Friday, December 06, 2024 - Amber Heard is expecting her second child.
A spokesperson
for the Aquaman actor confirmed the news in a statement
to People magazine.
“It is still quite early in the pregnancy, so you will
appreciate that we do not want to go into much detail at this stage,” the
spokesperson said. “Suffice to say that Amber is delighted both for herself and
Oonagh Paige.”
Heard welcomed her three-year-old daughter, Oonagh, via
surrogate back in April 2021. She first announced the news in an Instagram
post, explaining that her decision to have a child dated back “four years.”
“Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I
wanted to do it on my own terms. I now appreciate how radical it is for us as
women to think about one of the most fundamental parts of our destinies in this
way,” the caption read.
She noted wanting to normalize being a single mother and
“not wanting a ring in order to have a crib.”
The actor added that she would normally want this aspect of
her life to remain private, but because of her job, it wasn’t possible. “I also
get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this,” her caption
ended as she revealed her daughter’s name.
Over the years, Heard has provided various updates about
Oonagh on social media.
Heard was previously married to actor Johnny Depp from 2015
to 2017. In 2022, the two of them ended up in a public legal
battle when Depp sued her in March 2019 for $50 million for defamation
over an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post.
Depp had not been directly named in the article, but his
legal team had argued there was a “clear implication that Mr Depp is a domestic
abuser.”
After six weeks in court, the Pirates of the
Caribbean actor won the case as the jury declared Heard had
defamed Depp on all three counts. He was awarded $10 million in compensatory
damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Heard was awarded $2 million in
compensatory damages.
After the trial, Heard went on to resort to a more private
life as she sold her home in California and moved to Madrid, Spain.
