Surprises aren’t limited to the world of 2024 movies around here, as reality has its own curveballs to throw. One of the latest examples of that practice at work is the recent news that actor Amber Heard is confirmed to be pregnant with her second child. Once news of this blessed event broke to the world, a rep for the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom alum gave some further details, as well as a caveat that stipulates the need for patience in those following the story.
With People reporting on this literally still developing story, word came from a spokesperson connected to the star herself. Here’s what was told to the press:
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.
Amber Heard fans are probably used to these sorts of surprises at this point, as the birth of Heard’s first child, Oonagh Paige, was announced as a bit of a twist before she went off to shoot 2023’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. This in itself was a lovely coincidence, as her character Mera was revealed to have given birth to a son with Jason Momoa’s DC superhero.
This year has certainly been a milder one for Ms. Heard, or at least it is when compared to her protracted legal battle with her ex-husband Johnny Depp. As we’ve seen in Amber Heard’s birthday celebration from earlier this year, she’s both taking time to care for herself, while being mindful of the fans who support her. That only adds further importance to this happy news being brought to the forefront.
As we saw with Heard thanking her Aquaman fans, she knows how to engage those who follow her life journey happily. Her 2023 move to Spain has certainly been a welcomed development as well, especially given that the report of her second pregnancy also cites sources that have noted how happy she seems to be in those surroundings.
Now, with a second child on the way, that happiness stands to grow. But of course, we have to keep in mind that, as Ms. Heard’s rep previously told us, it’s still pretty early in the game.
For those who are now looking to see Ms. Heard in a more maternal light, you can stream Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which is currently available with access to a Max subscription.
We here at CinemaBlend would like to wish Amber Heard and Oonagh Paige nothing but the best in these early days of this pregnancy. And as we learn more about baby no. 2 we’ll keep you updated.
