Hollywood star Johnny Depp and his partner Vanessa Paradis have parted ways after nearly 14 years together.
 
Rumours that the couple have parted ways has been swirling since last year when they were never seen at any public event together, but they vehemently denied it.
 
But the couple, who have two kids Lily-Rose, 13, and Jack, nine, have finally put an end to all speculation, reported Access Hollywood.

'Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have amicably separated. Please respect their privacy and, more importantly, the privacy of their children,' Depp's representative said.
 
It is said that the separation announcement purposefully coincided with Paradis' trip to France to promote her new movie Je Me Suis Fait Tout Petit.
 
'It was all decided before she got on that plane,' a source said.
 
Paradis had earlier said that she feels more than married to Depp and might tie the knot with him one day.
 
'I'm more married than anybody can be -- we have two kids. Maybe one day, but it's something I can really do without,' she had said.
 
Depp has been living separately for months and before deciding to split, the couple reportedly 'tried for months to save the relationship but have known for weeks that it couldn't be saved.'

R&B star Bobby Brown, who was married to late singer Whitney Houston, has tied the knot with fiancee Alicia Etheredge.
 
The ceremony on Monday took place less than 24 hours after his performing a New Edition concert in Honolulu, reported People magazine.
 
Brown, 43, was surrounded by family and friends, including his older kids Landon, 23, La'Princia, 22, and Bobby
Jr
, 19, as well as Brown and Etheredge's only child together, Cassius, three.
 
The groom wore a red suit and Adidas sneakers that matched those of Cassius, who served as ring bearer. Four young flower girls were in attendance.
 
The couple became engaged in a very public way in 2010, when Brown popped the question to Etheredge during a sold-out
New Edition show in Jacksonville.
 
Brown credited Etheredge with giving him a new lease on life following his 2007 divorce from Houston, who died in
February.
 
'I got my passion back for music and for loving myself because of her,' Brown said in 2011 of Etheredge, who is also
his manager.

One person noticeably absent from the celebration was Bobbi Kristina, 19, Brown's daughter with Houston. Kristina and Brown are not on good terms right now, according to a source.
