On July 1, 2021, Amber took to Instagram to reveal a photo of her daughter and share the news with her followers. “I’m so excited to share this news with you,” she wrote in the caption.
“Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms. I now appreciate how radical it is for us as women to think about one of the most fundamental parts of our destinies in this way.”
She continued, “I hope we arrive at a point in which it’s normalized to not want a ring in order to have a crib. Apart from me wants to uphold that my private life is none of anyone’s business. I also get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this. My daughter was born on April 8, 2021. Her name is Oonagh Paige Heard. She’s the beginning of the rest of my life.”
Since announcing Oonagh’s birth, Amber has not disclosed the identity of the father of her child. In an Instagram post celebrating Oonagh’s three-month birthday, Amber wrote, “I’m just the mom and the dad. She’s the boss.” The identity of Oonagh’s father remains in public speculation.
