Amber Heard is pregnant with her second child following her public split from Johnny Depp in 2016.
After Heard and Depp went their separate ways, Heard went on to welcome her first child, Oonagh, in April 2021.
She shared the news that she had given birth to Oonagh in a post on Instagram, in which she explained she had decided to have a baby on her 'own terms'.

Alongside a picture of herself and Oonagh, Heard wrote: "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."
Heard, who is 38 years old, has since shared periodic updates into life with her daughter, describing herself in posts as 'the mom and the dad' as well as a 'multitasking mama'.
Celebrating her first birthday with a post on Instagram, Heard wrote of her daughter: "My little O is a year old today. I still can’t believe you’re here. The greatest year ."
With Oonagh now three years old, Heard has now apparently decided to expand her family once again.
A spokesperson for the Aquaman actor confirmed the news of her second pregnancy in a statement to People, saying: "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. Suffice to say that Amber is delighted both for herself and Oonagh Paige.”
When Heard spoke in front of jurors during her trial with Depp in 2022, she said she was keen to 'move on' after her split from Depp, and be able to focus more on her role as a parent.
"I have a baby. I have to move on. I want to move on, and I want Johnny to move on too," she said.
