As PEOPLE has reported, the two drifted into living separate lives after moving to Los Angeles from France. They haven't appeared together on a red carpet in a year and, an insider told PEOPLE about their crumbling relationship, "It's so sad."

Ngl they were the one celeb relationship I really rooted for :(
one of the very, very few celeb couples that I figured had a solid thing going.
Of course they're human and stuff happens etc. - I'm just sad about this. They were so... idk the word for it. Separate from everything else, but in a good way.
Why did they move from France? L.A., it's all your fault. :(
"Depp has been despairing of America's trashy culture and violence for as long as I can remember, and France is so central to his identity as a discerning sophisticate that I assumed he would never return to the US. So when I ask if he could ever imagine living there again, his reply comes as quite a surprise.
"Well, I kind of do. I'm between wherever I end up on location, and then the States."
What? Hang on a minute; why did he leave France? He makes a sour noise, part grunt, part hurrumph. "Cos France wanted a piece of me. They wanted me to become a permanent resident. Permanent residency status which changes everything. They just want," and he mimes peeling off notes in his palm. "Dough. Money."
If Depp spends more than 183 days in France, he explains indignantly, he'd have to start paying income tax. "I'm certainly not ready to give up my American citizenship. You don't have to give up your American citizenship," he adds sarcastically, but then he'd have to pay tax in both countries, "so you essentially work for free."
And all of a sudden, he sounds exactly like your average corporate Middle America multimillionaire anti-government, anti-tax and apparently oblivious to the part these twin monstrous affronts might play in creating a country where he doesn't have to worry about being mugged by crack dealers on every street."

Hello Victoria & Johnny (me tbh)
really though this confirmation is sad :(
It sucks though cause there are kids involved and that always makes me sad.
(btw the first part is a joke. I am explaining this for all the slower ONTD'ers)
I don't think anything happened per-se except they just grew apart.
