Johnny Depp met Vanessa Paradis in 1998 and the two remained together until 2012, with Pardis giving birth to children Lily-Rose Melody and John Christopher Depp III (via Elle). Depp once described their meeting to The Daily Mail, saying, "It was the Hotel Costes. 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! – My life as a single man was done."
While the pair never married, they did seem to split amicably when they made their separation official after 14 years together. In 2013, Depp reflected on the breakup with Rolling Stone.
"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 said. "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."
