Everything to Know About Amber Heard's Mom Life Away From Hollywood

After reading about these fascinating individuals who have chosen to step away from their respective careers in showbiz, I find myself reflecting on the richness of their lives and the paths they have taken. Each of them has left an indelible mark on their respective industries, yet they decided to embark on new adventures.

In recent times, it was hardly shocking news when Amber Heard suddenly revealed herself as a mother.

Prior to the media’s intense focus on her 2022 court case with former husband Johnny Depp, the actress who plays Aquaman revealed in July 2021 that she had given birth to daughter Oonagh Paige Heard on April 8 through a surrogate.

Four years ago, I made up my mind that I wished to become a parent. I wanted to do so under my own control, he wrote on Instagram then. “I now understand how unconventional it is for us as women to ponder such a significant aspect of our lives in this manner. I hope we reach a stage where it’s considered normal not to need a wedding ring before having a baby crib.

Although she believed that her personal matters should remain confidential, she understood that the requirements of her position necessitated her taking charge of this situation.

To clarify, it’s been verified on December 5th that Amber is expecting her second child. In other words, she’s extremely happy, not just for herself but also for little Oonagh Paige as well.

Well, you know how Amber Heard recently shared on Instagram that her birthday was like sipping champagne? Well, this obsessed fan here is excitedly anticipating that she’ll be ringing in the New Year with a glass of sparkling cider instead! Cheers to a festive, cider-filled celebration for her!

Since then, Heard, who used to be quite active on Instagram with 5.2 million followers, seems to have less inclination to share more about her life due to valid reasons.

But she did start out sharing the occasional snippet from her new life as Oonagh’s mother.

In wrapping up her birth announcement posted on July 1, 2021, she expressed that the baby is the start of the next phase of his life.

Five days after that, she shared a video of herself trying celery juice, accompanied by the caption, “You can remove the girl from LA, but you can’t remove LA from the girl.” At the time, she was residing in Yucca Valley, approximately 120 miles east of Los Angeles, although she didn’t specify her location in the post.

“I’m both the mom and the dad; she’s the one in charge,” He wrote alongside a July 16 photo where Oonagh seemed intensely focused on what was displayed on her mother’s laptop.

On September 25th, she captioned a picture of herself in gym attire, balancing a baby and a weight in different arms, as “The Multi-Tasking Mom.

In February 2022, a photo was taken of a mother and her daughter admiring a desert view, which was labeled as, “My partner in command.” Also, upon turning one, Oonagh’s year was described by Heard as the most remarkable one yet.

Over the coming months of 2022, things took a turn for the dramatic, as the legal battles between her and Depp over their defamation allegations unfolded in Virginia courtrooms, captivating audiences everywhere.

2022 marked a pivotal day for me, an ardent admirer, as the tumultuous saga concluded on June 1st. On this momentous occasion, Amber Heard was held accountable for defaming Johnny Depp in a 2018 op-ed published in the Washington Post. In this piece, she portrayed herself as a symbol of domestic abuse, a public figure. Although his name wasn’t explicitly mentioned, his legal team effectively demonstrated that her words were directed at the actor, contravening our divorce agreement that forbade such public denigration.

I, being an ardent fan, was fortunate enough to receive a whopping $2 million in compensatory damages from my ex-husband, whom I married in February 2015 and divorced just 15 months later. This generous sum came as part of my countersuit, where I accused one of Johnny Depp’s former lawyers of defaming me.

Without further ado, once all discussions about Heard in the court of public opinion were exhausted, she eagerly anticipated dedicating her time to her loved ones.

In her initial interview after the trial, she expressed to Savannah Guthrie of NBC News that she now has the joy of dedicating herself entirely as a full-time mother, no longer needing to balance lawyer calls.

Regarding what she may share with Oonagh concerning the events in the courtroom someday, Heard expressed, “I believe whatever I say will hold significance. I stood up for myself and the truth, and I did everything possible.

