Johnny Depp's ex-wife announces pregnancy at 38: why her first daughter was born through surrogacy

The ex-wife of American actor Johnny Depp, Aquaman star Amber Heard will b a mother for the second time. The 38-year-old celebrity's pregnancy is quite unexpected news for her fans, as her first daughter was born with the help of a surrogate due to doctors' warnings.

According to People magazine, citing a source close to the actress, she is delighted with the upcoming addition to her family. However, the celebrity did not mentioned any other details about the pregnancy or the baby's father.

"It is still quite early in the pregnancy, so you will appreciate that we do not want to go into much detail at this stage. Suffice to say that Amber is delighted both for herself and Oonagh Paige," the insider said.

Why the actress's first daughter was born through surrogacy

The Hollywood star has a daughter, Oonagh Paige, who was born through surrogacy on April 8, 2021. At the time, doctors told Amber Heard that she would not be able to carry a baby on her own, but this did not stop the actress from wanting to have a child.

"Oonagh is absolutely gorgeous, and Amber is besotted. She always knew that she wanted to be a mom, and this is her greatest wish come true. She’s so grateful to the wonderful woman who helped bring Oonagh into her life. The most important thing for Amber is that she’s open about Oonagh’s birth," the source told Page Six.

Later, the actress herself got in touch. She admitted that she had wanted to become a mother four years before her first daughter was born, so she is very happy about this change in her life. The star noted that at first she thought about keeping the birth of the girl a secret but realized that it was impossible due to her occupation.

Oonagh Paige was born in the midst of a lawsuit between Heard and Johnny Depp. Back then, the Aquaman star accused her ex-husband of systemic violence during their short marriage and filed for divorce. Subsequently, The Sun published an exclusive article, revealing that the actor was a "wife beater." Depp lost a defamation lawsuit twice. He managed to prove his innocence only in 2022.
