Well, there are no two ways about this one.

Vanessa Paradis straight-up flipped the bird at a hovering paparazzo today while on her way out of L.A.'s Aroma Café with hairstylist friend John Nollet

Did the photographer dare ask the French singer-actress whether ex-boyfriend Johnny Depp really is engaged to Amber Heard?! 

Reps for the couple have not commented, but Heard was seen—in photographs exclusively obtained by E! News Tuesday—sporting a rather large ring on her left hand, on that finger. And an eyewitness told us that the 27-year-old Paranoia star seemed to be doing everything (well, almost everything) possible to keep her hand covered.

Paradis, of course, was involved with Depp for 14 years before they confirmed in summer 2012 that they had split up. They have two children together, 14-year-old Lily-Rose and 11-year-old Jack.

Nollet, who was on the pastry run with Paradis, is the stylist responsible for, among many other high-profile looks, Depp's gnarly Captain Jack Sparrow dreads in Pirates of the Caribbean.

If the 50-year-old Depp is indeed engaged to Heard, his costar in The Rum Diary, it would be his second trip down the aisle. Before Coupling with Paradis in 1998 (and before dating Sherilyn FennJennifer GreyWinona Ryder and Kate Moss), he was married to Lori Anne Allison for two years. They divorced in 1985, when he was about 22.

The actor and Heard actually just made their official red-carpet debut as a couple on Saturday, at the Art of Elysium gala at L.A.'s Skirball Center. They were both presenters at the Golden Globes the following night.
