“Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms,” she said. “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.”Heard also detailed the struggle of welcoming a child while living in the public eye.“A part of me wants to uphold that my private life is none of anyone’s business,” she said. “I also get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this.” View this post on InstagramA post shared by Amber Heard (@amberheard) Story continues below advertisement

Heard has not revealed the identity of her children’s father. She was married to Depp from 2015 to 2016 and after their marriage ended, the pair were involved in two high-profile, years-long series of legal battles in the U.S. and U.K.In June 2022, a seven-person jury in Virginia found both Heard and Depp guilty of defamation. Depp originally sued Heard over a 2018 op-ed she penned for the Washington Post, in which she referred to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” The jury ruled in favour of Depp and awarded the actor US$10 million in damages. Heard was awarded $2 million in a favourable ruling on one of her three countersuit claims.

At the time, Heard said the decision to settle with Depp was “very difficult” and “not an act of concession.”“It’s important for me to say that I never chose this,” Heard wrote in a statement shared to social media. “I defended my truth and in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed.“I make this decision having lost faith in the American legal system, where my unprotected testimony served as entertainment and social media fodder.” View this post on InstagramA post shared by Amber Heard (@amberheard)Lawyers for Depp said the settlement would “formally close the door on this painful chapter for Mr. Depp, who made clear throughout this process that his priority was about bringing the truth to light.” Story continues below advertisement
