LOS ANGELES — Amber Heard marked Mother’s Day 2025 with a deeply personal announcement: the arrival of her newborn twins, a daughter named Agnes and a son named Ocean. The actress shared the joyful news Sunday on Instagram, posting a photo of her babies’ feet and reflecting on a long and private road to motherhood.
“Mother’s Day 2025 will be one I’ll never forget,” Heard wrote in the caption. “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.”
The milestone comes after what sources describe as years of fertility challenges for the “Aquaman” actress. In December 2024, a representative for Heard confirmed to People magazine that she was expecting again, noting at the time that the pregnancy was still in its early stages and that Heard preferred to keep details private.
Heard, 39, has been candid in the past about choosing solo parenthood. In 2021, she welcomed her first child, daughter Oonagh Paige, via surrogate, revealing the news two months after the birth. “I wanted to do it on my own terms,” she wrote in an Instagram post at the time, describing her decision as part of a larger effort to normalize single motherhood. “I hope we arrive at a point in which it’s normalized to not want a ring in order to have a crib.”
The actress has never publicly disclosed the paternity of her children and previously referred to herself as “the mom and the dad.” In a 2023 post from her home in Spain, Heard added, “She’s the boss,” in reference to Oonagh.
While Heard has maintained a relatively low public profile in recent years, her personal life has continued to draw interest. She was last romantically linked to filmmaker Bianca Butti in 2020 and previously dated Elon Musk, art dealer Vito Schnabel, and director Andrés Muschietti.
Heard’s marriage to actor Johnny Depp ended in 2016, and their legal battles drew international headlines. In 2022, a Virginia jury awarded Depp $15 million in damages after a high-profile defamation trial stemming from a Washington Post op-ed written by Heard. She was awarded $2 million in her counterclaim. The pair ultimately settled in December 2022, with Heard agreeing to pay $1 million.
Now, three years later, the actress says her focus is firmly on motherhood. In her Mother’s Day post, she described her new arrivals as the final pieces in a family she has long dreamed of building.
