She took to Instagram and penned a heartfelt post accompanied by a picture of the little ones' feet, and wrote, "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 hands (and my heart) full."
Amber, who became a mom for the first time in mid-2021 and announced her daughter Oonagh's arrival via surrogacy in an Instagram upload, recently reflected that she had chosen motherhood "responsibly and thoughtfully" and "couldn't burst with more joy."
Amber wrote, "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."
Where is Amber Heard now?
Amber left Hollywood and moved to Spain after the extremely public and high-profile legal battles with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp.
What is Amber Heard's net worth?
During the $50 million defamation case against Johnny Depp, evidence disclosed particular information about Amber Heard's net worth.
The actress is said to have earned a total of $10 million in pre-tax income from 2013 to 2019, which came from various sources including movie contracts (for instance, she received $1 million for her role in the first Aquaman film and has a guaranteed $2 million for the upcoming sequel), television roles (she earned $200,000 per episode for the miniseries The Stand), and beauty endorsements (which included a $1.625 million contract with L'Oreal over two years), among others.

Nevertheless, Heard's estimated net worth in 2023 was significantly lower than that multi-million-dollar figure, reportedly sitting at $500,000. In 2024, her net worth was expected to reach $1 million, marking a substantial drop from her previous net worth of $11 million.
How much did Amber Heard have to pay Johnny Depp?
Following the Depp v. Heard case, Amber Heard was ordered to pay her husband a $1 million settlement, which was reportedly covered by her insurance company.
When the couple first split in 2016, Heard accused Depp of domestic violence and filed a restraining order against the actor. Depp later sued The Sun and its parent publisher for libel for calling him a "wifebeater," which he lost, and the Pirates of the Caribbean star was denied an appeal in the case.
Depp then sued Heard for $50 million for defamation stemming from a 2018 op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in which she never names Depp but describes the public consequences she faced as a survivor of alleged sexual violence.
Heard countersued for $100 million, alleging that Depp's lawyer defamed her when he said her domestic violence allegations were a "hoax."
After six weeks of testimony, a Virginia jury ruled in June 2022 in favor of Depp, awarding the actor $10 million in compensatory damages, as well as $5 million in punitive damages to be paid by Heard, for a total of $15 million. (Those punitive damages were reduced to $350,000 by Judge Penney Azcarate in compliance with Virginia law.)
The jury also ordered Depp to pay Heard $2 million in compensatory damages.
However, in December 2022, following several appeals by both Heard and Depp, the actress announced on Instagram that she had agreed to a much-reduced settlement to end the Depp v. Heard case once and for all.
Amber declared her decision on social media, writing, "After a great deal of deliberation, I have made a very difficult decision to settle the defamation case brought against me by my ex-husband in Virginia.'
She added: "This is not an act of concession."
She continued, "I exhausted almost all my resources in advance of and during a trial in which I was subject to a courtroom in which abundant, direct evidence that corroborated my testimony was excluded and in which popularity and power mattered more than reason and due process. In the interim I was exposed to a type of humiliation that I simply cannot re-live."
She went on, "For too many years I have been caged in an arduous and expensive legal process, which has shown itself unable to protect me and my right to free speech.
I cannot afford to risk an impossible bill—one that is not just financial but also psychological, physical and emotional. Women shouldn't have to face abuse or bankruptcy for speaking her truth, but unfortunately it is not uncommon."
