Without letting the world know, Amber Heard enjoyed some quality time with her daughter Oonagh Paige when she was born on April 8, 2021, as reported by Page Six. It was only when Paige was 3 months old that Heard decided to let the world in on the secret. The reason why she told the media in the first place was that she didn’t want unnecessary rumors to spoil this special time of her life.

Heard wished to keep her life private but her profession does not allow her to do so. The Aquaman actress keeps sharing adorable glimpses of her life as a mother and Paige’s lively childhood. Heard believes that a woman need not be married to enjoy the fruits of motherhood.

Heard chose to go for surrogacy to welcome Paige into the world. She expressed how she wanted to have a child on her own terms and not let anyone dictate how she managed this phase of her life. The process was in the works for a couple of years before Heard finally found the right match and put the entire thing in motion.

The actress is evidently happier and calmer with Paige around. The images she shares on social media keep her fans abreast of what’s going on in the mother-daughter duo’s lives.

After Heard lost her mother back in 2020, she had a tough time reeling with the grief of her death. So when it came to naming her newborn daughter, Heard decided to honor the memory of her late mother and have a fateful connection between the two most important women in her life.

Paige was Heard’s mother’s name. Hence, Oonagh’s middle name pays homage to her grandmother, who she unfortunately won’t be able to meet.

Following the brutal trial and the ceaseless memes and death threats to Heard, the actress deemed it necessary to seek safe harbor. Packing her bags from California, Heard took Oonagh Paige and moved to Mallorca, Spain.

They further moved to Madrid for more privacy and a better environment for Heard’s daughter to grow up in. The newfound energy in the actress’s life is helping her focus on better things and leave the hurtful past behind.