After that, she continued with the rest of her life, traveling to Italy to shoot the thriller “In the Fire” during the summer of 2022. The film’s debut on June 23, 2023, at the Taormina Film Festival signified Heard’s first red-carpet event in nearly two years.

Afterward, Luca Calvani from her cast shared that he was comforted by their shouts for her. Following all the harsh words thrown online towards this remarkable woman.

As I found myself standing on the precipice of a daunting trial, I couldn’t help but feel the weight of the looming public scrutiny. The relentless machinery of the media seemed to be gearing up against us, creating an atmosphere that was anything but comforting. In those challenging times, the camaraderie forged during our filming experience served as a welcome respite, providing a much-needed distraction from the storm brewing outside.

In simpler terms, Conor Allyn, the director, expressed that when Heard joined the production, she was an unstoppable powerhouse. Moreover, he hoped for a massive comeback on her part.

She skipped the premiere of “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” last December, putting an end to whispers that she had been removed from the film—which was filmed in 2021—following the trial. She dismissed these rumors as “inaccurate, insensitive, and a touch insane.

During the trial, she admitted that due to allegations against Johnny Depp, her character as Mera, the powerful counterpart of the Marvel hero, had its role reduced in the movie.

She stated that she worked tirelessly to remain part of the movie, but they initially chose not to feature her in the film. (Director James Wan revealed to Entertainment Weekly that the original intention for the sequel was to reduce Mera’s role and focus more on the bromance between Aquaman and his half-brother Orm.)

In January, she expressed gratitude to her fans for their “immense affection and backing” towards her role in the movie, which didn’t achieve the $1.2 billion grossed by the original but earned $439 million globally instead. She posted an old photo of herself feeding a prop baby (Oonagh) during filming on social media.

During this time, Heard felt it was time for a fresh environment, so she relocated to Madrid alongside Oonagh, last year.

In a TikTok video uploaded in late May 2023 (as reported by People), she expressed her strong affection for Spain, saying it in Spanish. When asked about her future plans, she shared that she hopes to continue residing there since she adores life in this country.

As for what she was going to do next, Heard said, “I move on. That’s life.”

Months later, she was thriving there, according to her In the Fire director.

In October 2023, Allyn shared with People that she and her daughter are thriving in Spain, experiencing genuine joy in their current lifestyle.

Previously mentioned, it was stated that upon Oonagh’s birth, she didn’t feel the necessity for traditional marriage to have children. Instead, her strategy to multiply her joy originated uniquely from herself.

Continue below to discover the reasons why some celebrities, either literally or figuratively, chose to depart from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood:

Previously starring in “The Vampire Diaries,” he hasn’t taken on a new acting role since Netflix’s 2019 series “V-Wars.” Instead, this father of two (with spouse Nikki Reed) has chosen to delve more deeply into a personal endeavor – his commitment to addressing climate change by enhancing the quality of our planet’s soil.

In an interview with TopMob News in November 2023, Somerhalder explained that he took a break from acting around four years ago to focus on raising my children, establishing my businesses, and releasing these films,” referring to the launch of the 2020 documentary Kiss the Ground and its sequel Common Ground, which highlight the importance of regenerative farming.

As he gazes into the future, he expressed, “In the years to come, I see myself as a rancher and creator of enduring brand names, be it my bourbon or my health and wellness enterprise. My commitment to regenerative agriculture and soil management practices that our family and I adhere to will also be part of this legacy. That’s the path my life is following. So when others ask ‘Why do you invest your time?’ The answer lies in that question itself, for it defines who I am and what I aspire to become.

Actress who plays a role in “Ant-Man and the Wasp” has declared that she will be temporarily stepping away from her acting career, marking a break after 20 years of work within the film industry.

On June 3, Evangeline posted on Instagram: “I’m overflowing with joy and contentment today as I follow my dreams. I feel so thankful for my blessings. Sometimes, it can be frightening to step away from what appears to be the best choice (wealth and fame), but embracing your life’s purpose replaces fear with a sense of accomplishment.

