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.'
