Amber also took a moment to reflect on first becoming a mother with the 2021 birth of Oonagh, who turned four years old in April.
“My world changed forever,” she said about her firstborn’s arrival. “I thought I couldn’t possibly burst with more joy.”

Despite her own “fertility challenges,” Amber said becoming a mother by herself, “on [her] own terms,” was “the most humbling experience of [her] life.”
“I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully,” she said.
“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,” she concluded.

Critics online turned up the sass while commenting on the news.
“I guess Amber Heard wanted to double down on the drama,” one said.
Some made speculations over the identity of the children's father, questioning whether Elon Musk—who has fathered more than a dozen children with at least four different women—could possibly be Agnes and Ocean's father.

Several others teased Amber for her notorious past allegations about defecating on the bed she shared with ex-husband Johnny Depp.
The allegations emerged during their defamation trial, which became a highly publicized media spectacle in 2022.
“Jesus Christ - I hope someone else does the potty training, she’s clearly not mastered it herself…” read one comment.
Another quipped, “Hope she teaches them not to use the bathroom in the bed…”

“This ‘Rent a womb’ thing and baby buying has gone way too far,” read one comment.

British actress Lily Collins became the subject of heated debates earlier this year when she announced the arrival of her first child with the help of a surrogate mother.
Internet trolls slammed the Emily in Paris actress and her husband, Charlie McDowell, for “buying a human being.”
The criticism was so aggressive that Charlie stepped in and asked netizens not to be “spewing hateful words” in regards to “a beautiful baby girl who has brought a lot of love into people's lives.”

“I'm glad she is moving on and trying to live her life,” one said.
“Congratulations to Amber Heard on the new additions to her family. Wishing her and her children health and happiness this Mother’s Day,” wrote another.

Amber left the US after the trial with Johnny concluded in 2022.
The court battle was the result of an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in 2018.
Even though the piece did not directly mention Johnny, the actor’s legal team said it indirectly referred to their 2016 divorce.
The actor also said some of her statements in the op-ed were false and defamatory.

The trial concluded with a seven-person jury unanimously ruling in favor of the Pirates of the Caribbean actor.
He was awarded $5 million in punitive damages and $10 million in compensatory damages, while Amber was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages.
The actress then relocated to Madrid, Spain, in search of a quieter life.
