Amber Heard may have lost in court against ex-husband Johnny Depp, but the Texas-born actress has won the race in terms of Google searches. With 5.6 million monthly searches this year, she’s topped the list of most-searched celebs in 2022.
Everyone Has Been Googling Her

Per CelebTattler, the Aquaman star topped the list of the search engine giant’s most searched-for famous faces – she even outperformed the likes of 42-year-old SKIMS mogul Kim Kardashian and pop sensation Justin Bieber. Amber, 36, has made headlines this year for battling it out in court with A-Lister ex Johnny. She’s also been in the news for continuing her motherhood journey.
Who’s On The List
Amber takes top slot. Taking the #2 place is Johnny Depp.
Also featured as the most-searched-for were reality star Kim Kardashian, billionaire Elon Musk, actor and comedian Pete Davidson, plus the late Queen Elizabeth II, who died earlier this year.
Losing The Defamation Trial
Amber was sued by Depp after her headline-making Washington Post op-ed. The actress said that she was a victim of domestic violence. While she did not name any names, this was enough to prompt Pirates of the Caribbean star Depp to sue her for $50 million in a defamation suit.
A Rocky Relationship
Amber and Johnny first met back in 2009 on the set of movie The Rum Diaries , where they were costars. They married in 2015, but the marriage was short-lived. In 2016, Heard filed for divorce and alleged that her ex had abused her while under the influence of substances.
People Are Still Searching
In a statement, CelebTatter told NY Post: “This year has certainly not been lacking when it comes to celebrity news stories, whether it be Elon Musk taking over Twitter or the ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ behind the scenes drama.”
2021 Baby News
Amber also made headlines last year for welcoming her first child via a surrogate.
“I’m so excited to share this news with you. Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms. I now appreciate how radical it is for us as women to think about one of the most fundamental parts of our destinies in this way,” she began.
Introducing Oonagh
The blonde added: “I hope we arrive at a point in which it’s normalized to not want a ring in order to have a crib.”
Says Stay Out Of Her Business
Amber did, however, stress that she didn’t want prying eyes. “I also get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this. My daughter was born on April 08, 2021,” she added, then introducing Oonagh Paige Heard.
Limits IG Comments
Amber put her IG comments on limited just as her JD drama heated up.
