Heard, 31, filed for divorce in May 2016 and accused Depp of domestic abuse resulting in a nasty court battle last year.

Depp eventually agreed to pay his ex a $7 million settlement.

According to sources close to the Pirates of the Caribbean star he's 'doing much better,' adding, 'He's more focused and happier.'

Depp recently hired a new management team to handle his finances after it emerged that he is $40million in debt.

No sooner had his divorce been finalized that Depp filed a lawsuit against his former business managers at TMG accusing them of fraud and mismanaging his wealth. 

In their counterclaim TMG allege that Depp's spending has been out of control and he's spent much of his fortune - he earned $650 million over the last 13 years - on extravagant purchases.

Legal documents outlined purchases such as a $18 million yacht, $30,000 a month on fine wine and $3 million on shooting his friend Hunter S Thompson's ashes out of a cannon.

TMG claim they told Depp his monthly expenses of $2 million were unsustainable.

While his lawyers deal with the complicated case, Depp is currently in Paris to promote Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge.

He was pictured looking in great spirits at Disneyland Paris with his co-stars Javier Bardem and Orlando Bloom on Sunday.
