Depp 'glad he waited to have children'

Johnny Depp has revealed that he is "glad" he waited to have children later on in life, reports say.

The Public Enemies star has said he is grateful he waited for the right partner, whom he insists is Vanessa Paradis, to start a family and not with the women in his previous relationships, according to Female First.

Depp said: "I'm glad I didn't have children until Vanessa and I got together.

"I think when you are young, you are hoping that this person will be the right one, the one you are going to be in love with forever, but sometimes you want that so much you create something that isn't really there."

He added: "I was very young when I married Lori Anne [Allison] and probably it was because I was trying to create a situation. We married in 1983 but it didn't last very long and that was probably because I wasn't ready to handle such a commitment.

"I then got engaged to Jenny Gray, Winona Ryder and Kate Moss but it wasn't until I met Vanessa that life started to be real."
