Amber Heard Expecting Her Second Child
Amber Heard is expecting her second child, expanding her family. The 38-year-old actress, already a mother to her 3-year-old daughter, Oonagh Paige, is reportedly excited by the news.
The Actress’s Move to Spain
Heard, who relocated to Spain after her highly publicized legal battles with her ex-husband Johnny Depp, has previously expressed her desire to have children independently and on her own terms.
Confirmation of Pregnancy
While specific details about the pregnancy are being kept private, a representative for Heard confirmed to PEOPLE that she is thrilled for herself and her daughter. The spokesperson added that the pregnancy is still in its early stages and emphasized the family’s privacy during this time.
Amber’s Daughter and Surrogacy Journey
Amber welcomed Oonagh Paige on April 8, 2021, and made the announcement public in July that year. She later reflected on her decision to have a child via surrogacy, saying it was an empowering choice that defied traditional views on motherhood. “Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms,” she shared.
Vision for Women’s Independence in Family Planning
Heard, who was previously married to Johnny Depp for 15 months before their 2016 divorce amid domestic violence allegations, expressed her hope for a future where women are not pressured into traditional family paths. “I hope we get to a point where having a crib doesn’t require a ring,” she said.
Heard’s Life in Spain After Legal Battles
After facing setbacks in both her personal and professional life, including losing a defamation lawsuit against Depp, Heard moved to Spain to start fresh and live outside the public eye. Despite this, she occasionally shares moments from her life as a mother, including a TikTok video from May where she surprised fans by speaking fluent Spanish.
Amber’s Relationship with Bianca Butti
Heard was briefly linked to cinematographer Bianca Butti, with whom she was spotted frequently during the period of her legal struggles. The pair was seen together in Spain in October 2022. Butti, a graduate of San Francisco State University, has a background in cinema, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Closing the Trial Chapter with Depp
Reflecting on her tumultuous legal battle with Depp, Heard stated in December 2022 that defending her truth came at a personal cost. She described the vilification she faced on social media as an intensified version of the way women are often re-victimized when they come forward with their stories.
