard have yet to make their relationship social media official.
By looking at both Butti's Instagram account and Heard's Instagram account, it would seem that both women are single, so either they're trying to keep their relationship as private as possible or what's going on between them is still pretty new.
Although Butti doesn't frequently share updates, she mostly seems to post photos with her friends and family, while Heard mostly posts about her travels and herself.
6. Heard frequently speaks out about her bisexuality.
Heard came out as bisexual for the first time in 2010, and since then, she's remained outspoken about her sexuality. Last year, she said during a panel at South By Southwest that her biggest challenge was telling her parents who she really was.
"They didn't know how to process it because, for them, it was being thrown into a binary system of processing it, negative or positive," she said.
It seems like Heard's come a long way since then, though, and now, it looks like she's spending time with someone she really cares about. Congrats to the happy couple!
