On Mother's Day, US actress Amber Heard revealed that she is now a mom of three after announcing the arrival of her twin babies.
Heard shared a cute picture of their feet and also added that she now has welcomed the arrival of a boy, named Ocean and a girl, named Agnes.
She captioned her post, '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.
'Today I officially share the news that I welcomed twins into the Heard gang. My daughter Agnes and my son Ocean are keeping my hand (and my heart) full,' the now mother-of-three shared.
The 39-year-old further added that when she had her first daughter, who she welcomed in 2021 her world changed forever and she couldn't be happier - now with three children, she is even more happy.
Heard continued to add that despite having fertility challenges, she's grateful to have chosen to do this responsibly and thoughtfully.
According to 'People', Heard's spokesperson shared that the actress is happy and has now completed her family.
"Heard is delighted to welcome the twins and complete her family. Mama and babies are enjoying every minute, and Oonagh is happily running the show,' the spokesperson revealed.
In 2024, according to multiple online reports the actress was expecting another baby. However, Heard did not confirm nor deny the claims.
Heard has been entangled in a legal battle with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, after she filed for divorce in 2016 and alleging that she was physically abused by Depp.
Depp went on to sue the actress for defamation.
In 2022, their legal battle became a publicised court case, and after multiple court appearances, Heard lost the case after the court ruled in favour of Depp.
One year later, Heard paid Depp $1 million (which is approximately R18.3 million) in settlement money, officially closing out their defamation case.

How Cristiano Ronaldo's 50-carat diamond compares with other famous wedding rings

Cristiano Ronaldo proposed to long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez with one of the most spectacular engagement rings ever seen – a dazzling diamond estimated to weigh up to 50 carats and worth around $3 million (R52.5 million). Rodriguez, 31, shared the news of the engagement on Monday via social media with a photo that prominently featured the ring, sparking instant headlines and global fascination. The massive oval-cut diamond stretches to her knuckle and, according to expert appraisers speaking to Forbes , is one of the rarest and most valuable stones in the world. Jewelry specialist Kristian Spofforth of Heritage Auctions estimated the diamond at approximately 50 carats, with a D colour grade – the highest on the diamond color scale – and a likely clarity of VVS1 or better, meaning the stone is nearly flawless. Another expert, gemologist Deborah Villepigue, suggested the centre stone could be even larger, between 55 and 60 carats. Though the metal setting is still unconfirmed, experts noted the elegant and minimal design appears crafted to showcase the diamond's natural brilliance. No official word has been given on the designer, though Cartier has been rumoured to be behind the piece. Rodriguez's ring now ranks among the most iconic engagement rings in celebrity history, eclipsing some of the most talked-about diamonds worn by stars like Mariah Carey, Kim Kardashian, and Lauren Sánchez. It even rivals historic sparklers like Elizabeth Taylor's 33-carat Asscher-cut diamond and her famed 69.42-carat pear-shaped diamond from Richard Burton. Only a handful of celebrities have worn larger stones – among them, Keyshia Ka'oir, who received a 60-carat oval diamond from rapper Gucci Mane in 2019. Love Story in the Spotlight Ronaldo and Rodriguez's relationship began publicly in 2017 and has been closely followed ever since. The couple share five children, including three from Ronaldo's previous relationships. Despite years of speculation surrounding their marital status, the proposal comes after Ronaldo recently referred to Rodriguez as his 'wife' in an interview. However, his publicist later told People magazine there was 'no confirmation' of a marriage at this time. Their relationship has also been chronicled in Rodriguez's Netflix reality series I Am Georgina , which ran for three seasons and gave fans a glimpse into their lavish lifestyle. Cristiano Ronaldo, now 40, continues to break records off the pitch. Ranked by Forbes as the world's highest-paid athlete in 2025, Ronaldo earned an estimated $275 million in the past year alone, with a portion of his wealth stemming from lifetime endorsement deals, including with Nike, and his CR7-branded business ventures. He became the first active team-sport athlete to surpass $1 billion in career earnings in 2020. The $3 million ring, while extravagant, is comparatively small for a man whose career and brand have redefined modern celebrity and athletic success.

Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz-Beckham renew vows, but the Beckham family's absence raises eyebrows

Brooklyn and Nicola Beckham have renewed their vows. Image: Instagram Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz-Beckham renewed their vows on Saturday, August 2, after being married for three years, and the Beckham family was nowhere to be seen. For the couple, it was certainly a significant moment as they celebrated and cherished their love journey. Nicola took to Instagram recently and shared posts of her intimate day, surrounded by close friends and family. She walked down the aisle again in a stunning cream off-the-shoulder gown, which is a repurposed dress that her mom wore when she got married, and it featured floral detailing.

In an interview with 'People' just a few days after the ceremony, Brooklyn said: 'It was beautiful. We just wanted a really beautiful experience, a really cute memory. 'To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they're going to spend the rest of their life with. It definitely shapes you as a person. Yeah, it was really, really cute. It was really fun,' he added. The lovebirds first started dating in October 2019 and then made their relationship Instagram official in January 2020. Seven months later, Brooklyn popped the question. While the vow renewal ceremony was a special occasion for the couple, fans noticed that in the family pictures that Nicola shared, Brooklyn's parents were nowhere to be seen. This raised eyebrows as fans wondered why the Beckhams did not avail themselves for their son's special day. Multiple online reports allege that the Beckhams are chasing the European summer with all their kids. Victoria has been sharing glimpses into their vacation on Instagram as they have fun and make memories without Brooklyn. Early this year, Nicola and Brooklyn did not attend David's lavish 50th birthday party due to claims of ongoing family tensions. Fans flooded the comment section as they asked why the Beckham family did not come to their ceremony. "Where is his family?" a social media user commented. "Where are your in-laws @nicolapeltzbeckham," another asked.

Anthony Mackie remembers friend Malcolm-Jamal Warner

Anthony Mackie recently opened up about his friendship with the late Malcolm-Jamal Warner, describing the actor as 'such a beautiful human being.' Mackie, known for his role in Captain America: Brave New World , reflected on the value of the time they shared. The actor called it 'the most important thing.' Warner, famously known for his role on The Cosby Show , tragically passed away on 20 July in an accidental drowning. He was on a family holiday in Costa Rica. He was 54 years old, according to People . Mackie expressed pride in their friendship, saying, 'I'm proud to say Malcolm-Jamal Warner was a friend of mine. He's somebody that I knew and spent time with.' He emphasised how much he benefited from their interactions. 'Every time I was around him, I was able to take full advantage of those conversations and that time,' Mackie said. The veteran actor also reflected on his relationship with another late icon, Andre Braugher, who died in December 2023 at the age of 61 from lung cancer. Braugher, best known for his role in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, was a mentor to Mackie during his early years in New York's theatre scene. Anthony Mackie recalled, 'To have those lessons and those moments communicated by such an icon in the business. I always tell people to take full advantage of those moments with mentors and truly be yourself.' Stephanie Beatriz, Anthony Mackie's co-star in the Peacock series Twisted Metal , also shared her thoughts on loss and memory. 'Unfortunately, we all go through grief in our lives,' she said. 'And all you have are those memories.' Beatriz added, 'Coming to people in your life with the truest, most honest self as much as you can at all times is going to feed the memories when you lose them. And hopefully feed their memories when someday they might lose you.' The reflections come as the second season of Twisted Metal premiered on Peacock on 31 July. The post-apocalyptic series, adapted from the popular PlayStation game, stars both Mackie and Beatriz and has gained attention internationally. Warner's sudden passing is a loss felt deeply beyond the United States, given his cultural impact and the global reach of The Cosby Show . His legacy is remembered by peers like Anthony Mackie, who highlight not only his talent but his warmth and humanity. Mackie's tribute, 'such a beautiful human being,' resonates strongly with fans who admired Warner's work and character. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
