Amber Heard has reportedly found a new man following her nasty divorce from Johnny Depp. According to In Touch, the actress is now dating musician Brandon McCulloch but she's only doing so to get revenge on her ex-husband.

Citing a source, the publication said that the rumored new couple was seen grabbing a meal together in Los Angeles recently and McCulloch had been telling his friends that he's "dating" Heard. But his pals were convinced that she was just using him to "rile Johnny up."

"She knows how to push Johnny's buttons," the source claimed. "This might just be a fling, but Amber is vindictive and knows stepping out in public with Brandon, who was a guest at her wedding, will hit a nerve with Johnny."

However, Gossip Cop can confirm that the dating story was untrue. The site has contacted another source, whom they claim is more reliable and close to the situation, and has been told that the In Touch article is false because Heard and McCulloch are simply "just friends."

McCulloch himself has also shot down rumors surrounding his friendship with Heard. Ealier this week, he posted on Twitter, "I've been friends w Amber for 12+ years! We've had many lunches and will likely have more."

The musician isn't the first guy Heard has been linked to since she ended her marriage to Depp. The "Justice League" star was previously reported dating billionaire and Tesla founder Elon Musk. He's said to have relentlessly pursued the 30-year-old beauty and repeatedly asked in emails to meet her since they both appeared together in 2013's "Machete Kills".
