Amber Heard Welcomes Twins in Heartfelt

May 11, 2025

Amber Heard shared a joyous update with her fans, announcing the arrival of her twin babies, a daughter named Agnes and a son named Ocean. The 39-year-old actress, already a mother to 4-year-old daughter Oonagh Paige, took to Instagram to celebrate the completion of what she described as her “dream family.” The announcement, accompanied by a tender photo of the twins’ tiny feet alongside their big sister’s, marked a significant milestone in Heard’s journey as a mother.

“Mother’s Day 2025 will be one I’ll never forget,” Heard wrote in her emotional post. “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.” She reflected on the transformative experience of motherhood, noting that welcoming her first daughter, Oonagh, in 2021 had changed her world forever. “I thought I couldn’t possibly burst with more joy. Well, now I am bursting times three!!!” she added.

Heard’s journey to motherhood has been deeply personal and, at times, challenging. In her post, she opened up about overcoming fertility struggles, emphasizing her choice to become a mother on her own terms. “Becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges has been the most humbling experience of my life,” she shared. “I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully.” Her words echoed sentiments she expressed in 2021 when announcing Oonagh’s birth via surrogacy, highlighting her belief that women should not need a partner to build a family. “I hope we arrive at a point in which it’s normalized to not want a ring in order to have a crib,” she wrote at the time.

The actress’s spokesperson confirmed the happy news to PEOPLE, stating, “Amber is delighted to welcome the twins and complete her family. Mama and babies are enjoying every minute. And Oonagh is happily running the show.” The twins’ arrival follows a December 2024 report from PEOPLE that Heard was expecting another child, though she had kept details private at the time. The spokesperson noted then that Heard was thrilled for both herself and Oonagh, who has embraced her role as big sister.

Heard’s announcement comes as she continues to embrace a quieter life in Madrid, Spain, where she relocated in 2022 following her high-profile legal battles with ex-husband Johnny Depp. The defamation trial, which concluded with a jury awarding Depp $10 million in damages and Heard $2 million in a countersuit, prompted her to step back from Hollywood’s spotlight. Since settling in Spain, Heard has focused on raising Oonagh and now her twins, finding joy in a more private existence. In 2023, director Conor Allyn, who worked with Heard on the thriller In the Fire, told PEOPLE that she was “living her best life in Spain with her daughter and just finding happiness in that way.”

In her Mother’s Day post, Heard extended a heartfelt message to other mothers, writing, “To all the moms, wherever you are today and however you got here, my dream family and I are celebrating with you. Love always, A x.” The sentiment resonated with fans, many of whom took to social media to congratulate her. One X user wrote, “Amber Heard welcoming her twins on Mother’s Day… that’s literally mother,” while another expressed, “On this Mother’s Day, Amber Heard announced the birth of her twins; a healthy baby girl and boy named Agnes and Ocean. They join their big sister, 4-year-old Oonagh. Congrats! My heart is full.”

Heard has not publicly disclosed the identity of the twins’ father, maintaining the same privacy she upheld with Oonagh’s birth. In 2021, she described herself as both “mom and dad” to her daughter, underscoring her commitment to raising her children independently. Her move to Spain, first to Mallorca and later to an upscale neighborhood in Madrid, has allowed her to create a nurturing environment for her growing family, away from the chaos of her past public life.

The names Agnes and Ocean carry special significance. Agnes, a Greek name meaning “pure” or “holy,” and Ocean, a gender-neutral name derived from the Greek word for the sea, reflect Heard’s thoughtful approach to her children’s identities. Fans celebrated the unique choices, with one X post exclaiming,

“Amber Heard just announced she had twins one boy and one girl,” accompanied by a joyful reaction.

As Heard embarks on this new chapter, her focus remains on her children and the family she has worked tirelessly to build. With Oonagh “happily running the show” and the twins filling her heart, Heard’s dream of a complete family has come to fruition, making Mother’s Day 2025 a truly unforgettable celebration.
