The couple, who has been dating for a little over two years, were seen together on the red carpet at the Texas Film Awards on Thursday March 6. Heard was wearing a huge engagement ring. According to Us Magazine, an insider noted, "They were holding hands as they walked in and onto the red-carpet." Hosted by the Austin Film Society, the gala honored Heard with the Rising Star Award, which is given to a breakout young Texas actor. Heard, who is a native of Austin,TX, said on stage to accept her award, "No one told me I'd have to speak.This is where I'm from. I'm humbled and honored to be here tonight."
"Of course they couldn't be happier to be engaged and excited to share the rest of their lives together," a source told People. "Amber has really taken well to the kids and really enjoys spending time with them. And she's even taken Lily shopping on her own for some bonding time." Heard and Depp were joined at the even by her parents, Paige Parsons and David Heard. The two actors are set to costar together again in the upcoming "London Fields."