However, she doesn’t definitively close the door on returning, stating, “There’s a possibility I may go back to Hollywood someday, but for the moment, this is where I find my place.

In a February 2021 episode of her “Empty Inside” podcast, the former iCarly cast member revealed to guest Anna Faris that she chose to step away from acting a couple of years ago and is currently pursuing endeavors in writing, directing, and podcast hosting, among other things.

In her memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died, published in 2022, Jennette openly shared her feelings about her acting career. She expressed regret over the roles she took earlier in her career, feeling ashamed and unfulfilled by them. She found these roles cheesy and embarrassing, even at a young age of 15 when she was already involved in Nickelodeon shows. To her friends at that time, her acting career wasn’t something cool to talk about; instead, it was an embarrassment for her.

In her interview with TopMob News last October, she expressed that writing the book has led her to consider a potential return to acting, but without the heavy burden she had carried for so long. She suggested that if she writes a role tailored for herself, it might be a viable avenue for re-entering the world of acting.

As a die-hard fan, it felt almost instinctive: the chance to unite with Prince Harry, devote my life to championing causes that resonate deeply within me, and be granted access to the Queen’s exquisite collection of tiaras – all this while saying goodbye to the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown seemed like a small price to pay.

After treading the same path as Grace Kelly, who transitioned from Hollywood to the Palace of Monaco, Markle relinquished her Toronto residence and her notable role on Suits, embarking on a life within The Firm. However, with their recent resignation from senior positions, she is gradually returning to business ventures, such as their multi-year partnership with Netflix in media production.

Since my debut in 1994’s “The Mask”, I’ve been involved in over 40 films. By the time filming ended on “Annie” in 2014, I felt it was high time for a change. As I confided in friend Gwyneth Paltrow, I yearned for something different in my life. I had given so much, pouring myself into work, films, for such a long stretch. Making a movie is demanding – they claim you completely, owning your time and energy for extended periods. With no room for anything else, it becomes a grueling grind.

Apart from delving deeper into wellness and writing, as evidenced by her follow-up books after the 2013 New York Times bestseller “The Body Book” (which was “The Longevity Book” in 2016), she also embarked on family life with husband Benji Madden. However, when interviewed by InStyle in 2019, she stated that she doesn’t miss performing. Yet, it seems there might be a possibility of a comeback, as suggested by the hint of an “at least one encore.

In a conversation with TopMob News, Jamie Foxx expressed his enthusiasm about persuading Cameron Diaz to join the cast of their upcoming Netflix film, “Back in Action”. He said, “We humbly requested and showed our admiration, essentially saying, ‘Could you please do it one more time?'” and added, “She’s someone we cherish, someone we’ve longed for, and this collaboration is going to be nothing short of marvelous.

After completing his five-year stint on Empire, the actor firmly declared that there would be no more performances as an encore. When Extra interviewed the Academy Award nominee before the musical drama series’ sixth and last season in 2019, he made it clear that he was finished with acting and pretending by saying, “I’m through with acting. I’ve had enough.

Despite rejoining work for a few productions, he once more declared his intention to retire from acting during the promotion of his Peacock series, The Best Man: The Final Chapters, in 2022. In conversation with ET, he expressed, “I’ve reached a stage where I’ve put forth my finest performance as an actor. Now, I prefer observing fresh talent emerge, and I don’t wish to imitate myself.

After King Joffrey’s sudden, purple-faced demise in 2014, the then-21-year-old actor expressed he was quitting acting. “I’ve been acting since I was 8,” explained the star of ‘Game of Thrones,’ citing that he no longer found it as enjoyable as before.

Initially, acting was more of a pastime, shared with friends and during summer breaks. But now, as I contemplate turning it into a career, the novelty seems to fade somewhat. He explained, “It’s no longer just a fun activity, but rather a potential profession. The shift in perspective is noticeable.” He admitted, “I still appreciate it. However, when something becomes your job, it alters how you perceive and interact with it. It’s not that I dislike it; it’s simply not the path I wish to pursue.

