Amber Heard may now be living largely away from the public eye, but the actress has shown that she still appreciates life’s more luxurious pleasures.

The 40-year-old offered a rare look at her private life in Spain on Wednesday, sharing an Instagram post from a dinner at a three-Michelin-starred restaurant.

In the photo, Heard browsed the wine list at El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, where the restaurant’s festival menu is priced at up to €315 (£259) per guest.

The Aquaman actress captioned the smiling image: “Now this is my kind of wine list.”

Heard was once a regular fixture among Hollywood’s most in-demand stars. In recent years, however, she has traded Los Angeles’ frenetic pace for the quieter surroundings of Madrid.

She has also embraced life as a solo parent, raising five-year-old daughter Oonagh and 17-month-old twins Ocean and Agnes, whom she welcomed “by myself and on my own terms.”

Heard is also believed to be single. Her last publicly known relationship ended in 2021, when she separated from photographer Bianca Butti after a year together.

In April 2021, the actress surprised fans by announcing the birth of Oonagh, revealing that she had kept her pregnancy private.

A source close to Heard said she had welcomed her daughter through a surrogate after being told she would not be able to carry a child herself.

At the time, she wrote: “Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms.

“I now appreciate how radical it is for us as women to think about one of the most fundamental parts of our destinies in this way.

“I hope we arrive at a point in which it’s normalised to not want a ring in order to have a crib.”

The following year, Heard settled a $50 million defamation lawsuit involving her ex-husband, Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp.

After losing the high-profile courtroom battle, which she described as career-ending, Heard sought refuge in Majorca.

She reportedly rented a property using the name Martha Jane Cannary, the real name of legendary Wild West figure Calamity Jane.

Heard later made Madrid her home, settling there with her baby daughter, Oonagh.

The move appeared to be a deliberate attempt to put distance between herself and the fallout from the defamation trial—both emotionally and geographically.

With little fanfare and minimal publicity, the actress left behind her high-speed Southern California lifestyle and began a quieter new chapter in Spain.

‘The trial was beyond stressful, and she wanted to start fresh,’ a source told People magazine, adding she now ‘has new energy and is focused on things that she loves’.

The Texas native has not worked as an actress since the move, with the two films already shot that came out in 2023 being badly received.

Some Hollywood insiders claim she was ‘blacklisted’ following the widely televised trial.

In 2024, it was reported that Ms Heard had become ‘well and truly integrated’ into the Spanish capital’s elite after buying a €1.5million (£1.3million) home in the trendy northern district of Chamartin.

The five-bed property, featuring a garden and three bathrooms, counts millionaires, footballers and politicians as neighbours – who all enjoy being just a short drive from the city centre.

Amber’s pad was first built in the 1960s but reportedly underwent renovations shortly before being sold to the actress.

Speaking on her move, a neighbour in El Viso told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘She lives here and I often see her walking her daughter to school in the mornings.

‘She wears a cap and sunglasses and normal clothes and keeps a low profile.

‘She lives here in peace, this is a neighbourhood filled with famous people, including football players, but no one bothers each other, I think that’s why she likes it – she has completely integrated into the community.’

Amber’s neighbour added: ‘When Amber first arrived there were lots of photographers parked outside the home but now there are none.

‘No one here really knows who she is, they don’t recognise her in the street like they would in America.

‘When I saw all the commotion around her I had to ask my friend who she was and she explained she was Johnny Depp’s ex.’

Pointing to another house, she added: ‘An Atletico Madrid player lives there and no one even knows it, everyone keeps to themselves.’

So committed is she to embracing local culture that Amber has even learned the language, with her impressive command of Spanish evident in a previous TikTok video.

It was reported that Amber’s daughter Oonagh attends a private Catholic school for children aged one to six that teaches in both English and Spanish.

A local newspaper report from 2017 said the fees were around €600 per month, or €7,200 per year, although they are likely to have increased since then.

After picking up her daughter from school in the afternoons, the pair are often seen visiting an American supermarket called Taste of America.

An employee told the Daily Mail: ‘She comes here a lot in the afternoon with her little girl, my colleague has served them many times.

‘I assume she likes to buy things that remind her of home, we have all kinds of stuff from the USA here.’

The store sells Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, Betty Crocker baking products, pumpkin pies and an array of American candy.

Amber herself admitted relief at putting the ordeal behind her and moving on with her life, telling Savannah Guthrie of the US morning show the Today Show: ‘I get to be a mom full-time, where I’m not having to juggle calls with lawyers.’

