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”.
Earlier this month, she filed an appeal in the case, asking for the jury’s verdict to be reversed or for a new trial entirely.
But in her statement on Monday, the Aquaman actress said she had made the choice to settle “having lost faith in the American legal system”.
“Even if my US appeal is successful, the best outcome would be a retrial,” she said. “I simply cannot go through that.”
In a 2018 Washington Post op-ed, his ex-wife called herself a “public figure representing domestic abuse” without naming Mr. Depp. He sued her for defamation. Ms Heard countersued.
People all across the world watched the six-week televised trial. The couple got a divorce in 2017, but when they talked about their five-year relationship, they told very different stories. Both accused the other of bad behavior and violence. Mr. Depp strongly denied what his ex-wife said in court, which was that he had hurt her emotionally, physically, and sexually.
The jury awarded $15m (£12m) to Mr. Depp.
Legal experts were astonished by the ruling, especially since Mr. Depp lost a similar case in the UK two years earlier.

Amber Heard says she did not drop faecal matter on Johnny Depp’s bed.Testifying in court on Monday, the Aquaman star said that it was in fact her dogs who polluted the bed, sharing that one of them has “bowel control issues.”
Johnny Depp earlier shared that Amber Heard burrowed his bed as a prank for the actor.
“Absolutely not,” Heard told her lawyer Elaine Bredehoft.
“First of all, I don’t think that’s funny. I don’t know what grown woman does. I was not also in a pranking mood; my life was falling apart. I was at a crossroads in my life. I was really serious,” Heard continued. “And I had just been attacked on my 30th birthday by my violent husband with whom I was desperately in love and knew I needed to leave. It was not really a jovial time, and I don’t think that’s funny. Period. That’s disgusting.”
Depp declared that he was shown a photo of “fecal matter on the bed” by security after Heard left with friends to go to Coachella back in April 2016.
“I lived with those dogs for many years. … That did not come from a dog. It just didn’t.” He also referred to is as a “fecal delivery.”
