Amber Heard welcomes baby girl through surrogacy

Actor Amber Heard is celebrating the birth of a baby girl, months after her ex-husband Johnny Depp lost a libel case involving her.

The 35-year-old actor announced the good news on her Twitter handle on Thursday by posting a picture of herself lying peacefully in bed with her baby girl snuggled up on her chest, reports ETimes.

She wrote a heartwarming note with the image that read, "I'm so excited to share this news with you. Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child."

With the note, she continued to say, "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 normalised to not want a ring in order to have a crib."

She further revealed more details about her daughter saying, "My daughter was born on April 8, 2021. Her name is Oonagh Paige Heard. She's the beginning of the rest of my life."

According to reports, the star welcomed her baby through the surrogacy method and named her little one after her late mother, Paige.
