Amber Heard has just revealed some very joyous and very surprising news: She is now a mother!
The 35-year-old star of Aquaman made the happy announcement through a series of social media posts on Thursday, July 1. In her posts, Amber confirmed that she is now mom to a precious baby girl.
Amber shared a sweet photo of her and her baby daughter. Along with the photo, she wrote:
“I’m so excited to share this news with you.”
Here is the rest of her powerful message:
“Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. 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 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 concluded by lovingly introducing her beautiful bundle of joy:
“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.”
According to Page Six, Amber named her baby girl after her late mom, Paige.
Sources have further revealed that Oonagh Paige was born via surrogate, after Amber found out that she will never be able to carry her own baby.
An insider also told Page Six:
“Oonagh is absolutely gorgeous, and Amber is besotted. She always knew that she wanted to be a mom, and this is her greatest wish come true. She’s so grateful to the wonderful woman who helped bring Oonagh into her life. The most important thing for Amber is that she’s open about Oonagh’s birth.
There are so many women who feel they can’t talk about their fertility and are worried and embarrassed: Amber wants them to feel supported and realize that there are a multitude of ways to have a baby even if you have fertility issues.”
Congratulations to the happy new mom!
