There are rumours that Johnny Depp has caught that nasty split bug that's going around Hollywood these days.
According to RadarOnline.com, the Pirates of the Caribbean star's relationship with his long term girlfriend and baby-mama Vanessa Paradis is on the rocks.
"Johnny isn't handling anything well right now," a source tells Radar. "People around him are worried about how Johnny is doing because he and Vanessa seem so fractured right now. Their relationship is heading toward the end."
The 48-year-old Depp and 39-year-old singer have been together since 1998 and have two children, Lily-Rose Melody and John Christopher "Jack".
"Johnny has started reaching out to lawyers, probably to quietly discuss how to get out of the relationship. They're not married but they've been together for years and have kids together so it isn't as easy as just breaking up," the source says. "Johhny is so talented at acting, but he doesn't seem able to hide how badly things are going right now."
Depp famously changed his "Winona Forever" tattoo to "Wino Forever" after his breakup with then fiancée Winona Ryder. Lucky for The Rum Dairy star, he learned his lesson and Paradis is only represented in tattoo form as one of three hearts on his upper left arm.
The actor will next appear in the film adaptation of his late-80s TV show,21 Jump Street, reprising the role of Officer Tom Hanson.
