Amber Heard has once again captured public attention with the announcement of her second pregnancy, sparking widespread curiosity online about one particular question.
The renowned actress, widely recognized for her role in Aquaman, has often been a focal point of public scrutiny, whether due to her highly publicized legal battles with ex-husband Johnny Depp or her advocacy for social causes and women’s empowerment. Now, Heard finds herself back in the headlines, not for controversy, but for a more personal reason—she’s expecting her second child.
Heard first embraced motherhood in April 2021, welcoming her daughter, Oonagh Paige. At the time, she chose to keep the pregnancy private until sharing the joyful news three months later through an Instagram post. In the heartfelt caption, she expressed her decision to become a mother independently as a personal and empowering choice. “I decided I wanted to have a child four years ago. I wanted to do it on my own terms,” she wrote.
The actress also spoke passionately about breaking societal expectations surrounding parenthood, stating, “I hope we arrive at a point in which it’s normalized not to want a ring in order to have a crib.” This statement, highlighting her choice to parent solo, sparked conversations about redefining modern motherhood and female autonomy in family planning.
Following the widely publicized defamation trial against Johnny Depp in 2022, Heard has shifted her focus towards personal growth and a quieter lifestyle. Seeking peace away from the media frenzy, she reportedly relocated to Madrid, Spain, where she is raising her daughter Oonagh in a more private and serene environment.
A source close to Heard revealed to People that this move was a deliberate effort to distance herself from the aftermath of the courtroom drama. “She’s independent and smart. She needed space to heal,” the insider shared, emphasizing her desire to focus on her personal well-being and her daughter’s upbringing.
Director Conor Allyn, who worked with Heard on the indie film In the Fire, echoed this sentiment. Praising her parenting skills, Allyn described her as a “dedicated mom” who is thriving in Spain while fully embracing her role as a parent.
Though often in the public eye for personal reasons, Heard has continued her professional pursuits in Hollywood. She recently reprised her role as Mera in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and has taken on projects closer to her heart, including independent films like In the Fire. Discussing her career choices with Deadline, Heard expressed her gratitude for the ability to balance major studio productions with smaller, passion-driven projects. “The best luck you can have as an actor is to balance big-budget movies with indie films,” she explained.
Now, the actress has confirmed she is expecting her second child, a revelation shared through her representative, who issued 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. Suffice to say that Amber is delighted both for herself and Oonagh Paige.”
However, this happy announcement has sparked a whirlwind of speculation online. The question dominating discussions seems to be: Who is the father?
Heard’s representative has chosen to remain discreet on the matter, refraining from revealing any information about the baby’s paternity. Despite the lack of confirmation, online chatter continues to grow. Social media users have flooded comment sections with questions like: “Who’s the baby daddy?” “Who’s the father?” and “Baby with whom?”