However, following a hiatus of six years, he felt prepared to reclaim his role, and in 2020, he became part of the cast for BBC’s show titled “Out of Her Mind“.

In September 2020, during Jennifer Aniston’s participation in a virtual table read for “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, she married actor Kevin Kline in 1989. They decided to work on different projects so as not to overlap their schedules, ensuring they could both take care of their children, son Owen and daughter Greta (now known by the stage name Frankie Cosmos).

In other words, whenever it was Phoebe’s turn to work, she opted to stay with the children instead. Despite making a brief appearance in Jennifer Jason Leigh’s 2001 indie film titled “The Anniversary Party,” Cates predominantly focuses her time on managing her New York City boutique named Blue Tree.

In the midst of being widely recognized for his roles in “Ghostbusters” and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” the ’80s actor decided to take a break from movie-making shortly after his wife’s death due to breast cancer in 1991, choosing instead to prioritize raising his children Rachel and Mitchell.

Despite not taking on a live-action role since 1997, and turning down a cameo in Paul Feig’s 2016 Ghostbusters remake, he continues to be cherished as a cultural icon, as demonstrated by the response to news of his alleged assault while walking in New York City on October 1.

It’s great news for fans, as he will be back on screen, joining Josh Gad, in the upcoming Disney remake of “Shrunk”.

After tying the knot with fashion designer Adam Kimmel in 2010, the prominent actress from “Never Been Kissed” seemed to hint at a potential departure from movies. In an interview with Vogue, she expressed that most acting roles involve excessive sexual content, which she is not interested in participating in. She compared it to playing with a strange fire, stating that their relationship is robust enough to endure such elements, but if one must walk through fire, there should be something extraordinary on the other side.

Her resolve became firm when her son Martin joined her older daughter Louisanna in 2014. In a conversation with Us Weekly at a 2016 event, she expressed that she no longer engages in movie-related activities and considers herself an outsider. She went on to say, “I am just a mom and an outsider,” implying that she now focuses her time and energy primarily on her children. This shift seems to be the main reason behind her decision to step away from show business.

She had previously watched shows like “Ally McBeal”, “Nip/Tuck”, “Arrested Development”, and lastly “Scandal”. It struck her then that perhaps she was prepared to move on to something new.

In her interview on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2018, she expressed that at around 45 years old, she found herself contemplating, “Is there something new, something really difficult and unique, that I could take on?” She had a sense of what her acting career would entail for the next decade or two, so she chose to leave it behind and start a business instead.

As a committed devotee, I still have one final task at hand for my ongoing venture, General Public – my consumer-art company.

As a devoted fan, I reached out to Mitch Hurwitz, the mastermind behind “Arrested Development”, expressing my decision to step away from acting due to retirement if there’s a fifth season. He responded with an empathetic understanding, fully grasping my situation. Our conversation was enlightening, and to my delight, he later included me in five episodes of the potential new season.

After winning three Academy Awards, one might wonder what else there is left to achieve. Shortly after earning his sixth Oscar nomination for his final film, “Phantom Thread” in 2017, the actor announced that he would no longer be pursuing acting roles. He expressed his deep gratitude towards his collaborators and audiences over the years. This decision was personal and neither the actor nor his representatives will provide any additional comment on this matter.

However, as he believed he had moved on, his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, drew him back into the fold. In October 2024, production company Focus Features declared that the Oscar winner would take on a role in Anemone, a movie he co-wrote with his son, who will also direct it.

As a committed follower might express: In 2018, I decided to step away from the limelight and focus on my education, embarking on a master’s program at MIT. I was blessed to complete my PhD studies there as well. Currently, I am diligently working towards earning a law degree from Harvard Law School.

Not only did Bridgit do this, but she also founded Northwood Space, a company dedicated to constructing ground-based satellite stations for transmitting and receiving space data, assuming the role of CEO in February 2023.
