The internet is in shock about Amber Heard’s second baby. People reported yesterday that she is expecting her second child.

A spokesperson for Heard said that the actress is ‘delighted’ to have her second child. The rep said: “It is still quite early in the pregnancy, so you will appreciate that we do not want to go into much detail at this stage. Suffice to say that Amber is delighted both for herself and Oonagh Paige.”

Heard is already a mother to her three-and-a-half-year-old daughter Oonagh Paige who she had via surrogacy. Previously, she dated Telsa founder Elon Musk and former ‘World’s Richest Person’.

Heard’s pregnancy does come as a bit of a surprise to the internet. Following her highly publicized defamation trial against ex Johnny Depp, she moved to Spain and has since lived under the radar with her daughter.

The internet’s reaction to Amber Heard’s second baby

As a polarizing figure already, the reaction to Heard’s pregnancy was a mixed bag. Some responses were positive, with some users wishing Heard well. One user on X said: “Omgg congratulations and may she have this baby in peace!!!”

Another congratulated the mom-to-be: “She keeps winning, love to see happiness in her life.” 

A recurring theme in users’ reactions was their comical references to the actress as ‘mother’. Yes, Stan Twitter never dies, even when it’s been rebranded as X. 

Not all reactions on X came across as positive. “Amber Heard pregnant? Pity that dude,” another user commented.

Negative reactions to Heard expecting her second child were littered with comments about Depp.

One user said: “Condolences to the child. We stand with Johnny.”

One user even implied Heard’s team announced the news at a convenient time with Depp possibly returning to Hollywood. A new Pirates of The Caribbean movie in the works has revived hope that the star will return to the franchise as Jack Sparrow. However, nothing has been confirmed, so hold onto your pirate hats, folks.

So… why the reaction?

The controversy surrounding the Depp versus Heard trial is the most likely cause of the negative reactions to Amber Heard’s second baby.

The judge in the Depp-Heard trial ruled that Heard had defamed Depp in a 2018 op-ed. As a result, Depp was awarded $10 million. Although Heard won $2 million on one count of defamation against Depp’s press agent, who implied her allegations against Depp were false.

Since the trial ended, reactions to Heard have been positive and negative. Last year, reports claimed she moved to Spain because of the stress from the trial. A source told People that Heard “lost the case and was treated as such,” adding that “she felt like a pariah.”

Whether you like her or not, you need to chill out on the X reactions, people. 

Listen, Heard’s baby news isn’t just your hot topic – it’s a life milestone. Think about what you say, take a breath, skip the drama, and let her enjoy her growing family.
