Heard had previously told Marie Claire in 2015 that she would love to have children. At the time, the actress was a stepmother to then-husband Johnny Depp’s kids, Lily-Rose and Jack. She told the magazine that being a stepmother was “an honor and the greatest, most surprising gift I have ever received in my life … I feel new flavors that I didn’t know existed. New colors that I didn’t know existed have been added to my life. I’m so happy.” Years after The Rum Diary costars split in 2015, Heard decided she wanted to have a child. Introducing her daughter in July 2021, the actress wrote: “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. A part of 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.” Get to know Amber Heard’s daughter, whom she’s gushed is “the beginning of the rest of my life.”
