The actress shared an image of her baby on social media

Amber Heard has revealed that she has become a mother for the first time.

The 'Aquaman' star shared a post of her cuddling the newborn on Instagram. Amber Heard welcomed her first child via surrogate.

The baby was born on April 8th, 2021.

Amber has named her daughter Oonagh Paige Heard. The name is a nod to Amber's mother Paige, who passed away in May 2020.

Amber Heard wrote on her Instagram post: "I’m so excited to share this news with you. 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 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.

"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."

Heard remains embroiled in legal battles with ex-husband Johnny Depp after coming forward with domestic violence allegations.
