Amber Heard celebrated her 38th birthday on April 22, 2024 in Madrid, Spain.
Heard has kept a low profile since the trial ended and focused on motherhood.

Amber Heard, the actress known for her roles in 'Aquaman' and 'The Rum Diary,' celebrated her 38th birthday on April 22, 2024. The occasion was marked with a surprise serenade from a mariachi band in Madrid, Spain. Heard moved to Spain two years ago for a quieter life with her daughter Oonagh Paige after her defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp.
Heard's birthday celebration was kept low-key, and it is unclear who she spent the day with. She shared a rare photo on Instagram showing herself sipping champagne in an upscale wine cellar, dressed in a shimmery gold turtleneck sweater and accessorized with delicate gold rings, a gold Apple Watch, and several stud earrings. The caption read 'Champagne kind of birthday.'
Heard's move to Europe has allowed her to focus on motherhood and find peace after the tumultuous legal battle. She sold her California home and has kept a low profile since the trial ended.
The defamation trial between Heard and Depp began in February 2019 when Depp sued Heard for $50 million, claiming she had defamed him in a December 2018 Washington Post op-ed about abuse. Heard countersued for $100 million. The trial ended with the jury awarding Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages, while also awarding Heard's counterclaim for defamation against Depp's lawyer Adam Waldman.
Heard and Depp reached a settlement late in 2022. The actress has since moved on from the legal battle and is focusing on her career and family life.
