Depp Moving To Private Island

Johnny Depp is moving homes again - this time to a private desert island where he'll raise his family.
THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN star is relocating from France to an island in the Bahamas, purchased in 2004.
Depp wants his French partner Vanessa Paradis and children LILY-ROSE MELODY, 7 and Jack, 4, to be able to enjoy a peaceful way of life and feels the remote home will be the ideal spot.
He says, "It's so beautiful there, so peaceful, free and relaxed.
"We want to spend a lot more time there in the future because it's a completely different way of life.
"It'll be our home base, but we'll still spend time in France and in the Sates, so our children will grow up in both cultures."

This is not a rumour, it is fact based. Johnny purchased this island two years ago. He bought it with the intention of taking his family there to escape the media attention and have one-on-one time with them. I am sure that he will send his children to school. It's possible while at their island home that he will bring in a tutor or home school them, but they are not living there 365 days a year either. If you noticed, the article indicated that they will still spend time in France and in the US and maintain their homes there.

Johnny has always said, the he wants to give his kids a normal life, Lilyrose is already at school, and Jack who is 4, will be going soon, I don't think he would take his kids to a remote Island, and cut them off from the world, outside, I think that this is just another romour, like Vanessa being pregnant, which she wasn't, and Johnny giving up acting because of Vanessa's career, which he denied, I think the jury is out on if this is a true story.

Can I come with you all; I could be the children's nanny, I would love to live on a remote island away from all the husle and busle of the world; of course I would have to bring my children with me; but they are teenagers now....I need someone to look after...they don't let me give them as many hugs and kisses now they are older.... :0(
