Lily-Rose Depp may be only 16, but there have already been plenty of stories revolving around her love life. Just months after clarifying that she never "came out" on Instagram — "I was literally doing it just to say that you don't have to label your sexuality," she told Nylon — the model was spotted out with a man eight years her senior, model Ash Stymest.
While the two have never confirmed or even hinted that they're a pair — they could just be good friends, people! — a part of us was curious. Where had we seen this guy before? Turns out, it was everywhere. Since stepping on to the scene in '08, Ash has had quite the successful career, appearing in ads and walking the runway, meaning little Lils could possibly just know him from the biz.
