Amber Heard will pay Johnny Depp $1m (£820,000) to resolve their defamation lawsuit, reports BBC quoting Mr. Depp’s lawyers.
In a high-profile case this spring, the former couple fought.
In June, a Virginia jury found that Ms Heard’s essay defamed Mr Depp, 59.
Announcing the settlement earlier on Monday, Ms Heard, 36, said the decision was “not an act of concession”.
Amber Heard, in her first post-verdict interview, said she doesn’t blame the jury. The actress also opened up about the hate and vitriol she had to go through on social media during her defamation trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp, which the actress called “unfair”.
The intense legal battle between the two Hollywood actors, which was live-streamed to millions, went on
Jurors in Virginia on Wednesday ruled in favour of Hollywood actor Johnny Depp, in the libel case brought by the actor against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
Depp had filed a $50 million (€47 million) lawsuit against Heard, arguing that she defamed him in an op-ed for the Washington Post. Jury members found Depp should be awarded more than $10 million (€9.3 million) in damages.

Mr Depp, 58, is suing Ms Heard, 36, over an article she wrote in which she said she was the victim of abuse
