‘Aquaman’ actress Amber Heard welcomes baby girl Oonagh via surrogacy, says she's ‘beginning of the rest of her life’

Actress Amber Heard surprised fans by announcing the birth of her daughter Oonagh Paige Heard through surrogacy. She welcomed her secretly in April this year.

Amber kept ‘Paige’ as her daughter's middle name in memory of her late mother.

She took to Instagram and Twitter on Thursday and revealed that she welcomed her first child.

In the photo, the actress is holding Oonagh on her chest and laying on a bed. She also penned a heartfelt note on the post.

‘I’m so excited to share this news with you. 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. I hope we arrive at a point in which it’s normalized to not want a ring in order to have a crib. A part of me wants to uphold that my private life is none of anyone’s business. I also get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this. My daughter was born on April 8, 2021. Her name is Oonagh Paige Heard. She’s the beginning of the rest of my life.’

Her post was filled with love and blessings for the baby. One wrote ‘Congratulations it's absolutely the best part of life’, ‘We LOVE her so much already’ wrote another.

For the unversed, Amber and Johnny Depp went through a divorce because that was publicised. Johnny was expected to return as Gellert Grindelwald in ‘Fantastic Beasts 3’ but he came under scrutiny because of domestic abuse allegations. Because of this Warner Bros. had asked him to step back from the role. Depp also lost his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
