The acting couple was together for 14 years and had two children
In the midst of the defamation trial that famous actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are currently facing in Virginia, the names of the Hollywood star's ex-partners have come up again due to Heard's allegations of domestic abuse in court.
Last Tuesday, Depp stated, "I never hit Ms. Heard that way, nor have I hit any woman in my life," referring to the 2018 Washington Post op-ed that Heard signed. One of the people who has been a fundamental part of Depp's life has been his ex-partner Vanessa Paradis, who in 2016 defined Heard's accusations as "false facts," according to what she told TMZ.
How many years were Depp and Paradis together?
On the set of Roman Polanski's Neo-noir film, Depp met Vanessa Paradis, a French actress, model and singer, with whom he had a romantic relationship from 1998 to 2012. Although the couple never married, they had two children, the actress and model Lily-Rose Melody Depp and John Christopher "Jack" Depp III, but in 2012 Depp and Paradis decided to separate amicably.
Why did Depp and Paradis break up?
Apparently, the long periods that Depp spent on film sets were the most important factor in the separation of the famous actor and Paradis. "Relationships are very difficult. Especially in the mess I'm in because you're constantly away or they're away and it's hard," Paradis told Rolling Stone. "Sometimes you can be in an unhappy relationship; you're very in love with someone, but they make you unhappy and you think things can change and you can fix it," she added.
What did Paradis say about domestic abuse allegations against Depp?
Vanessa Paradis spoke about what Johnny Depp is like on a personal level, just as Heard accused the actor of domestic abuse, describing him as "a kind, caring, generous and non-violent person and father." "On movie sets, actors, directors and the entire crew love him because he is humble and respectful to everyone, in addition to being one of the best actors we have ever seen," Paradis said.
