Vanessa Paradis isn't bitter about her split from Johnny Depp.

The French singer-and-actress and the actor separated last June after 14 years together and Johnny is now in a relationship with Amber Heard - whom he starred with in The Rum Diary. Vanessa - who has two children, Lily-Rose, 13 and Jack, 11, with the Hollywood heartthrob - has accepted their romance ran its course and insists love is an ever evolving emotion.

"We're changing all the time. Once we want to fight for our love, once we want to get rid of it. Sometimes we're happy without love, sometimes not. Love doesn't necessarily stay what it is," she told Germany's Grazia.

Vanessa has a very philosophical view of romance and insists love will find everyone in its own way at some point in their life. The 40-year-old beauty - who is releasing new album Love Songs - explained, "A relationship means something different to everybody and love can't be locked up. Love means freedom and in freedom everything is permitted." Vanessa's LP contains the track "New Year" which was co-written by her, Johnny - who plays guitar - and their daughter Lily-Rose came up with the singing melody when she was "very young."
