She is in a relationship with American actor Johnny Depp with whom she has a daughter, Lily Rose Melody (born May 27, 1999), and a son, Jack John Christopher III (born April 9, 2002). Vanessa caught Johnny's eye in a hotel lobby in Paris in 1998, while Depp was there shooting the film The Ninth Gate. They are distant to the world of fame and are protective of their privacy. They divide their time living in a house in the Hollywood Hills and a villa in the South of France. They also own apartments in Paris and Manhattan. Vanessa's 'Bliss' album was openly dedicated to Johnny and their daughter Lily Rose. They have now been together for seven years.
