Amber Heard announces birth of twins as she completes ‘dream family’
The actress is now a mother to three children.
Amber Heard has surprised fans by announcing that she has become a mother to twins.
She had already revealed that she was pregnant in December but did not share the sex of her baby or that she was having twins.
The 39-year-old actress took to social media with the news of her little ones’ arrivals on Mother’s Day in the US, uploading a cute photo of their tiny feet.
Her caption to her 5.1million followers read: ‘Mother’s Day 2025 will be one I’ll never forget. This year I am elated beyond words to celebrate the completion of the family I’ve strived to build for years. Today I officially share the news that I welcomed twins into the Heard gang.’
She confirmed that she’s welcomed a daughter named Agnes and a son called Ocean, joking that they are keeping her ‘hands full’ as well as her heart.
‘When I had my first baby girl Oonagh four years ago, my world changed forever,’ she said, having welcomed her first child via surrogacy in 2021.

She added sweetly: ‘Becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges has been the most humbling experience of my life.
‘I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully.’
Heard, who was previously in a high-profile relationship with Johnny Depp, concluded: ‘To all the moms, wherever you are today and however you got here, my dream family and I are celebrating with you. Love always,
A x’
Heard opted not to speak publicly about her pregnancy while she was expecting. She also hasn’t shared any details of who her twins’ father is.
Offering further insight into her latest arrival, a representative told People: ‘Amber is delighted to welcome the twins and complete her family.

When her pregnancy was announced late last year, it was also her spokesperson who did so via a statement to People.
‘It is still quite early in the pregnancy, so you will appreciate that we do not want to go into much detail at this stage,’ it read.
‘Suffice to say that Amber is delighted both for herself and Oonagh Paige.’
The Aquaman star has retreated from the spotlight in recent years and keeps a lower profile these days following her explosive defamation trial with ex-husband Depp.
Heard and Depp, 61, were married from 2015 to 2017, and then, in 2022, they headed to court, with a jury asked to determine whether Heard had defamed her ex in a Washington Post op-ed written in 2018.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor won his defamation case in June of that year, having sought millions of dollars in damages, for which Heard countersued, after a jury reached a unanimous verdict.
Depp was awarded $10million in compensatory damages, plus another $5million in punitive damages; however, the latter was reduced to Virginia’s maximum of $350,000 by Judge Penney Azcarate.
Heard won one of her three defamation counterclaims and was awarded $2million.
She now lives a much quieter life in Madrid, Spain, having said once the trail ended that she was looking forward to being a mother ‘full-time’ when she wan’t ‘having to juggle calls with lawyers’.
