heard welcomed oonagh via a surrogate on april 8, 2021.
the aquaman actress broke the news to her instagram followers three months after her birth, revealing her journey to motherhood had been in the works for a few years. 
alongside a photo of herself cradling the tot on her chest, she wrote, “i’m so excited to share this news with you. four years ago, i decided i wanted to have a child. i wanted to do it on my own terms.”
heard continued her message by saying that she hoped she could “normalize” the idea of having a child without a partner.
“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,” she said.
“a part of me wants to uphold that my private life is none of anyone’s business,” she continued. “i also get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this.”

post-trial, a source told people that heard couldn’t wait to get out of the united states, where her every move, including her hunt for bargains at a t.j. maxx, continued to make headlines.

meanwhile, depp, 61, said in a new interview with the hollywood reporter earlier this fall that he bared no ill will after her allegations of abuse saw him become a pariah in the movie industry.
“i don’t have this great reserve of hatred, because hatred requires caring. why carry that baggage?”
following his vindication, depp has attempted to rebuild his hollywood career by taking on smaller films, playing king louis xv opposite costar and director maiwenn in jeanne du barry and directing modi – three days on the wing of madness, with riccardo scamarcio in the lead and al pacino co-starring.
depp went on to add that he’s come to accept that the drama that followed him during the trial will be something that he’ll always be associated with.
“on some level, it is gonna be around … it’s like o.j. or something. but hey, it just happened. that’s all,” he said.
