The following article mentions domestic abuse allegations, mental health struggles, and an eating disorder.
From 1998 to 2012, actor Johnny Depp was linked to model and singer Vanessa Paradis.
Their second child, son Jack Depp, arrived on April 9, 2002.
Both kids were born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France.
Jack and Lily-Rose split their childhoods between the City of Lights and City of Angels.
“They didn’t ask for that.
In recent years,Lily-Rose Depp has completely transformed into a Hollywood A-lister.
And sure enough, she seems to have the support of both of her parents.
Understandably, this was devastating for Johnny and Paradis.
Memories of the horrible episode with Lily-Rose came flooding back.
“I spent time in Great Ormond Street when my daughter was ill,” Johnny said.
“I’ve known darkness in my life, but that was the darkest period ever.”
“She’s taught me a lot about self-confidence.”
Johnny has said it’s been hard to watch his daughter pursue a career in acting.
“It’s a father-daughter thing.”
That’s certainly true, andJohnny Depp and his daughter are very close.
The following year, Heard filed for divorce from Johnny, accusing him of physical and emotional abuse.
As the legal drama continued to unfold, Lily-Rose refrained from speaking on the allegations.
He’s chosen to maintain his privacy even into adulthood, and so news about Jack is scant.
“Aside from school plays and things, he hasn’t shown any desire to become an actor.
Johnny said, evidently relieved.
Later that same week, a source toldPeoplethat Jack was spotted out and about in Paris.
According to the tipster, the teen seemed to be doing “a lot better.”
“He’s fine and doesn’t have a health issue,” they said.
Neither Paradis nor Johnny commented on Jack’s health.
“The last couple years have been a bit bumpy,” Johnny explained.
“The thing is, kiddies come first.
you’re able to’t shield them, because then you’d be lying.
Johnny also said he stayed sober through the split because he wanted to be as clear-headed as possible.
With people going, ‘Hey, look at this magazine, man.
What, your dad beats up chicks or something?'”
Johnny said in an October 2018GQinterview.
“Why did he have to go through that?
Why did my daughter have to go through that?”
Johnny’s kids also came up during the trial.
Johnny was ultimately awarded over $15 million in damages after a jury decided Heard was liable for defamation.
