Amber Heard shares rare family photos after leaving US and changing her name
Amber Heard has shared a whole load of rare family photos after leaving the United States and changing her name.
The 39-year-old American actress, famous for starring in a number of box-office smashes including Aquaman, Zombieland, London Fields, and Pineapple Express, left Hollywood for Spain following the 2022 defamation lawsuit between her and ex-husband Johnny Depp.
The pair accused each other of domestic violence during their relationship, and Depp then sued his ex-wife for defamation over a 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post about surviving abuse.
The lawsuit resulted in him being awarded $15 million (£12 million), later capped at $10.35 million (£8.27 million), and her receiving $2 million (£1.6 million) in damages.

Heard and her daughter, Oonagh Paige Heard, who was born in 2021 via surrogate, first moved out of the US to Mallorca, and they now reside in Madrid.
The actress surprised fans in May of this year when she announced that she had expanded her family and welcomed twins Ocean and Agnes, also via surrogate.
El Diario de Mallorca previously claimed she'd changed her name to Martha Jane Cannary, the real name of American sharpshooter Calamity Jane, while staying in Mallorca.
While her last film appearance was in 2023's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, she has since appeared on stage in a play by Jeremy O. Harris called Spirit of the People, which she announced on social media in June.
Heard took to Instagram on Thanksgiving (27 November), where she shared a series of snaps with her five million followers, taken over the years of her celebrating the US holiday with her loved ones.
She captioned the eight-photo post: "Thanksgiving cheers over the years. A look back at all the full hearts and plates I’ve shared. Hoping you are well topped up on both this year."
The first photo saw the mum-of-three standing in front of a delicious-looking spread of food, followed by a picture of her proudly showcasing the turkey she'd prepared for the big day.
Other shots showed Heard cooking on the stovetop and preparing food alongside her father, David Heard, in the kitchen.
While she rarely posts about her children on social media, she did include a photo of her child, presumably Oonagh, which was taken when she was a baby.
Earlier this year, Heard announced that she had expanded her family and welcomed her twins, writing in an Instagram post.
"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," she began, alongside a snap of the twins' feet.
"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!!!"
"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 added.
"I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully. To all the moms, wherever you are today and however you got here, my dream family and I are celebrating with you. Love always."
