Vanessa Paradis hits Paris premiere without Johnny Depp

Vanessa Paradis fuelled rumours of a split with long-term beau Johnny Depp last night, appearing solo at the premiere of new flick Café De Flore.

The actress stepped out in Paris to promote the hotly-tipped movie alongside co-stars Marin Gerrier and Jean-Marc Vallee, but stopped for just a few short shots before moving inside.

Wearing leather trousers and a black tux jacket, Vanessa put on her usual smouldering stare for the cameras - but her famous other half was nowhere to be seen.

This comes just days after the actress revealed in an interview she doesn’t believe in soulmates – and finds the idea ‘scary’.

‘The idea of a soulmate is beautiful and very romantic to talk about it in a movie or a song, but in reality, I find it scary’ she told reporters.

Last week the Hollywood rumour mill went into overdrive, after reports suggested that Johnny and Vanessa are on the verge of a split, and 'living sad, separate lives'.

‘Johnny has started reaching out to lawyers, probably to quietly discuss how to get out of the relationship,’ one insider revealed at the time.

'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. Johhny is so talented at acting, but he doesn’t seem able to hide how badly things are going right now.'

Reps for the pair are yet to comment on the reports.
