In her interview with Extra promoting her memoir "Out of the Corner," Grey noted that it's been a long time since Depp was in her life. "I don't know him. I haven't known him for 30 years," she said.
She described the person she knew in the late 1980s as "funny and sweet....and so charming and quirky and weird and self-effacing and just so unique."
Depp and Grey were engaged for nine months in the late '80s following her split from her "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" costar Matthew Broderick. She and Broderick were also engaged, but their relationship ended after they were in a car crash in Ireland together that resulted in the deaths of two people.
Grey previously told People that "energetically" being with Depp made her feel like, "Oh, I'm being totally, totally compensated for the shit I just went through," seemingly referring to the car crash.
But the former "Dancing With the Stars" champion also revealed a darker side to Depp in the pages of her memoir. In an excerpt published by The Independent, Grey wrote that Depp began "missing his flights home to LA having overslept or, when he did come home, he'd be crazy jealous and paranoid about what I'd been up to while he was gone."
"I attributed his ill-temper and unhappiness to him feeling miserable and powerless to get off '21 Jump Street,'" Grey wrote, referring to the 1987 to 1991 Fox TV series that launched Depp's acting career.
Their engagement, which, according to Grey began when Depp proposed to her just two weeks into their romantic relationship, ended when she left a note for Depp in their hotel room after he left for a meeting one day and failed to come back or contact her.
