The 35-year-old actress is celebrating the birth of a little girl months after ex-husband Johnny Depp lost his libel case.
A source exclusively told Page Six on Thursday that Heard introduced her daughter Oonagh Paige, the she named Paige after her late mother, « more than in love ».
Oonagh was born on April 8th with the help of a surrogate mother after Heard was told she would never be able to have her own baby friends shared.
A source who knows the star told us, “Oonagh is absolutely gorgeous and Amber is in love. She always knew that she wanted to become a mother and this is her greatest wish. She is so grateful to the wonderful woman who helped bring Oonagh into her life.
« The most important thing for Amber is that she is open to Oonagh’s birth, » the source continued. “There are so many women who feel they cannot talk about their fertility and are concerned and embarrassed; Amber wants them to feel supported and to realize that there are many ways to have a baby even if you have fertility problems. «
Heard confirmed the news Thursday herself on Instagram, where she shared a photo of herself the infant.
« I am very excited to share this news with you. Four years ago I decided to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms, ”she wrote. “I now appreciate how radical it is for us as women to ponder one of the most fundamental parts of our destiny in this way. I hope we get to a point where it is normal not to want a ring to have a crib. «
She added, » Part of me wants to make it clear that my private life is nobody’s business . I also understand that the nature of my job forces me to take control of it. My daughter was born on April 8, 2021. Her name is Oonagh Paige Heard. She is the beginning of the rest of my life. ”
Heard is currently in a relationship with camerawoman Bianca Butti, whom she has been with since January 2020, but she made the decision some time ago to have a baby on her own and is « proud » to be Oonagh’s only legal parent, we are told.
Next, the activist is shooting the film « Aquaman 2 », in which she plays the Atlantic Princess Mera alongside Jason Momoa in the title role. </ The birth of Heard's baby is particularly poignant, friends say, as she lost her own mother in May 2020 at the age of 63 and said at the time she was "incredibly heartbroken and devastated".
She called Paige “the most beautiful woman I have ever known” in an Instagram post, adding, “It’s hard to imagine and even harder to say, but I’m really happy to be her daughter and get the gift, that To have light « it has shone on everyone, fall on me for almost 34 years. «
Heard then thanked her family and friends for helping her and her sister Whitney during the » incredibly painful time. «
The death of the star’s mother happened just a few weeks before her three-week trial against Depp, 58, in the London High Court in July 2020.
She gave evidence against the « Pirates of the Caribbean » star who ended up on his trial Lost defamation against The Sun newspaper for an article calling him a « woman beater ».
The judge found that Depp attacked Heard a dozen times and put her in « fear for her life » three times. </ After the fall, Heard said, “After I received an injunction in 2016 and finalized my divorce, I just wanted to get on with my life. I didn't file this lawsuit and, despite its importance, would have preferred not to have been here in court.
“It was incredibly painful to relive the breakup of my relationship, to question my motives and my truth and the most traumatic and To share the most intimate details of my life with Johnny in court and broadcast them all over the world. I stand by my testimony and now trust the British judiciary. ”
In April, Depp asked the appeals court to give him permission to challenge the High Court ruling for a retrial.
Depp’s lawyers tried to claim Heard failed to donate her $ 7 million divorce settlement to the American Civil Liberties Union and Los Angeles Children’s Hospital as she promised, but the court denied Depp permission to appeal .
A source close to Depp told Page Six, « The judge thought she was this wonderful person who stands up for humanity » because of her supposed generosity, « but she lied out of her ass [about the donations]. «
Heard’s attorney Elaine Bredehoft confirmed that her client had yet to fulfill her charity pledge, but insisted, » Amber was already up for seven-digit Spe nd responsible to charity and intends to continue to contribute and eventually fulfill their promise.
« However, Amber has been delayed in achieving this goal because Mr. Depp filed a lawsuit against her and she was forced to pay millions as a result of dollars to defend Mr. Depp’s false allegations against them. «
The couple will stand in US court next April as Depp is suing Heard over a 2018 Washington Post opinion piece in which she claimed to have been a victim of domestic violence but did not mention the actor by name.
The source Heard knows added, « At the moment, Amber is all about Oonagh and raising a healthy and strong daughter. » / p>
