NEED TO KNOW
Amber Heard’s heart is “full” this Thanksgiving.
To mark the holiday on Thursday, Nov. 27, the actress shared a series of throwback photos on Instagram of Thanksgiving celebrations from over the years. One image revealed a rare glimpse of her life as a mom. Her daughter Oonagh, now 4, can be seen sitting in a highchair at a table covered with a holiday feast, including two turkeys and roasted vegetables.
The then-toddler wore a colorful bib as her mom served her a small plate of food.
Other photos in the carousel show Heard, 39, cooking at the stove and posing in a kitchen with loved ones. In the background is a glimpse of a refrigerator covered with Polaroid photos of the actress with friends and family.
“Thanksgiving cheers over the years. A look back at all the full hearts and plates I’ve shared,” Heard wrote in the caption, adding, “Hoping you are well topped up on both this year.”
Heard is mom to three kids: Oonagh and twins Ocean and Agnes. She quietly welcomed her firstborn in April 2021.
When she later announced Oonagh’s birth on Instagram in July of that year, the Aquaman star detailed her decision to have a child on her “own terms.”
“Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms,” she wrote at the time. “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 normalized to not want a ring in order to have a crib.”
Alongside a photo of Oonagh snuggling on her chest, Heard added of her daughter: “She’s the beginning of the rest of my life.”

In May 2025, Heard revealed that her family of two had become four with the birth of her twins, son Ocean and daughter Agnes.
“Amber is delighted to welcome the twins and complete her family,” a spokesperson for the actress told PEOPLE exclusively at the time. “Mama and babies are enjoying every minute. And Oonagh is happily running the show.”
Heard also announced the happy news on Instagram, sharing a photo of the babies’ tiny feet.
“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 hands (and my heart) full,” she wrote.

“When I had my first baby girl Oonagh four years ago, my world changed forever,” she continued. “I thought I couldn’t possibly burst with more joy. Well, now I am bursting times three!!!”
As with Oonagh’s birth, Heard once again reflected on her choice to take on motherhood on her own.
“Becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges has been the most humbling experience of my life,” she wrote. “I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully.”
Last month, Heard gave fans a look at her Halloween celebrations with her three kids. In a pair of photos shared on Instagram, the Hidden Palms actress could be seen dressed in a black witch costume, holding a twin in each arm. One appeared to be wearing a spider costume, while the other sported a pumpkin look.
Big sister Oonagh matched her mom in a witch costume, complete with black-and-white striped tights and a tall, pointy hat.
