Vanessa Paradis has a bone to pick with the media.

Johnny Depp's ladylove and mother of his two children smacked down tabloid stories that she and the Pirates of the Caribbean star have gone their separate ways after 12 years together.

And it's a much stronger denial than the last time she talked about it.

Making the publicity rounds for her new movie, Café de Flore, Paradis offered a clear statement to French television program Grand Journal on the subject after giving a vague response to the U.K.'s Daily Mail.

"Yes it's false! Of course it's false!" the 39-year-old singer-actress said when pressed about reports she had split with Depp, 48.

Paradis added that such rumors "can truly harm my family."

"When someone reports that we buy a house, they say we have 52 houses around France," she told the show.  "We separate in winter and we get married again in summer… I'm at this point at my 12th pregnancy."

According to Paradis, what she really takes issue with is when reporters write hurtful things that end up affecting their two kids, 11-year-old Lily and 9-year-old Jack.

"These rumors are the content of those magazines that end up in the fireplace or in the toilets and that's it," she said pointedly.

We're glad she cleared that up.

Depp has yet to comment either way on the rumors of their relationship's demise. 

Over to you, Johnny.
