Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp have generally been pretty quiet about their ten-year-old relationship. They live a pretty quiet life in France with their two children; Lily, 9 and Jack, 6. For some reason Paradis has given an interview with Elle – very out of character for the private singer/actress/ model. Celebitchy thinks she must be promoting her next album.
Paradis talks about why she and Depp haven’t gotten married yet, how they met, and says that their relationship works because they are good for each other.
“Each summer people say we’re supposed to be getting married, but we don’t talk about it that much,” Paradis – Depp’s girlfriend of 10 years and the mother of his two children – tells the U.K. edition of Elle in its November issue. “He’s got me, and he knows he’s got me.” Adds Paradis, 35: “I love the romance of ‘let’s get married,’ but then, when you have it so perfect … I mean, I’m more married than anybody can be – we have two kids [Jack, 6, and Lily Rose, 9]. Maybe one day, but it’s something I can really do without.”
When French singer-actress-model first met Depp, it was not quite love at first sight.
“We were in two different worlds – him in America, me in France – but we had friends in common,” explains the current face of Miu Miu. “We saw each other sometimes over the course of four years. But then, the day we found each other in Paris, we were both in the same world and free and it was just instant. There was no more time to waste – just no way around it.”
Asked if she’s “tamed” the Pirates of the Caribbean star, whose previous girlfriends include Kate Moss and Winona Ryder, Paradis says: “Tamed. What’s that? Like a lion? Noooo, no, we did it to each other. Maybe I’m a good girlfriend because I’m his girlfriend. I’m not sure I’d be a good girlfriend to anyone else; the same for him. It’s difficult to explain, but it’s something that’s natural, obvious and beautiful.”

Paradis also notes that Johnny is “very charming” and understands why women the world over have a crush on him. These two have always been so cute together, and it seems like it’s pretty clear they’re together for the long haul, whether they formalize it or not. They seem to have a very close bond and have figured out how to balance fame with living a happy, close, quiet life.

Luckiest woman on the planet….
{{{sigh}}}
On Inside the Actor’s Studio, Depp answered a lot of questions about their relationship – he said that if Vanessa ever came to him saying “Let’s get married” he would do it in a second. He also said he first fell in love with her from behind – something about seeing her shoulders in a backless dress, and falling in love.
*swoon* They’re a good couple. 😀
She is know to have been taking drugs for many years,at least in France.Those stories havent make it to the us THough.She was even arrested more than once.
Love these two! 😀
Wow. She is gorgeous!
“Wow. She is gorgeous!”
Ya.. until she smiles!! lol *sigh* I <3 her bf.
aww i like her gap-toothed smile! gives her character and its so cute
Now there’s a cool couple.
kate, please, she was never Amy Winehouse! “Drugs” were only pot and i believe she was only arrested once at JKF airport (for pot possesion, not misbehaving)
i think they’re adorable. there was an interview on TF1 some years back where it was this weird format in that Vanessa was being interviewed without the interviewer being present – just flat screens showing images relating to the topic of discussion – of course, depp’s image came up . . . and she started smiling like a little school girl. this is after having two children with him. it was really cute – it’s nice to see the real thing exists out there:) it’s rare, but u know it when you see it:)
Kaiser, I remember that (Actor’s Studio), it conjured up such a potent image and was so straight from the heart – made me swoon too at the time. 😀
somebody put some bangs on this woman!
she is beautiful but please. bangs emergency.
My blessings to both of them and their children…I only hope they would quit smoking because any time I have seen them recently in photos or interviews…they both seem to be getting that “catcher’s mit” smoker face look with the wrinkles and all…but really, it’s more about living a long and healthy life if not for themselves, then FOR THE CHILDREN PLEASE!!!!!!!!! My heartfelt blessings to you both and your children!!! Love & Peace
