During the early ’00s, Depp appeared on Oprah’s talk show and bared his heart when sharing how Paradis had impacted his life. “Changed it. Completely,” shared Depp during the interview (via Oprah).”I mean, Vanessa and my kids gave me life, put me in a whole other arena.” Depp also complimented her parenting skills. “She’s a great mommy,” Depp continued, adding, “One of the most beautiful things in the world is to see a mommy with her kids.” Depp and Paradis didn’t last, however, and it appears to have been partly because of Amber Heard.

In 2022, Depp revealed during his trial against Heard that he became enamored with her while filming their 2011 movie, “The Rum Diary.” “That moment, was, it was, it felt like something, it felt like something I should not be feeling,” Depp shared on the witness stand (via People). “I think there was something in the [film’s] kiss in the shower that was real.” Unfortunately, Depp and Paradis were still in a relationship at the time. Meanwhile, Paradis spoke of love’s duality in a rather grim fashion around the time of their split. “Love is the strongest and most fragile thing we have in life,” she said to Harper’s Bazaar. “Nothing is ever for sure, but when something in love doesn’t work from the beginning, it’s never going to work. Don’t push it.”
