Amber Heard relocated to Spain with her 2-year-old daughter, Oonagh, following her defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp — and she’s thriving in the new locale.
“Amber is living her best life,” a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly, noting that the Aquaman star, 36, felt like “a pariah” after the highly publicized court battle ended with a jury siding with Depp, 60, in June 2022.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor — who was awarded $15 million in damages — originally sued Heard for defamation in 2019 over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she referred to herself as a domestic abuse survivor. The exes, who were married from 2015 to 2017, both took the stand during the 2022 court proceedings.
“The trial was watercooler conversation, and the energy around it was so intense,” the source explains. “[Amber] felt like people were always talking about her and just needed to get away.”
The insider adds that the Drive Angry actress “has been so much happier” since moving: “She’s still recovering from the trauma of the trial, but it’s been so healthy to get away from all the noise.”
Heard spoke out about the backlash to her testimony during a June 2022 appearance on Today. “I think the vast majority of this trial was played out on social media. I think that this trial is an example of that gone haywire, gone amok. And the jury’s not immune to that,” she said at the time.
The Texas native — who quietly welcomed Oonagh via surrogate in April 2021 — also opened up about seeing her ex-husband’s fans gather both inside and outside of the courthouse to support him.
“After three and a half weeks I took the stand and saw just a courtroom packed full of Captain Jack Sparrow fans who were vocal, energized,” she said.
