“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.”

Concluding her announcement, Heard wrote: “My daughter was born on April 8, 2021. Her name is Oonagh Paige Heard. She’s the beginning of the rest of my life.”

“It’s hard to imagine that it has been a year. The woman who made me - and made me who I am - left us far too early but is remembered every single day,” she wrote at the time. “She lives in my soul and is carried in my heart. She taught me everything i know about kindness and love and gave me my heart. I miss her every day but I am lucky to have had her love for as long as I did. And for every day that I can’t tell her that in person, I look up and thank her beautiful memory which shines on me and my sister Whit and binds our family together with her spirit.”
