Amber Heard, widely recognized for her role in Aquaman, has revealed that she is expecting her second child. The announcement has reignited online chatter, with many asking the same question about the child’s paternity.
A Personal Journey to Motherhood
Heard’s journey into motherhood began in 2021 when she welcomed her daughter, Oonagh Paige. Sharing the news on Instagram three months later, the actress emphasized the deeply personal nature of her decision.
“I decided I wanted to have a child four years ago. I wanted to do it on my own terms,” she wrote, underscoring her desire to normalize independent parenthood. She added, “I hope we arrive at a point in which it’s normalized to not want a ring in order to have a crib.”
Since her well-publicized legal battles with ex-husband Johnny Depp, Heard has stepped away from the intense media scrutiny. She now resides in Madrid, Spain, where she has focused on creating a quieter life for herself and her daughter.
A Fresh Start in Spain
Heard’s move to Madrid was reportedly an intentional step to leave behind the chaos of her legal struggles. A source shared with People, “She’s independent and smart. She needs to heal.”
Conor Allyn, who directed Heard in In the Fire, also highlighted her dedication as a mother and her thriving life in Spain. He remarked that she is “living her best life” with her daughter.
Despite her efforts to keep her personal life private, Heard has continued to remain active in her Hollywood career. Most notably, she reprised her role as Mera in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and explored smaller, passion-driven projects like In the Fire.
Speaking about her work on indie films, Heard told Deadline, “The best luck you can have as an actor is to be able to balance [big-budget movies and indie films].”
Preparing for Baby Number Two
Now, Heard is preparing to expand her family. A representative confirmed the news to People, stating, “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.”
The announcement has sparked widespread curiosity about the identity of the baby’s father. While her representative has chosen not to address the speculation, fans have taken to social media to voice their questions.
“Who’s the baby daddy?” one user asked.
Another echoed, “Who’s the father?”
A third simply questioned, “Baby with whom?”
Following Her Own Path
Heard, who has previously been linked to individuals like cinematographer Bianca Butti, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and art dealer Vito Schnabel, currently appears to be single. Given her prior comments about independently choosing to have her first child, many speculate that she is pursuing her second pregnancy under similar circumstances.
As Heard embarks on this new chapter, she continues to inspire conversations about redefining traditional narratives of motherhood and family.
