We're here today to talk about the love story between three-time Oscar-nominated actor Johnny Depp and French singer, actress and model Vanessa Paradis.
How they got to know: Depp and Paradis first met in 1994 as Johnny was related to Kate Moss. Years later, in 1998, they were seen again in the lobby of the Hotel Costes in Paris. As Depp has explained dozens of times, he made Paradis' backpack for himself. ?O Great God, I saw him across the room, wonderful, incredible, fantastic. Back, back, ?he told Rolling Stone.
?He was wearing a dress with an open back and the moment I saw that spine, that neck ... then he came back and saw my eyes - boom! It ended my bachelor days, ?Depp explained to The Daily Mail.
A year after this meeting, Depp and Paradis became parents for the first time. Vanessa gave birth to a girl named Lily-Rose Depp, now 20 years old. Three years later, they became the parents of a son, John Christopher Depp III, now 17.
Why They Worship: Have you seen a more stylish, cultured couple than this one?
Sharing: Rumors that Depp and Paradis had split began circulating throughout 2011 and were further highlighted in January 2012, when Depp appeared alone at the Golden Globes. In June 2012, the couple confirmed that they "had been amicably separated."
Paradis declined to discuss the split in interviews. To Elle France she said: ?I don't want to talk about her. Who said artists should sell the soul, they should expose everything. I have a duty to promote this film and my albums, but can you imagine what it's like to take advantage of your pain? ?However, in an interview for Harper's Bazaar shortly after her release in Elle, she referred to her relationship with Depp : "Nothing is safe, but when something in love does not work from the beginning, it will never work. Don't try it. You may be unhappy, but very much in love with the other. But you're unhappy and you think things can change. "
Two years after the split, Paradis told Marie Claire UK that the busy agendas kept them apart and affected the relationship.
What they are doing now: Depp married actress Amber Heard in 2015-. After parting a year later, Heard accused Depp of violence. Paradis wrote a letter on behalf of Depp, saying: "Johnny Depp is the father of my children. He is sensitive, loving and compassionate. I wholeheartedly think the accusations against him are unbelievable. In all my years with Johnny, he has never been violent with me and the one you describe is not the man I spent 14 wonderful years of my life with. "
Paradis married French writer Samuel Benchetrit in the summer of 2018.
