A spokesperson later confirmed the health of both babies and their mother.

Amber Heard celebrates motherhood on her own terms amid ongoing public scrutiny

Heard's message stressed her choice to become a mother "and " after dealing with fertility issues. Her view mirrors what she said when her daughter Oonagh Paige was born in 2021: that you don't need to be married to be a parent. By saying this again while announcing her twins, Heard showed her growing family as an example of single-parent households created by choice, not chance. She has talked before about freezing embryos while working abroad planning for future treatments.

The Instagram post didn't give details about the twins' birth or parentage keeping up the same privacy she had when Oonagh arrived. Still, by sharing on a day when social media is full of posts about moms, Heard made sure lots of people saw and supported her news.

She wrote,

"Mother’s Day 2025 will be one I’ll never forget. 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. 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!!!"

Within hours, industry colleagues and reproductive-rights advocates amplified the announcement, praising Heard for foregrounding reproductive autonomy and for publicly acknowledging the medical hurdles many prospective parents face.

Amber Heard's fame stems from her roles in Aquaman, The Rum Diary, and Zombieland, but her personal life often grabs more attention. In 2022, a Virginia jury ruled that parts of her Washington Post op-ed defamed her ex-husband Johnny Depp.

They awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, which got reduced to Virginia's $350,000 cap. The jury also gave Heard $2 million for a smaller counter-claim.

Two years before, Depp had lost a different libel case in the UK against The Sun newspaper for calling him a "wife-beater." These court battles across the Atlantic sparked intense online interest and left both actors dealing with damage to their public image.

Heard chose to announce her twins herself on her own social media avoiding the usual celebrity news channels that used to pick apart every detail of her private life. She kept things low-key – no magazine cover, no paid exclusive – which hints at her aim to take charge of how people talk about her family.

She ended her message by giving a shout-out "to all the moms wherever you are today", linking her personal news to a bigger conversation about who gets to decide when and how to start a family.
