Amber Heard’s highly publicized trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp may have marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life. The actress has seemingly stepped away from the spotlight, relocating to Spain with her daughter and adopting a more private lifestyle.
Heard’s decision to move to Spain follows her loss in the defamation case against Depp in the US. The case, which drew widespread media attention, centered on an op-ed piece Heard published in The Washington Post in 2018, in which she claimed to be a survivor of domestic abuse. Although Depp was not explicitly named in the piece, he sued Heard for defamation, leading to a lengthy and highly publicized trial.
Since the trial’s conclusion, Heard has maintained a low profile, avoiding the spotlight and focusing on raising her daughter. A source close to Heard reported that she spends her days strolling with her daughter, visiting parks, and enjoying family time. “Amber is a great mom,” the source noted.
Heard’s relocation to Spain has also involved a change of identity. The actress has reportedly adopted the name Martha Jane Cannary, the real name of the legendary American sharpshooter Calamity Jane. This choice of identity has drawn attention, particularly given Depp’s claims of Native American ancestry.
For now, it seems that Heard has no plans to return to acting. Her IMDB page lists no upcoming projects, and she appears to be focused on her life as a mother and private individual. Whether this marks a permanent departure from Hollywood remains to be seen, but for now, Amber Heard seems content to prioritize her family and personal life.
