Johnny is 'married' to Vanessa

Johnny Depp has spoken about how he feels married to French beauty Vanessa Paradis despite the fact that the two have no plans to tie the knot.

The Pirates of the Caribbean heartthrob has been engaged in the past to well-known names such as Winona Ryder and Kate Moss, but has suggested that he already feels married to girlfriend Vanessa, with or without a ring.

"The thing is, if you are together and you love each other and are good to each other, make babies and all that, for all intents and purposes you are married," Johnny said.

The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Donnie Brasco star already has two children with his singer-actress Vanessa, who is perhaps better known for late 80s single Joe le Taxi.

Eight years into their relationship, the couple are parents to daughter Lily-Rose, aged seven and son Jack, who is four.
