“Pirates of the Caribbean” star Johnny Depp has split from French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis after 14 years. “Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have amicably separated. Please respect their privacy and, more importantly, the privacy of their children,” Depp’s publicist, Robin Baum, said in a statement. Speaking of privacy, there have been rumors in Los Angeles of Depp spending time with Baum. In January, In Touch magazine ran a picture of Depp apparently kissing a woman it claimed to be Baum, who didn’t respond to us for comment last night. And Depp, 49, and Paradis, 39, have been living separate lives for a while — they haven’t appeared together on a red carpet in more than a year. It was also reported that he enjoyed a trip to Las Vegas with his bisexual “The Rum Diary” co-star, Amber Heard, in late April. They were pictured boarding a private plane as he was promoting “Dark Shadows.” But following reports of problems between him and Paradis, Depp said in May, “The rumors are not true. They are absolutely not true. No matter what I say about this, people believe the opposite. I can’t say enough about it not being over.” Depp and Paradis, who got together in 1998 but never married, have two children, Lily-Rose, 13, and Jack, 10, and have homes in France, Los Angeles and the Caribbean.
