Johnny’s selling his beloved yacht… because it reminds Amber of his EX

It's clear who wears the pants in Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's relationship.

Eight months into their marriage, it appears Johnny has just sold his his beloved yacht, at Amber's insistence. 

The reason? It reminds her too much of the actor's ex, Vanessa Paradis. Johnny purchased the luxury vessel back in 2007, midway through his 14-year relationship with Vanessa.

He's used it many times since their split in 2012, but Amber feels it carries too many memories, a source tells Us Weekly.

"Johnny loved that yacht. But he bought it for Vanessa… Amber is still jealous of her." 

And what better to fuel jealously than a 57 metre reminder of your husband's ex… that just so happens to be named in her honour?

Yup, the yacht is named Vajoliroja –  'Va' for Vanessa, 'Jo' for Johnny, 'LiRo' for their daughter Lily Rose and 'Ja' for their son Jack.

Prior to being sold, the vessel was available for charter… for a cool €115,000 a week. With room for 10 guests and a crew of 8, it features a formal dining room, outdoor seating areas, a master suite and four guest cabins.

Despite Amber's distress, the massive yacht certainly came in handy earlier this year for the couple's private island wedding.

As Johnny's 45-acre Bahamian island doesn't have a whole lot in the way of sleeping quarters, additional attendees were housed on the yacht, meaning the couple were able to accommodate a larger guest list.

Opening up about married life in Elle back in June, Amber said not a lot had changed for the couple since tying the knot.

"Nothing is a dramatic change. We've been together for a long time now, so it's been a fairly organic process," she said, adding, "I have a fiercely independent spirit."

Fierce, indeed.
