Johnny Depp's relationship with Vanessa Paradis: Was it as perfect as the media promoted it to be?
Back when they were together, there was nothing but good, glowing articles being written about them. They were the perfect, talented couple with perfect kids living in the picturesque French countryside.
Was there ever any known drama between them? I know Vanessa got pregnant after a few weeks of dating, while Depp was on a break from Kate Moss, but other than that everything seemed fine. They seemed too perfect and glamorous, almost boring. I did hear that Johnny used to pass out drunk on their sprawling estate a lot, and that he once had a vicious fight with her on the private island---but those are just rumors.
So, is there anything interesting about that couple? We all know Johnny's a mess, but what about Vanessa? There must be something messy about her if she stayed with him from 14 years.

Thank you, OP, for publicly raising this important question that absolutely everyone has been wondering about.

My guess is that Vanessa was very accommodating with all of Depp's personality quirks and drinking. For Depp, she was easy to have around. She probably didn't complain very much, didn't demand marriage even though they had had children.
Then he leaves Vanessa and does get married to Amber Heard, someone who was more demanding. And, let's face it, Depp probably respected Amber for that. Amber was also young, beautiful, edgy.

They should walk the Cannes red carpet together tomorrow. She's married but I guess it would get Depp some good publicity.

Paradis is so ugly. I can’t believe prime Depp settled for that.

R8 She was pretty until her mid 20s, then her jaw became really wide and square. It changed the look of her whole face.

I think he drank like a fish when he was with her, drugs et al. It was just more hidden in the French countryside. Plus it hadn't started to really affect his looks at that point.
It was always a poorly kept secret that he was unwise with his money and a drunk. Given I was a fan and contemporary of his, I recall these rumors.

I dont find her pretty. He only stayed with her because she got knocked up. She hit the jackpot, so she probably didnt give a shit that his alcoholism got worse and worse until he dumped her for Amber. I will give her props for not crapping on him to the tabloids after he left her. She seems like a decent person.

R11 Apparently, Vanessa was obsessed with Johnny for years and was desperate to meet him. When she heard he was coming to Paris to film a movie, she dumped her live-in boyfriend, so she could pursue Johnny. Her industry friend helped her score an invite to a cast party Johnny was having, and that's where they met. She was pregnant within weeks, which stopped him from going back to Kate Moss.

There were rumors that they were both on drugs at the time, but mainly, what I heard was the usual fandom hatred of a spouse. Fandoms LOVE to blame a spouse for all their beloved celebrity's faults, because that's how they convince themselves that the celebrity they lurve is faultless!
So all the fangurls hated on Vanessa back in the day, but the fact is that as long as Depp was with her he was at his most functional. Those were the years when he made his big comeback, when he made his best films and gave his most memorable performances, and kept his act together in public. And it all went to hell when they broke up, and he took Amber Heard and Tim Burton as his life partners.

R13 What kind of drugs? Vanessa doesn't really seem like a messy junkie, at least not on the same level as Johnny.
