In honour of Winona, Johnny had her name tattooed on his arm, with the phrase Winona Forever, though this was later changed to Wino Forever after their break-up.
He was later in a relationship with supermodel Kate Moss before meeting the mother of his children, actress Vanessa Paradis, while filming The Ninth Gate in 1998.

He and Vanessa split in 2012, after which he began dating his soon-to-be second wife, Amber Heard.
They met on the set of 2009 movie The Rum Diary, and began their relationship after his separation from Vanessa was announced.
They were married in 2015, however Amber filed for divorce from Johnny in 2016, also obtaining a temporary restraining order against him.
Their divorce was highly publicised, with Amber claiming Johnny had verbally and physically abused her during their relationship.
They divorced in January 2017, after which Amber dismissed the restraining order and they made a joint statement.
In early 2019, Johnny sued Amber for defamation over her allegations of abuse, claiming Amber was in fact violent towards him in their relationship.
Amber has denied these claims and in August 2020, she countersued Johnny for harassment on social media, claiming he attempted to orchestrate her being fired from her role in the Aquaman movie series, and as an ambassador for L’Oreal.
Both of these cases are still ongoing, and both parties have denied the claims levelled at them.
At the moment, Johnny is unmarried, and is not known to be in a relationship.
