In May 2016, after turning heads at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, a camera-shy Lily-Rose Depp touched down at Los Angeles International Airport.
She was picked up at the airport by her boyfriend, British model Ash Stymest, whom she started dating a few months earlier.
Ashley Stymest, better known by Ash Stymest, was born on July 31, 1991, and is eight years older than Lily-Rose Depp. She was born on May 27, 1999.

Johnny Depp was reportedly unhappy about his teenage daughter dating a much older man.
“What’s happening to Lily-Rose is something that I didn’t expect to happen this early, that’s for sure!” Johnny told Daily Mail in 2015.
“It’s such a funny thing when you see your daughter transitioning from your baby, your little girl, to suddenly being a young woman. If you’re not really looking for it, you can miss it, and Lily-Rose is on that road already and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. She’s been snatched up by Karl Lagerfeld — which is a coincidence, as he spotted her mother when she was the same age, too — and when I see her with makeup and all that stuff, it’s really disturbing, because she’s a very beautiful girl, and it’s all happening so fast.”

The then-16-year-old daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis was casually dressed in a black hoodie styled with skinny jeans and a pair of white Nike sneakers.
She carried a houndstooth backpack while hurrying through the terminal to escape the paparazzi.
Her then-24-year-old British boyfriend Ash Stymest waited nearby and loaded a large red suitcase into a car.
