On June 17, DailyMail.com reported that in new legal documents filed as part of Johnny Depp's $50 million defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard, a man named Josh Drew alleged that his ex-wife — Amber's best friend Raquel "Rocky" Pennington — told him Amber had an affair with Cara Delevingne while she and Johnny were still married. He also alleged that it was his "understanding" that Amber, Cara and Elon Musk had "a three-way affair" in late 2016 — six months after Amber filed to divorce the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star. Johnny has also suggested in other legal documents that Amber and Elon had an affair in 2015 — before the "Aquaman" actress filed for divorce in May 2016. The SpaceX founder, who dated the actress off and on from 2016 to early 2018, released a statement to Page Six insisting that he and Cara are "friends" and have "never been intimate." He also doubled down on his previous claims that he and Amber "only started going out about a month after her divorce filing."

The coronavirus pandemic has reportedly "given them a chance to hang out more and work on their friendship."

On the June 16 episode of her "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast with Rachel Lindsay, Becca Kufrin admitted that she and her fiancé, Garrett Yrigoyen, are on the rocks in the wake of his headline-making comments in support of the police amid Black Lives Matter protests.

Jason considered their offer for a "day or two" but ultimately declined because he doesn't want his proposal to have any association with her past engagement. In other non-engagement news… On the June 22 episode of "The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever," Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes clarified that although they've been wearing wedding rings for the past six months, they're not legally married — or engaged.

Jenelle Evans and husband David Eason spent the first half of June making it clear on social media that their rekindled romance had taken a downward turn.

The mother of three even hinted at a permanent split, telling Celebernation that it was time for her "to move on from this relationship." But within days, they'd apparently reconciled.
