JOHNNY Depp is slammed by dating fears and is now gun-shy about romance after his brutal divorce from Amber Heard.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 62, has hit pause on flings and one-night stands as he focuses on healing, according to Radar Online.

An insider spills, “Johnny’s got a stronger relationship with his guitar than he does with any woman right now – and he’s fine with that.”

Despite his wild past, Depp is said to be a “serial monogamist” who wants a serious, long-term partner for his golden years.

“He’s not desperate to shack up. He’s being patient and biding his time,” the source reveals.

But Depp’s famous shyness is a major hurdle, with the insider adding, “He hasn’t had a lot of first dates in his life!

“He’s just too guarded and introverted to go on a blind date or let himself get ‘set up.'”

This means his next romance will likely come from someone he already knows and vibes with.

The fallout from his messy split is still rocking Depp’s love life, and insiders say he knows luck will play a huge role in finding happiness.

“Johnny knows a lot of this is going to come down to luck, and he deserves happiness as much as anybody does,” the source confirms.
