Amber Heard upped sticks and moved away from Hollywood last year following her high-profile defamation legal battle with ex-husband Johnny Depp, but what is she doing now?

The long-running legal battle between Amber Heard and her ex-husband Johnny Depp ended back in December, with the jury announcing their verdict in Johnny’s favour.

When the battle came to an end, Amber’s insurance company was ordered to pay the huge amount of money to Johnny, which has now been paid to the actor.

Johnny is now said to be planning to donate $1million (£795,000) to charity, which comes just weeks after he stepped out at the Cannes Film Festival.

But what is his ex wife Amber Heard up to now? And what has she been up to since the explosive court case hit the headlines last year?

It has been reported that Amber upped sticks, left Hollywood behind and relocated to Spain, with her breaking her silence on the move just a couple of weeks ago.

Back in May it was reported that Amber had decided to ditch Hollywood life when she sold her Yucca Valley home in California.

Moving to the hot and sunny country with her two-year-old daughter, Oonagh, the mum-and-daughter-duo were spotted out and about in Majorca last year.

At the time a local said that the actress “leads a very normal village life, as if she were a native”.

It was then reported that she had moved to Spain “permanently” with Daily Mail reporting that Amber is “bilingual in Spanish and is happy there, raising her daughter away from all the noise”.

The source went on to add: “I don’t think she is in any hurry to return to work or to Hollywood, but she will probably come back when the time is right for the right project.”

And at the start of June, Amber could be heard speaking out in a TikTok video where she spoke in Spanish and told reporters: “I love Spain so much.”

Asked if she would make the move “permanently” she replied: “I hope so. I love living here.”

With Amber enjoying her new life in Spain away from the hustle, bustle and hassle of Hollywood, the starlet describes herself as both the “mother and father” to Oonagh.

Also in the aforementioned TikTok video, Amber spoke of upcoming projects.

When asked if she was working on anything by a reporter, she said: “Of course. I move on, that’s life.”

Amber welcomed daughter Oonagh Paige secretly on April 8, 2021, with her not sharing the news until months later in July.
