 Johnny Depp’s breakup with his long term partner Vanessa Paradis was brewing for a long time, and RadarOnline.com has exclusive details about the real reason why they split. 
 
 “Johnny didn’t want to be with Vanessa anymore. They had grown so far apart, and he wanted to be free and try new things,” a source close to the former couple tells RadarOnline.com. “He was bored senseless with her, being with Vanessa was making him miserable. 
 
 “The spark had gone, and there was nothing left. Johnny just wants more from life and believes Vanessa deserves to be happier too. He’s not embroiled in some hot and heavy new romance and he has no plans to jump straight into something straight away, but he is keen to have some fun again.

 “Johnny was not handling keeping their split secret too well, it was difficult for him to carry on a farce, so now that it is out in the public he is feeling a lot happier about the situation.” 
 
 As RadarOnline.com previously reported, has been planning the split for a while. 
 
 “Johnny has wanted this relationship to end since last year,” the source says. “He has tried to get out of this for a long time.”

 However, one thing is for sure — even though Johnny no longer wants to be romantically involved with Vanessa, he is determined to continue to be a hands-on dad when it comes to their two children, Lilly Rose and Jack. 
 
 “Make no mistake, Johnny is not walking away from his kids, at all,” the source says. “He loves his children, more than life itself, and he is determined to remain a constant everyday presence in their lives.”

 Rumours about the nature of their relationship have been swirling for some time, but it's being reported that things 'seem to be heating up' between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. 
 
 
 
 The Rum Diary co-stars are said to be so close that bisexual actress Heard, 26, has been a 'regular visitor' to the New Mexico set of The Lone Ranger where 49-year-old Depp is currently filming. 
 
 
 
 And Johnny, who made an official announcement that he had split from partner of 14 years Vanessa Paradis on Tuesday, is even said to have bought Heard a horse so they can ride together, according to a report in Globe magazine.

 More than friends? Amber Heard has been visiting Johnny Depp on the New Mexico set of The Lone Ranger, it has been reported 
 
 A source claims Depp is smitten by the Hitchcock blonde, and reportedly said:' When I first saw Amber, it was like seeing an old-time movie star like Lauren Bacall.' 
 
 The American actress who was born in Austin, Texas, previously worked as a model and before starring in The Rum Diary alongside Depp had had small roles in a number of films. 
 
 She attended a Catholic school in Austin until her junior year, then the ambitious teen left to pursue a career in Hollywood. 
 
 
 
 Heard was active in her school's drama department and appeared in local commercials and campaigns.

 While she was raised a Catholic, after the death of her best friend died in a car crash Heard declared herself an atheist. 
 
 Heard has described her role as Johnny Depp's love interest in the film, The Rum Diary, as 'the best experience of my life.' 
 
 She gushed to magazine Dazed about Depp: 'He’s such a wonderful presence; he is enigmatic and compelling and a true artist, seriously intelligent and incredibly sensitive. 
 
 
 
 'Everybody on set respects and likes him, which says a lot about an actor. It’s a grueling job at times and the stress level that everybody feels in the industry is intense – but it doesn’t affect Johnny. 
 
 'It seems like he has time to look everybody in the eye and I like that, it was wonderful to see.' 
 
 Johnny's partner Vanessa was noticeable absent from the star's side as he hit the promotional trail, seen here with Amber at the premiere of Rum Diary in London last year 
 
 The 26-year-old actress's profile is set to rise as she recently joined the case of thriller Paranoia as the female lead alongside Gary Oldman, Harrison Ford, and Liam Hemsworth. 
 
 
 
 She also recently landed a role as an assassin in the sequel Machete Kills. 
 
 Vanessa and Johnny had not been pictured together in public for months, but the Dark Shadows star insisted last month that there was no truth to talk of a split. 
 
 'The rumours are not true,' he told The Sun newspaper. 'They are absolutely not true.' 
 
 'No matter what I say about this, people believe the opposite. I can’t say enough about it not being over,' he said. 
 
 It's over: Depp's spokesperson finally ended months of speculation by revealing that Depp and Paradis, seen here in 2010, had split 
 
 Despite Johnny's denials, a number of publications carried pictures and reports that he and Heard enjoyed a trip together to Las Vegas on a private plane. 
 
 Depp was in town promoting Dark Shadows, and Vanessa was nowhere to be seen. 
 
 It's unclear why Amber was in the gambling town. 
 
 Amber was alleged to have joined Johnny in Vegas, and was pictured boarding his private plane the next day. 
 
 Johnny and Vanessa have declined to appear at their respective premieres and public events together recently, with the French actress attending her premiere, of Café de Flore in Paris alone, and not accompanying the actor on promotional duties for Dark Shadows. 
 
 They are parents to Lily Rose,12, and ten-year-old Jack. 
 
 Romance? Depp, seen here earlier this month, and Amber, at a red carpet event on June 1st
– Johnny Depp never married Vanessa Paradis, but his break-up could still cost him up to a whopping $157 million, or half his fortune, one lawyer estimates. It won't be a breeze for Paradis to claim the money—she'll need to go to court—but Depp will probably "make a lump sum payment as a settlement" to avoid costly litigation, the lawyer explains to the Sun. Apparently Depp isn't concerned, because he's spending money on rumored new flame Amber Heard: In perhaps the most amusing headline so far, the Daily Mail declares, "Johnny Depp 'buys Amber Heard a HORSE' following Vanessa Paradis split." What the what now? Yes, a horse, a source apparently told the Globe. Heard is said to visit Depp on the Lone Ranger set often, and he wants them to be able to ride together. Maybe that's the sort of thing he couldn't do with Paradis, because Radar's source claims Depp had grown "bored senseless" with Paradis, and the relationship was "making him miserable. … Johnny just wants more from life," the source says, adding that the actor "is keen to have some fun again." But take all this with a grain of salt: People reports that Heard, who is bisexual, brought her longtime girlfriend along on at least one visit with Depp.
