Johnny Depp’s Ex Amber Heard Stuns with Her Baby after Fleeing Hollywood for Serene Living
- Amber Heard lost in a defamation lawsuit against her ex-husband Johnny Depp.
- She was requested to pay $10 million, but she could not afford it.
- Now the actress is starting a new life in Spain with her daughter, with many fans not knowing she had a child.
In 2016, Amber Heard sued her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, for domestic violence, and he countered that in a defamation lawsuit.
The allegation stemmed from an article by the Washington Post where Heard alluded to being a victim of domestic violence.

The trial took six weeks and revealed several intimate moments about the former couple's relationship. In addition to allegations of abuse, there was one shocking fight that reportedly ended with Depp losing part of his finger.
After 13 hours of deliberation, Depp won the lawsuit that had the whole world watching and following the case. Heard was requested to pay $10 million for defaming the actor with her domestic abuse claims.
Depp was in the UK when the verdict came out and said he was happy, adding, "The jury gave me my life back." Then he continued to say that he hoped his experience would show any man or woman that the truth is worth fighting for.

On the flip side, Heard was disappointed at the outcome, believing she had enough evidence to prove her innocence. "It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously," she said
The actress's attorney admitted that Heard could "absolutely" not afford to pay her ex-husband the $10 million. According to reports, Heard got herself out of the divorce payout, which saved her millions. However, she reportedly still has $5 million to pay, which she also stated she could not afford.
Nonetheless, she quietly sold her home in California for $1.05 million. The house had three bedrooms and sat on six acres of land in California.
The actress let go of her desert home to start a new life outside of Hollywood, especially now that she's playing the important role of a mother.

Aside from the uncertainty around her career, many people did not know that Heard had welcomed a child. Facebook users were in shock when the photos of Heard and Oonagh surfaced. "How come we haven't seen this child before!" reacted a fan.
People wondered if she welcomed the child during her relationship with Depp or after their public trial, while one fan asked, "Who's the daddy?"
How Did Amber Become a Mother?
In July 2021, Heard shared a sweet picture of her newborn daughter laying on her chest. She said she had been thinking of having children for four years but wanted it to happen on her own terms.
The actress expressed her appreciation for this progressed world, allowing women to have children without needing a ring.
As a public figure, Heard said she still wants to keep her private life to herself. Even though her job does not always make that easy, she felt compelled to empower other women and normalize having a "crib without the ring."
Oonagh Paige Heard was born on April 8, 2021, and her arrival has meant everything to the actress. She expressed, "She's the beginning of the rest of my life."
Heard spent long months in court fighting her ex-husband. Though things did not go her way, she's focusing on the blessing that is her daughter and leaving the past behind for a fresh start with Oonagh.
The actress explained that she was happier being a full-time mother and not dealing with multiple lawyers on the phone. However, the thought of one day having to tell her daughter about this trial has crossed her mind, and the actress said she would.
Despite the loss, she sees the whole experience as something good because she did everything in her power to stand up for herself. Heard only hopes the next steps in her life are not based on the trial and wouldn't further perpetuate a silencing of women.
Heard also revealed that despite her turbulent time with Depp, she still had love for him because they were married. When it comes to her child, she is not ready to reveal her child's father and hopes people will not fixate on that and just be happy with the new addition to her life.
Nonetheless, Heard just celebrated her daughter's birthday in April and is soaking up all the glory of motherhood.
