Johnny Depp is said to be close to finally tying the knot with longtime partner Vanessa Paradis according to ExtraTV.com. The celebrity news site said that the wedding bell buzz has been reaching a deafening tone in Paris and the two could be one as soon as the end of July.Depp, 44, has walked the aisle once before but the marriage to Lori Anne Allison didn’t last long. The couple were married in 1983 but divorced in 1985. Depp has been engaged to notable actress Jennifer Grey and Winona Ryder as well as supermodel Kate Moss but he never quite took the plunge. Now the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star may be ready to marry Paradis whom he has two children with, Lily-Rose, 8, and Jack, 5. The Academy Award nominated actor has been linked to Paradis since 1998 and the two currently live in France, home of Vanessa. Paradis, 34, has starred in several French films and is a well know singer who topped the charts in France when she was just 14-years-old. [Source]

Hollywood heartthrob JOHNNY DEPP has spoken of his “love at first sight” attraction to long-term lover VANESSA PARADIS.Depp, who has with Paradis for ten years and is rumoured to be getting married soon, claims that he was attracted to the French actress when he first saw her.According to the Daily Mail, he said: “You have this feeling – I can’t really explain what it was, but I had it when I met Vanessa. I saw her across a room and I thought: ‘What’s happening to me?’ “I had no way of knowing how great a person she was or how great a mother she would be.”Depp, who has been engaged twice before to KATE MOSS and WINONA RYDER, added that even when he tried to resist, he felt like Paradis was the one for him.”I can remember thinking the last thing in the world I wanted was a relationship, but it was impossible to escape. I was gone,” he said.The couple have two children – seven-year-old Lily-Rose and Jack, four – and also own their own remote island to bring up their children on. [Source]

Actor Johnny Depp revisited familiar territory this week as he navigated the seas of the Mediterranean, while on a romantic cruise with his partner, French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis.Audiences around the world were entertained by Depp’s swashbuckling antics as Captain Jack Sparrow, when the third installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise hit cinemas this summer.And it would appear that the 44-year actor, who has starred in films such as Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Sleepy Hollow, picked up a thing-or two from his sea-faring alter ego.The star, previously engaged to Kate Moss and Winona Ryder, proved to be a dab hand at navigating the couple’s yacht and was seen studying maps and charts of the surrounding waters.Depp and Paradis live in the South of France with their children, 7 year-old Lily-Rose and Jack, 4.

They have been dating for nine years, and have two children together, and now it seems that Johnny Depp is finally making an honest woman out of Vanessa Paradis.He already has one marriage and four broken engagements under his belt, but the 44-year-old Pirates Of The Caribbean actor has apparently pledged to marry the French singer. The couple will tie the knot in the next few weeks in a private ceremony at their villa in the South of France, when Vanessa’s sister, Alison, will be able to attend the ceremony, a source told OK! magazine.A neighbour confirms that their upcoming nuptials are one of France’s worst kept secrets, saying: “When you go up to their house, the maid admits there is a wedding in the works. “They are very private people and want it to be something low-key and with their daughter as the flower girl.”Johnny and Vanessa, who enjoyed a romantic Mediterranean cruise over the weekend, have denied they wanted to marry in the past, but he changed his mind after his daughter, Lily-Rose, was hospitalised in March with a serious bout of illness. “After the scare with his daughter, they realised it was time to get married. It has brought the family even closer together,” the source added. [Source]
