Amber Heard seems to be making a new life for herself following her legal battles with ex-husband Johnny Depp.
Depp and Heard wed in 2015, but the Aquaman actress filed for divorce just a year later.
While they issued a joint statement at the time of settling their divorce in 2016, appearing to put on a united front, things turned sour between the pair followed Heard's op-ed in The Washington Post.

In the 2018 article, Heard spoke about her experiences with sexual abuse and violence and, while she didn't directly name Depp as her abuser, he went on to sue her for defamation.
Heard went on to countersue for $100 million and accused him of creating a 'smear campaign' about her.
Their explosive court case hit headlines across the globe, with a jury going on to vote in favor of Depp.
They also voted in favor of Heard's counter-suit however, and said that one of Depp's lawyers defamed the actress in one of three statements highlighted in the filing.
By the end of 2022, all of the court filings were believed to have been settled and Heard decided to relocate to Spain with her young daughter, Oonagh Paige.
She welcomed her child via surrogate in April 2021 and has never revealed the baby's father.
Now, in a bid to start her new life in Spain, Heard had reportedly adopted a new name.
Last year, it was said that she had been living under the pseudonym Martha Jane Cannary, which is the real name of old-West American sharpshooter Calamity Jane.
The El Diario de Mallorca reported at the time: "The choice of this identity, which appears at the entrance of her new Mallorcan home, draws much attention, especially as Johnny Depp always maintained that his family trace their roots to ancient Native American tribes and that his great-great-grandmother was Cherokee."
It is unclear if Heard still uses this name, however.
The actress is now thought to be living in Madrid and is focusing her time on Oonagh Paige.
"She is focused on raising her daughter," a source told PEOPLE in 2022. "She spends every day with her girl. They stroll around, visit parks and enjoy family time. Amber is a great mom."
Heard is fluent in Spanish and surprised fans last year after a video came out of her speaking in her first Spanish-language interview.
In the short chat, the 38-year-old spoke of her love of Spain and how she plans to stay there.
UNILAD has contacted Heard's reps for comment.
