Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have decided to split up after their 14-year relationship.

Depp's publicist announced Tuesday (June 19) that they "have amicably separated."  It has also bee requested for the public to "please respect their privacy and, more importantly, the privacy of their children."

The couple have two kids together, Lily-Rose their 13-year-old daughter and Jack their 9-year-old son even though they never legally married.

Deep, 49 and Paradis, 39 first got together in 1998 and lived a very private life in France.

There were rumors that the two were living separate lives after Depp moved to Los Angeles from France. Paradis, however denied the speculation in January.

Paradis said at the time, "People say we are buying houses in the middle of nowhere, or that we have fifty two houses in France. And that is along with saying we split up every winter and get married every summer, and that I'm on my twelfth pregnancy. All that is not too serious, but this latest one is a rumor which could cause a lot of harm to my family and my children."

"The rumors are not true. They are absolutely not true," Depp also said in May. "No matter what I say about this, people believe the opposite. I can't say enough about it not being over."

Now the split is official.
