Congratulations are in order for Amber Heard, who is expecting her second child.

A spokesperson for the 38-year-old Aquaman actress confirmed she's expanding her family, noting they "do not want to go into much detail" about it at this stage as it's "still quite early in the pregnancy".

"Suffice to say that Amber is delighted both for herself and Oonagh Paige," the spokesperson told People.

Heard welcomed her three-year-old daughter Oonagh Paige on April 8, 2021, something she revealed three months after her birth.

"Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms," Heard wrote on Instagram on July 2, 2021, announcing Oonagh Paige's arrival to her millions of followers.

"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.

"I hope we arrive at a point in which it's normalised to not want a ring in order to have a crib."

"A part of me wants to uphold that my private life is none of anyone's business," Heard's announcement continued.

"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."

Less than one year after Heard's announcement, she became embroiled in a contentious defamation trial in Virginia against her ex-husband Johnny Depp.

After the highly-publicised legal battle ended, Heard moved to Madrid, Spain, for a quieter life.

"I get to be a mum, like, full-time, you know? Where I'm not having to juggle calls with lawyers," she told NBC News' Savannah Guthrie in an interview in June 2022 after a jury overwhelmingly found in Depp's favour following two days of deliberations.

She had previously been vindicated in 2020 in a separate libel lawsuit filed in the United Kingdom by Depp against The Sun.

In December 2022, Heard confirmed she had dropped her appeal of the verdict and settled her case against Depp.

Months later, in October 2023, In the Fire director Conor Allyn shared somewhat of an update on Heard's life in Spain while promoting the film.

"Amber's such a dedicated mum," Allyn, who directed Heard in the film, told People, noting "she is really good about making the time" for Oonagh Paige while working.

He also told the outlet: "She's living her best life in Spain with her daughter and just finding happiness in that way."
