Amber Heard has finally ponied up the $1 million she owed ex-husband Johnny Depp after losing a nationally-televised defamation trial in Virginia last year, according to a source close to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor.

The six-week courtroom spectacle ended in June 2022 with a $10.35 million judgment against Heard for defaming Depp by penning a 2018 op-ed that referred to herself as a domestic abuse victim.The jury handed Heard $2 million in her countersuit.

Depp, 60, agreed to settle the case last December for $1 million, which was paid this month by the "Aquaman" actress' insurance company.
