Amber Heard Secretly Welcomes Baby Girl Via Surrogate As $50 Million Battle With Ex Johnny Depp Rages On
Surprise! Amber Heard is a mommy!
The 35-year-old actress just surprised the world by introducing everyone to her baby girl -- who she secretly welcomed via surrogate.
Johnny Depp's ex-wife dropped the baby bombshell on Thursday.
Posting an adorable photo holding onto her brand-new daughter -- who she named Oonagh Paige Heard -- the star looked at peace while cradling her little girl.
Heard also revealed she's been keeping her baby a secret for the past two months.
Showing her infant's face, Heard's first child was seen sleeping on her mommy's chest.
Despite it being a shock to her fans, the Aquaman actress said she began the process following her divorce with Depp.
"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," she explained.

Revealing more about her journey, Heard said she's hoping to bring some normalcy into single parenting.
"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," the star continued.
Revealing that she understands all aspects of her life are under a microscope, Heard explained she wanted to introduce her baby on her own terms.
"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," the new mom wrote.
Ending her lengthy message, Heard said, "My daughter was born on April 8, 2021. Her name is Oonagh Paige Heard. She’s the beginning of the rest of my life."
This is Heard's first child, despite getting married to Depp in 2015.
Their marriage didn't last long. She filed for divorce in 2016 and they made it official in 2017.
Heard and Depp are currently battling it out in court over a $50 million defamation lawsuit.
