Before Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor was in a 14-year relationship with Vanessa Paradis.
“She was wearing a dress with an exposed back and I saw that back and that neck, and then she turned around and I saw those eyes, and — boom!" Said Johnny Depp ion 2011
You have this feeling — I can’t really explain what it was, but I had it when I met her. I saw her across a room and thought: ‘What’s happening to me?’

They share two children together
Lily-rose, born in 1999, and Jack, born in 2002.
“I never found myself needing that piece of paper. Marriage is really from soul to soul, heart to heart. You don’t need somebody to say, OK you’re married,” told Johnny.
The actor continued, “If Vanessa wanted to get hitched, why not. But the thing is, I’d be so scared of ruining her last name! She’s got such a good last name.”
Depp and Paradis welcomed their first child, daughter Lily-Rose, in May 1999, who starred in the commercial for Channel's most famous perfume.
In 2016, amid allegations that Depp had physically abused Heard, then-teenage Lily-Rose wrote via Instagram, “My dad is the sweetest, most loving person I know, he’s been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him would say the same.”
In 2002, Vanessa & Johnny Deppwelcomed their second child — a son named Jack.
“With my kids, they’re told 75 times a day that they’re loved. One thing I know is they feel loved and secure and happy and needed and necessary and a part of something,” Depp told Rolling Stone in 2013.
“It came at the perfect moment. The island provides me with somewhere I can go where no one is looking at me or pointing a camera or a finger at me. When were there we do absolutely nothing. My kiddies dont have any toys there and they build little houses out of shells.”
Depp and Paradis say that they have “amicably separated” and request privacy for their children.
“Relationships are very difficult, especially in the racket that I’m in because you’re constantly away or they’re away and so it’s hard. It wasn’t easy on her. It wasn’t easy on me. It wasn’t easy on the kids,” he explained.
“The trajectory of that relationship — you play it out until it goes, one thing leads to another. So for whatever reason that ­ceases, it doesn’t stop the fact that you care for that person, and they’re the mother of your kids, and you’ll always know each other, and you’re always gonna be in each other’s lives because of those kids. You might as well make the best of it.”
