Amber Heard Stays Active in Madrid Amid Pregnancy and Legal Battles

Amber Heard, 38, has been spotted maintaining an active lifestyle in Madrid, Spain, during her early pregnancy. The actress, who resides in the city with her 3-year-old daughter Oonagh Paige, was photographed running in El Retiro, one of Madrid’s most popular parks. Heard wore a black training jacket, navy tights, and running shoes, completing her outfit with a cap and headphones.

Heard’s pregnancy was confirmed in early December, though she has chosen to keep details private. A representative told PEOPLE, “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.”

Since her highly publicized legal battle with ex-husband Johnny Depp, Heard has largely avoided the spotlight. However, she recently resurfaced to comment on a Hollywood legal case involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Baldoni, who directed Heard in the film “Drive Angry,” is currently engaged in a lawsuit and has hired the same PR team that represented Depp during his case against Heard.

In a statement to NBC News, Heard criticized the role of social media in spreading misinformation, saying, “Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying ‘A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on.’ I saw this firsthand and up close. It’s as horrifying as it is destructive.”

Heard has embraced a quieter life in Madrid, where she purchased a $1.5 million home in the upscale Chamartín district. According to the Daily Mail, she has integrated into the local community, often seen picking up her daughter from a bilingual Catholic school and shopping at an American supermarket. Neighbors describe her as low-profile and unrecognizable to most locals.

When asked by paparazzi if she plans to stay in Spain long-term, Heard reportedly responded affirmatively. Her life in Madrid stands in stark contrast to her previous Hollywood lifestyle, as she focuses on motherhood and staying out of the public eye.
