According to reports ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star Johnny Depp is said to be close to finally tying the knot with his longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis.

The reports suggest that the wedding bell buzz has been reaching a deafening tone in Paris and the happy couple could be married as soon as the end of July.

Depp, 44, has walked the aisle once before but the marriage to Lori Anne Allison didn’t last long. The couple were married in 1983 but divorced in 1985. Depp has been engaged to notable actress Jennifer Grey and Winona Ryder as well as supermodel Kate Moss but he never quite took the plunge. Now the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star may be ready to marry Paradis whom he has two children with, Lily-Rose, 8, and Jack, 5.

The Academy Award nominated actor has been linked to Paradis since 1998 and the two currently live in France, home of Vanessa.

Paradis, 34, has starred in several French films and is a well known singer who originally topped the French charts when she was just 14-years-old.
