Heard became a mother on April 8, 2021, when she welcomed Oonagh Paige via surrogate, though she announced the news three months later.

Reflecting on her journey to motherhood, she wrote on Instagram at the time that she decided to have a child on her terms four years prior.

"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," she said.

In a June 2022 interview after the verdict, Heard expressed relief about focusing on her family, saying, "I get to be a mom, like, full time, you know? Where I'm not having to juggle calls with lawyers."

Depp addressed the aftermath of the trial during a press conference at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, saying, "Do I feel boycotted now? No, not at all. But I don't feel boycotted by Hollywood because I don't think about it," Variety noted. 

Amber Heard praised for her dedication to her daughter

Amber Heard is reportedly single following her split from Depp, and it remains unclear if her second child is being welcomed with a partner or via surrogate, Daily Mail noted.

In 2023, director Conor Allyn, who worked with Heard on the thriller 'In the Fire', described her life in Spain, saying she is "living her best life in Spain with her daughter and just finding happiness in that way."
