On Mother's Day, US actress Amber Heard revealed that she is now a mom of three after announcing the arrival of her twin babies.
Heard shared a cute picture of their feet and also added that she now has welcomed the arrival of a boy, named Ocean and a girl, named Agnes.
She captioned her post, 'Mother's Day 2025 will be one I'll never forget. This year, I am elated beyond words to celebrate the completion of the family I've strived to build for years.
'Today I officially share the news that I welcomed twins into the Heard gang. My daughter Agnes and my son Ocean are keeping my hand (and my heart) full,' the now mother-of-three shared.
The 39-year-old further added that when she had her first daughter, who she welcomed in 2021 her world changed forever and she couldn't be happier - now with three children, she is even more happy.
Heard continued to add that despite having fertility challenges, she's grateful to have chosen to do this responsibly and thoughtfully.
According to 'People', Heard's spokesperson shared that the actress is happy and has now completed her family.
"Heard is delighted to welcome the twins and complete her family. Mama and babies are enjoying every minute, and Oonagh is happily running the show,' the spokesperson revealed.
In 2024, according to multiple online reports the actress was expecting another baby. However, Heard did not confirm nor deny the claims.
Heard has been entangled in a legal battle with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, after she filed for divorce in 2016 and alleging that she was physically abused by Depp.
Depp went on to sue the actress for defamation.
In 2022, their legal battle became a publicised court case, and after multiple court appearances, Heard lost the case after the court ruled in favour of Depp.
One year later, Heard paid Depp $1 million (which is approximately R18.3 million) in settlement money, officially closing out their defamation case.

Beyoncé surprises fans with Destiny's Child reunion
Beyoncé delivered a stunning surprise at the final show of her 'Cowboy Carter' Tour in Las Vegas on Saturday, 26 July. The global superstar reunited with her former Destiny's Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, for a memorable performance. Midway through the concert, Beyoncé disappeared briefly from the stage, according to People . Moments later, she reappeared from below, joined by Kelly, 44, and Michelle, 46, as the iconic anthem Independent Women blared through the arena. Beyoncé electrified the audience by exclaiming, 'Destiny's Child, b—!' before the trio strutted the stage together. They launched into a medley of their classic hits, including Lose My Breath , Energy , and the fan-favourite Bootylicious . They closed the set with a warm embrace that symbolised their enduring sisterhood. This reunion marked the first time the trio had performed together since their 2018 Coachella appearance. They thrilled fans who had eagerly awaited such a moment. Beyoncé later urged the crowd to 'Give it up for Destiny's Child!' as they exited the stage. This cemented the evening as a highlight of her tour. Destiny's Child, originally formed in Houston in the early 1990s, rose to international fame with hits like Say My Name and Survivor . The group's journey through changes in lineup ended with the trio of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, who dominated the early 2000s with their blend of R&B and pop. Their final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled, was released in 2004. Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour, supporting her eighth studio album, covered over 30 cities across the United States and Europe. She had shows in major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, London, Paris, Houston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and the grand finale in Las Vegas. Notably, the tour included surprise guest appearances, including Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z and rising star Shaboozey. The reunion also followed several recent sightings of Michelle and Kelly supporting Beyoncé during her tour stops, further building anticipation. Michelle was seen at the Washington, D.C. concert in early July, while Kelly attended the show in Paris in June. The triumphant reunion in Las Vegas reaffirmed the unbreakable bond of Destiny's Child. Beyoncé's closing act was a celebration of legacy, energy, and unity, a message that resonates strongly across the vibrant music scene. As Beyoncé herself put it on stage, 'Look around, it's me and my crew. Big energy!' This extraordinary event was also shared on Beyoncé's social media, where a radiant photo of the trio in shimmering gold ensembles captured the emotion of the night. Michelle tenderly kissed Beyoncé's cheek in the image, a symbol of the genuine warmth between the artists. The reunion was more than a concert highlight; it was a triumphant reminder of music's power to unite and uplift across generations and continents.

Cardi B hit with civil battery lawsuit following 2023 Las Vegas concert incident
Cardi B is being sued by an unidentified woman who claims she was attacked by the rapper with a microphone at a 2023 concert she attended. Image: Image:Instagram/@spicybardi Rapper Cardi B is facing a civil battery (common assault) lawsuit stemming from a July 2023 concert incident at Drai's Beachclub in Las Vegas. The lawsuit, filed by an Ohio woman identified in court records as Jane Doe, alleges that the US rapper threw her microphone into the crowd, striking her after she (Jane Doe) splashed a small amount of her drink toward the stage. According to 'People', the lawsuit claims that the 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker seemed visibly overheated on stage and, while holding a mic, asked the audience to splash her with water. Doe claims she acted in response to Cardi B having encouraged fans earlier in the show to splash water on her to cool off. According to the court complaint, when Doe complied, Cardi B allegedly 'suddenly and forcefully' hurled the mic in her direction, causing a physical impact and emotional distress.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ The complainant is now suing the Grammy-Award-winning rapper for the alleged assault and negligence, which she claims caused her 'severe emotional distress, shock, humiliation, and physical injury'. Additionally, she is suing Drai's management group for negligence. According to the allegations, Cardi B acted in apparent anger and without warning, suddenly and forcefully throwing her microphone directly at Doe, which caused her to experience immediate fear of harm. After the incident, the woman reportedly filed a police report. However, the case was closed due to insufficient evidence, and no further action was taken at that time. Despite the Las Vegas police closing the criminal case due to insufficient evidence, Jane Doe is now pursuing civil action to hold Cardi B accountable. The lawsuit also notes that the microphone was later auctioned for nearly $100,000 (over R1.7 million), which Doe claims further worsened her emotional distress.
