After the well-known defamation trial with Johnny Depp, Amber Heard now seems to be focusing more on being a mom and living a less public life. Images from Spain show a content Cathal wearing a big smile as she plays with her daughter Oonagh Paige.
During candid moments at a water park, Heard was makeup-free and looked relaxed which was a big contrast to the intense attention she received before and during the trial.

Heard had mentioned that she wanted to put acting aside for a while to focus on her kid and it seems she is doing just that. It appears that, at this time, she is avoiding the Hollywood scene to spend longer time in Spain.
Although this gives her greater privacy, it also makes people wonder about her future ambitions. Even if she returns, it is likely that she will still face law and financial challenges. Having been made to pay Johnny Depp $10 million, Heard sold her home in California and declared bankruptcy as a result of the ongoing effects the trial has had on her.

Since then, December 2022, when her defamation case was settled and announced on Instagram, Heard has not updated her accounts on any platform.
Those close to her state that she shields her identity in Spain, hoping the intense media interest from the trial will go away. She reportedly finds peace and routine in Europe which gives her the chance to focus only on being a mother without constant attention.

So far, there is no proof that Heard will begin acting again in the foreseeable future. No one knows if she will ever live in the United States again.
Her daily life indicates that she is working to stay away from the aspects of the industry that were involved in the recent turmoil. She is concentrating on her daughter and beginning anew, preferring to keep things peaceful, private and as she wishes.
