There is no doubt that Amber Heard has had a tumultuous decade since she first laid eyes on ex Johnny Depp on the set of their 2011 film The Rum Diary. But after a very public split and messy divorce, the star has found her freedom and is finally living the life of her dreams.
The actress, 35, shocked and delighted fans on July 1 when she announced she had become a first-time mum.
“Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child,” Heard confessed in a heartfelt post on Instagram, along with a stunning image of the star lying on a bed tenderly holding her newborn child against her chest. “I wanted to do it on my own terms,” she added.
Heard explained she’d welcomed her daughter, named Oonagh Paige Heard, via a surrogate on April 8. “She’s the beginning of the rest of my life,” she added.
Friends close to the Marvel star agree that the adorable baby was the antidote Heard needed after the past few turbulent years, which saw her go head to head with Depp, 58, in court. She also lost her own mother, Paige Heard, in May 2020 at the age of 63.
