AFTER 10 years of living as an “almost married” couple, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis plan to make it official. Life & Style has reported the couple, who already have two children together, will marry this summer.

In the past, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star was reluctant to say “I do” again. Depp married and divorced makeup artist Lori Anne Allison in the early 1980s and felt content with his current live-in arrangement.

Depp had previously admitted he would be reluctant to tie the knot because he loved his partner’s surname.

He said: “It would be a shame to ruin her last name! It’s so perfect — Vanessa Paradis. So beautiful. It would be such a drag to stick her with Paradis-Depp. It’s like a flat note!”

“For all intents and purposes, we are married. But if she ever said, ‘Hey, let’s get hitched,’ I would do it in a second. We’ll do it if the kids want us to, or maybe when the kids are old enough to enjoy it with us.”

An insider claimed that’s just what happened. “Vanessa recently told Johnny that she would love to have a wedding,” a source close to the Paradis-Depp family told Life & Style. “Johnny loves Vanessa very much, and he said if that’s what would make her happy, then he’d marry her.”

The event, which is set to take place June 14, will be a family affair. Depp plans to have the ceremony in Georgia, the United States, to make it convenient for his family who live in Florida.

The source added: “The couple’s children are really excited about it. Actually, the whole family is excited. They’re going to send out invitations in a few weeks.”(SD-Agencies)
