JOHNNY Depp’s 14-year romance with French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis has hit the rocks, People magazine claimed recently, and the couple are living largely separate lives.

In a cover story for this week’s issue of People called “Love Gone Wrong”, the celebrity magazine quoted several unnamed sources as saying the pair’s relationship is nearing an end.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 48, and Paradis, 39, never married but have been together since 1998 and have two children.

They divide their time between France and the United States.

People magazine noted that the pair have not appeared on the red carpet together for more than a year, missing both the Cannes film festival in May 2011 and the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills on Sunday, where Depp was a presenter.

“According to m u l t i p l e sources....(they) are all but officially finished,” People said.

Depp’s representatives did not return calls for comment on the People story, which hit newsstands on Friday
