As Johnny Depp’s defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard, who made allegations of domestic abuse against the actor, continues to unfold, many are curious to know details about “The Pirates of the Caribbean” star’s relationship with his former partners.

One woman who played a fundamental part in Depp's life was his ex-partner Vanessa Paradis, with whom he had a serious relationship for 14 years. Who is she, and what is her net worth?

Paradis is a French singer, model, and actress who started as a child star at 14 following the worldwide success of her single "Joe le taxi” in 1987.

In 1990, she released an album, written by French composer Serge Gainsbourg. She also starred in the film "Noce Blanche" the same year and received the Cesar Award for Most Promising Actress.

In 1992, she moved to the United States because she had started dating singer songwriter Lenny Kravitz. They were together until 1997.

Kravitz helped produce Paradis' self-titled first English album "Vanessa Paradis," which topped the charts in France following its release.

Paradis has appeared in several films, including "La fille sur le Pont,” "Café de Flore” and "Lost in La Mancha." She also released several albums, including “Bliss,” "Une nuit à Versailles,” "Divinidylle" and “Love Songs.”

With all her successes in both acting and singing, it is no surprise that her net worth stands at $100 million today, as per Celebrity Net Worth.

It was in 1998 when Paradis met Depp on the set of Roman Polanski’s neo-noir film “The Ninth Gate.” After being together for more than a decade, the two broke up in 2012 due to their conflicting schedules.

“Relationships are very difficult. Especially in the racket that I’m in because you’re constantly away or they’re away and so it’s hard. It wasn’t easy on her. It wasn’t easy on me. It wasn’t easy on the kids,” Depp told Rolling Stone of their split in 2013.

They share two children, actress and model Lily-Rose Melody Depp, 22, and John Christopher “Jack” Depp III, 20.

In a letter obtained by TMZ in 2016, Paradis refuted Heard’s domestic violence claims, saying Depp is a loving man who has never been physically abusive to women.
