Following the news that Amber Heard has welcomed twin babies, fans have been deep-diving into the American actress' personal life - which includes changing her name and fleeing the States.

The 39-year-old Aquaman star made her latest announcement on Instagram yesterday (11 May), sharing a sweet snap of her newborns' feet.

"Mother’s Day 2025 will be one I’ll never forget," she penned in the caption.

"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."

The Texas-born star - who is already mother to a four-year-old daughter, Oonagh Paige, whom she welcomed via surrogate in 2021 - went on to reveal that she'd welcomed another baby girl, Agnes, and a son, Ocean.

"When I had my first baby girl Oonagh four years ago, my world changed forever," Heard went on. "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. I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully."

Concluding her sweet message, she went on to say: "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."

Despite being born in the US, and boasting a relatively successful Hollywood film career, it is believed that Heard will be raising her family-of-three in Spain, where she has lived since 2022.

That year saw the actress go head-to-head with ex-husband Johnny Depp in a court case that was watched by millions from around the world.

The televised trial - which saw Heard allege that the Pirates of the Caribbean star has been physically and sexually abusive towards her during their marriage - ended in Depp's favour, after he sued her for defamation.

Following the trial, Heard relocated from America to Madrid, Spain.

According to a 2024 report by local news outlet El Diario de Mallorca, prior to moving to the country's capital, she'd lived on the Spanish island of Mallorca, where she'd also taken on a new moniker.

The publication claimed she'd begun going by 'Martha Jane Cannary' - which was actually the real name of gunslinger 'Calamity Jane'.

At the time, PEOPLE also reported that, 'after living in the desert town of Yucca Valley, California, Heard sold her home for $1.1 million and moved to Europe with her daughter'.

The outlet added that a Hollywood insider claimed that Heard made her move across the Atlantic because there was simply 'too much chaos' in America, and that she'd 'lost the case and was treated as such'.

Another source told PEOPLE in 2022 that Heard 'is able to just be a mom there. She is focused on raising her daughter. She spends every day with her girl. They stroll around, visit parks and enjoy family time. Amber is a great mom'.

In September of last year, Hola! reported that Heard was asked about how she felt regarding her ex Depp being in Spain to premiere his movie, Modi, at the San Sebastian Film Festival.

"I'm living here in Madrid, I love Spain," she responded.

"I'm very lucky to be here, and regarding my past, I don't feel like thinking or talking about it, because I'm happy and in peace."
