Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp were one of the most talked-about couples in Hollywood in the early 1990s. They met while filming Edward Scissorhands in 1990 and quickly fell in love.
In an interview with Cinema, Ryder said that she was "born wanting to get married" and that she planned on having children one day. She also revealed that Depp had proposed to her just five months into their relationship.
However, Ryder's father, Michael Horowitz, put a stop to the wedding plans. In an interview with Vogue, Horowitz said that he "loved Johnny but you were 17."
Ryder was understandably upset by her father's decision, but she eventually understood his reasoning. "He was right," she said. "I was too young."
The couple broke up in 1993, but they have remained close friends. In a recent interview, Ryder said that she still considers Depp to be her "first love."
The story of Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp's ill-fated engagement is a reminder that even the most passionate romances can be derailed by reality. However, it is also a testament to the strength of their friendship that they have been able to remain close even after all these years.
