- Johnny Depp has two kids: Lily-Rose Depp and Jack Depp.
- The Hollywood star's daughter has openly supported her dad.
- Both kids avoid Amber Heard, and that speaks volumes.
Johnny Depp’s life has always been a rollercoaster. From his famous acting roles to his headline-grabbing legal battles, the man has been through it all. And one of the biggest pieces of the drama? His very public divorce from Amber Heard.
Depp’s kids, Lily-Rose and Jack Depp, also have had front-row seats to their dad’s very public drama, especially when it comes to his ex-wife. If you’ve been following the Depp-Heard drama, you know it’s been messy. From accusations to court cases, it’s been a lot to unpack.
But in the middle of this, the actor’s two kids with his ex, Vanessa Paradis, have mostly stayed out of the spotlight. They’ve kept their heads low and avoided getting involved in the mess, but there are some things that have made it clear where they stand. Keep reading to find out what we know.
Who Are Johnny Depp’s Kids?
Johnny Depp has two children—Lily-Rose Depp and Jack Depp. They were both born to Depp and his long-time partner, French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis. Lily-Rose was born in 1999 in France and quickly grew up to be a star in her own right.
She’s an actress and a model, making waves in Hollywood and the fashion world. She starred in films like The King and has become known for her chic style and cool-girl persona. Lily-Rose is one of those celebs who always seems to be in the headlines for her work and her impeccable style.
Then, there’s Jack, born in 2002. Unlike his sister, Jack isn’t interested in the spotlight. In fact, he’s so private that you barely hear anything about him. He doesn’t attend many public events, and likes to keep his life out of the public eye. His low-key attitude has earned him a bit of mystery.
But even though he stays out of the limelight, Jack’s clearly got a lot of people talking—especially when it comes to his dad’s complicated relationships. Depp and Paradis split in 2012 after being together for 14 years.
Despite their breakup, they’ve always kept things friendly, especially for the sake of their children. Even when things got messy with Heard, Paradis spoke out in support of Depp. She defended him against the allegations Heard made, saying in a declaration submitted in his defense (via PEOPLE):
On movie sets the actors, directors and entire crews adore him because he is humble and respectful to everyone, as well as being one of the best actors we’ve seen. I have seen that these outrageous statements have been really distressing, and also caused damage to his career because unfortunately people have gone on believing these false facts.
It’s clear that the estranged couple still maintain a strong bond for the sake of their family.
What Does Lily-Rose Depp Think of Amber Heard?
Lily-Rose Depp has always been a bit private, but when it comes to Amber Heard, it’s pretty obvious where she stands. Here’s a fun fact: Lily-Rose didn’t attend Depp and Heard’s wedding in 2015.
It’s kind of a big deal because she was old enough at the time to attend, but she didn’t. And the reason? According to Depp, it was because Heard and Lily-Rose were not exactly on good terms (per PEOPLE).
In fact, the superstar even hinted that the relationship was rocky due to Heard’s lifestyle at the time, which included a “communal bag of MDMA.” Depp suggested that the wedding wasn’t exactly a wholesome event, and Lily-Rose probably wasn’t too keen on being part of it.
But that wasn’t the only time Lily-Rose publicly showed her feelings about Heard. When Heard filed a restraining order against Depp in 2016, Lily-Rose didn’t stay silent. She posted a message on social media defending her dad, saying (per South China Morning Post), there “was zero evidence of any crime at the scene.” She also shared a photo with a heartfelt caption saying:
My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know, he’s been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him would say the same.
Lily-Rose’s support for Depp didn’t end there. When she was interviewed by Entertainment Tonight, she talked about the importance of staying grounded and being self-aware. The Idol star said:
You can’t always be perfect. Nobody is perfect. Period.
While she didn’t directly comment on the drama between Depp and Heard, her message was clear—she’s always had her dad’s back, no matter what. It’s also worth mentioning that Lily-Rose’s relationship with her mom, Vanessa Paradis, seems very strong.
She posted a sweet Mother’s Day tribute to Paradis (via Hello!), showing love and appreciation for her mom’s role in her life. It’s no surprise that Lily-Rose would be protective of her dad and her family, especially considering how much public scrutiny Depp faced.
Both of Johnny Depp’s Children Appear to Share the Same Sentiment
Now, let’s talk about Depp’s other kid, Jack Depp. While Jack isn’t as public as Lily-Rose, it seems like he shares the same views on Heard. According to Jack, his children have “a non-existent relationship” with Heard. That’s pretty telling!
Depp’s not shy about how he feels about Heard’s accusations. As he said: “My kids are far more intelligent than I am. They refused to be around her.“
While Jack has never spoken publicly about his feelings, Depp’s comments make it pretty clear where Jack stands. He’s not about to get involved in the drama, and he’s certainly not going to sit around and let false claims hurt his family.
Even though Jack is very private and doesn’t share much with the public, Depp has been very vocal about standing up for both of his kids. He’s made it clear that he wanted to protect them from the false accusations being made against him.
He wanted to make sure that his children didn’t have to deal with the damage of those claims, especially considering how hard it must have been for them to read all the headlines.
While Jack may never speak out directly about Heard, his actions—like staying out of the public eye and not engaging in the drama—speak volumes. It seems like he and his sister are both on the same page when it comes to Heard: they’re just not having it.
