Johnny Depp And Vanessa Paradis' Romance Over?

Johnny Depp’s longtime relationship with Vanessa Paradis may be over. Reports have surfaced claiming that the two, who have been together for nearly 14 years, may have called their romance off.

According to sources, Depp and the French model are living separate lives. The lovebirds haven’t been photographed on a red carpet together in a year. This past weekend, Depp attended the Golden Globes by himself. The star also attended the premieres of his movies “The Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and “The Rum Diary” solo.

The source says that Depp’s partner was in town for “The Rum Diary” but opted not to go. “She went instead to a concert that night. It was weird and pretty clear: You’re in town and don’t go to the premiere of your husband’s film?”

Depp and Paradis have two children together but never got married. The two are reportedly living in Los Angeles, but are staying in separate houses.

The source adds, “My sense is that this is a couple which hasn’t existed for two years.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
