Johnny Depp has separated from his partner of 14 years, French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis.
The Hollywood actor had previously denied newspaper reports this year that the pair was to split.
The 49-year-old began dating Paradis, 39, in 1998 after he broke up with supermodel Kate Moss.
" Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have amicably separated. Please respect their privacy and the privacy of their children," said Depp's publicist.

Depp and Paradis appeared together in Roman Polanski's 1999 film The Ninth Gate.
The couple have two children, Lily-Rose, 13, and nine-year-old Jack.
They have homes in France, Los Angeles and on a private island in the Caribbean.
The couple never married, although Depp has been married once before, to Lori Anne Allison between 1983 and 1985.
