Johnny and Vanessa’s bond may have shifted, but their commitment to co-parenting remained unwavering. During their time together, the pair welcomed Lily-Rose in May 1999 and Jack in April 2002.

In a June 2013 interview, Johnny was asked if the breakup brought any strange adjustments. He explained, “The strangest thing in terms of adjustment is just making sure that everybody is okay. That’s really everything. You make sure first that your kids are okay, and that they understand that it’s normal.”

“They were incredibly understanding, incredibly accepting. I was extremely proud of them, you know, the way they dealt with it,” said the celebrity.

Reflecting on their split in a 2014 interview, Johnny divulged how they maintained a harmonious dynamic for the sake of their children. “Vanessa and I get along wonderfully. There’s no weirdness at all, no hostility,” he said. The musician acknowledged that life takes its course, reminisced about their 14 years together, and expressed pride in the children they raised.

He described their ongoing relationship as amicable, crediting Vanessa’s kindness and praising her as a great mother, with nothing negative to say about her.

Speaking about Jack — whom he refused to teach to drive at 15 due to his recklessness — the actor revealed, “My boy Jack has always been a very talented draftsman. He draws really super-well. He also plays music very well. He’s got a good feel for that. […] He hasn’t shown any desire to become an actor. Whew!”

“Now I indeed keep them away from the cameras because I don’t want our children to be forced to share in our fame against their will,” she said. The mother of two noted that her kids hadn’t chosen fame, at least not yet, adding that if they decided to step into the spotlight, she wouldn’t stop them.

The model further explained that landing this role felt special, as it finally made her seem “cool” in her brother’s eyes. Now that they’re older, she admitted that while she thinks Jack is the cool one and often tries to spend time with him, he’s usually busy.

Recent reports reveal Jack has quietly been working at a trendy Parisian restaurant. He spent time at L’Area, a Lebanese eatery in the Bastille district known for its mosaic floors, exposed rafters, and popularity among fashion, music, and film industry insiders.

In addition, his striking resemblance to his father hasn’t gone unnoticed by online users. When he turned 19 in April 2021, a user on X celebrated with a throwback photo of him and Johnny alongside a recent solo image, writing, “Today is Jack Depp’s 19th birthday. Johnny really raised such a beautiful, talented and sweet boy.”

Additional reactions showcased Jack’s resemblance to his father, including his hair. One user observed, “Young Johnny [sic] hair.” Another added, “Yeah, he seems [sic] a really nice boy and I love his hair.” Commenting on his hairstyle, someone wrote, “Awww Jack’s copying his dad’s man bun.” Another simply noted, “Young father))) [sic].” One more user gushed, “So handdome [sic].”

Johnny Depp’s son Jack may live a quieter life than his sister, but his talents and charm haven’t gone unnoticed. Despite his preference for privacy, glimpses into his world reveal a young man who effortlessly reflects the creativity and charisma of his famous family.
