Amber Heard celebrated Mother's Day 2025 by announcing the birth of her twin boy and girl.
On May 11, the 39-year-old actor revealed she welcomed her second and third children in an Instagram post featuring the newborns' tiny feet. Heard previously welcomed her first daughter, Oonagh Paige Heard, in 2021. Four years later, the 'Heard gang' has gained two new members: baby girl Agnes and baby boy Ocean.
'Mother's Day 2025 will be one I'll never forget. This year I am elated beyond words to celebrate the completion of the family I've strived to build for years,' Heard wrote in her Instagram post. 'Today I officially share the news that I welcomed twins into the Heard gang. My daughter Agnes and my son Ocean are keeping my hands (and my heart) full.'
She continued, 'When I had my first baby girl Oonagh four years ago, my world changed forever. I thought I couldn't possibly burst with more joy. Well, now I am bursting times three!!! Becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges has been the most humbling experience of my life. I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully. To all the moms, wherever you are today and however you got here, my dream family and I are celebrating with you. Love always, A x.'

Amber Heard waited three months before she announced the birth of her first daughter back in 2021. As she reiterated in her most recent post, the actor wanted to build a family 'on her own terms' following her tumultuous divorce from Johnny Depp in 2016. She welcomed Oonagh Paige Heard in April 2021, nearly one year after the death of her mother, Paige Heard.
'Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child,' she wrote alongside a portrait with her first-born in July 2021. '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.'
She continued, '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.'
Later that month, Heard referred to herself as 'mom and dad' in a playful Instagram post about Oonagh, writing, 'I'm just the mom and the dad. She's the boss.'
It seems not much has changed since the Heard family expanded. "Amber is delighted to welcome the twins and complete her family," a spokesperson for Heard told People on May 11. 'Mama and babies are enjoying every minute. And Oonagh is happily running the show.'

No one wants to date a ‘man-child' — here's how to avoid them, according to dating expert
Leave it to Sabrina Carpenter's latest single to make the term 'man-child' mainstream, especially in the dating world. The term is pretty self-explanatory. It describes a man with childlike qualities: think emotionally immature men who most likely can't be a supportive partner — everything a woman would most likely swipe left on while scrolling a dating app. Luckily, dating app Hily relationship expert Dr. Marisa T. Cohen, PhD, shared with the Daily Mail the tell-tale signs to be on the lookout for if you're either trying to avoid dating a man-child or wondering if you're already committed to one. One way to figure out a person's emotional maturity is to pay attention to how they handle conflict in their life. 'Do they have some solid coping strategies? Or do they just kind of wing it?' Cohen said. 'Their answer can tell you a lot — like if they're self-aware, whether they stick it out when things get rough, and how well they keep their cool (or not).' Another indicator if a potential suitor is a man-child or not is if you can decipher whethey they did the work on themselves by going to therapy and learning tools to self-soothe. By asking them about this, 'You'll get a sense of what they need, how they handle things, and maybe even how they deal with stress or think about mental health,' the expert explained to the outlet. It's also important to vet a person by asking about their accomplishments and what they're most proud of. 'This two-parter is a super easy way to get the lowdown on your match,' Cohen said. 'You'll hear about their big wins and how they handled any curveballs along the way.' When talking about past relationships, rather than asking the basic questions like 'When was your last relationship?' or 'Why did you end things?' — instead ask what the person learned from them. This milion dollar question will reveal a lot about a person. 'Basically, you're seeing if they've taken time to reflect, process the ups and downs, and figure out how to do better next time,' the expert explained. 'It's not about perfection — just about being real and ready to grow.' Another indicator that a guy is immature is if he has this one specific line in his dating app. When revealing his height upfront, if a guy's dating app profile says 'because apparently that matters' — run for the hills. 'They're making a presumption about what all women want and painting us with the same passive-aggressive brush,' Cosmopolitan's associate sex and relationships editor Kayla Kibbe said in a recent essay. 'The belief these men are responding to isn't totally unfounded,' she conceded, '[but] the height standard to which many men seem to feel subjected is not one that was devised by women but rather one imposed on us all by internalized patriarchal beliefs.' Yes, women oftentimes use height to filter out potential matches, experts warn that it could lead many to a life of loneliness. Judith Gottesman, a matchmaker and dating coach, told The Post that 'what matters is the connection you have and that you respect, trust and love each other.'

‘The best' – Meghan honours Harry in heartfelt Father's Day message
The Duchess of Sussex has shared a heartfelt Father's Day tribute to her husband, featuring rare footage of the couple's two children. Meghan posted a video to Instagram showing Harry alongside Archie and Lilibet, set to the song Have It All by Jason Mraz. 'The best,' she captioned her post. 'Happy Father's Day to our favorite guy.' The compilation showed photos and videos of Harry laughing, dancing and spending quality time with his children through the years. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (@meghan) The duchess made her social media return in early 2025 and regularly shares personal milestones and professional updates through her Instagram account. Harry and Meghan have been raising their children in Montecito, California since announcing they were stepping back as working members of the royal family on January 8 2020. The couple have since been at the centre of tensions with other royals, with the duke becoming estranged from his father, the King, and his brother, the Prince of Wales. In a recent interview, Harry said he 'would love a reconciliation' with his family, claiming Charles will not speak to him and expressing concern that he does not know 'how much longer my father has'. Harry was not the only royal father to receive a Father's Day appreciation post. William's children earlier wished him a happy Father's Day in a social media post declaring: 'We love you!' Two new photographs of William and his three children, George, 11, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, seven, were released on Sunday. The first picture shows the prince and his children posing for a family picture in a garden, while in the second picture, William and the youngsters are shown wrestling playfully in the grass, with the two boys holding their father down and Charlotte laughing. Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L 💖 📸 Josh Shinner — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) June 15, 2025 In their post, the three children wrote: 'Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) 'We love you!' The message was signed 'G, C & L' followed by a sparkly heart emoji. Kensington Palace said the photographs were taken by professional photographer Josh Shinner in Norfolk earlier this year. The King and Queen have also wished fathers around the world a happy Father's Day by posting photographs of their own fathers on the royal family's Instagram account. 'To all Dads everywhere, we wish you a happy Father's Day today,' the official account said. The post shared a photograph of the late Prince Philip playing with a young Charles and the Princess Royal on a swing. A picture of Camilla and her father Major Bruce Shand was also shared, showing the pair posing for a photograph on Camilla and Charles's wedding day on April 9 2005.