When she is not blending in with her local community, Amber likes to go running in the famous El Retiro park in the centre of the capital.

She was swamped by paparazzi there following the announcement that she was expecting a second child.

As the photographers congratulated her she responded in Spanish: ‘Thank you very much. It is my private life and I ask for respect.’

When asked if she plans on staying in the country, she replied in perfect Spanish: ‘Yes, I hope so. Yes, I love living here. I hope you are well, ciao. And thank you, nice to meet you.’

Last year, Amber welcomed twins, whom she carried, and announced the news in a Mother’s Day post in May. 

‘Mother’s Day 2025 will be one I’ll never forget,’ she said. ‘This year I am elated beyond words to celebrate the completion of the family I’ve strived to build for years.

‘Today I officially share the news that I welcomed twins into the Heard gang. My daughter Agnes and my son Ocean are keeping my hands (and my heart) full.’

The actress continued: ‘When I had my first baby girl Oonagh four years ago, my world changed for ever. 

‘I thought I couldn’t possibly burst with more joy. Well, now I am bursting times three!!!’

On a more sombre note, she said ‘becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges has been the most humbling experience of my life’.

She added: ‘I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully. 

‘To all the moms, wherever you are today and however you got here, my dream family and I are celebrating with you.’

She concluded her post: ‘Mama and babies are enjoying every minute. And Oonagh is happily running the show.’

The following month, Amber returned to acting after two years, when she had last starred in the movie Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Although her performance was not for a mass audience, she made her stage debut as part of the world premiere production of playwright Jeremy O. Harris’ (Slave Play) new project, Spirit of the People, via Variety.

She performed in the play at the Williamstown Theatre Festival through August. 

Amber then brought her twins, Ocean and Agnes, out in public for the first time as she celebrated Halloween in Madrid that year.

She took to Instagram with multiple photos of her trick-or-treating with the kids, as she was dressed as a witch in a black dress with a pointed hat.

‘Halloweening with my minnies,’ Amber captioned an accompanying post.

In November of that year, Ms Heard gave a rare insight into her family life as she shared an array of unseen photos from Thanksgiving celebrations over the years. 

The actress took to Instagram to share the snaps from her years of family dinners, as well as a rare picture of Oonagh when she was younger. 

The first snap showed Amber posing behind a huge spread, which included sweet potato casserole, turkey and a massive bowl of mashed potatoes. 

In a picture from a different Thanksgiving year, Amber was seen frying chicken in a pan, while in another throwback, she was seen prepping vegetables with her father, David. 

She was also seen serving up food at the table as her daughter Oonagh sat in a high chair when she was still a toddler. 

Amber captioned the snaps: ‘Thanksgiving cheers over the years. A look back at all the full hearts and plates I’ve shared.

‘Hoping you are well topped up on both this year.’ 

Last month, Amber shared another rare insight into her life in Spain, as she posted Instagram snaps with her daughter after completing the KLM Norte Sur 10k race.

While it’s clear Amber has fully moved on with her life since the trial, she made a rare remark on how the 2022 defamation trial has impacted her life years later.

The actress opened up about the topic in the new documentary Silenced, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

‘This is not about me. I have lost my ability to speak. I am not here to tell my story,’ Amber said in a confessional for the documentary, per Variety. 

‘In fact, I don’t want to use my voice anymore. That’s the problem,’ she further told the director of the film, Selina Miles.

Amber and Johnny first met in 2009 when they were cast in the adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s The Rum Diary.

They started dating in 2012 and tied the knot in a civil ceremony in 2015, though the marriage only lasted a year.

Amber filed for divorce and a restraining order against Johnny in May 2016, accusing the actor of being abusive throughout their relationship.

At the time, she said in an interview with Associated Press: ‘I am very happy that I have moved on with my life and keep moving on with my life. I just keep wanting to do with my life that which makes it better for other people and myself.’ 

She continued: ‘And doing the right thing and moving forward and dedicating yourself to justice, truth, to doing what’s right and helping others when you can – that’s everything to me. That’s all I’m interested in.’ 

Following their divorce, Depp filed a 2019 lawsuit against Amber for defamation over her December 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, in which she wrote about alleged abuse.

While she had not mentioned Depp by name, his legal team argued there was ‘a clear implication that Depp is a domestic abuser’.

After a six-week televised battle, Depp was ultimately awarded $10million in compensatory damages and $5million in punitive damages.

Ms Heard counter-sued and was awarded $2million in damages, and while both parties appealed, they settled the case in December 2022.

After they settled, Ms Heard said: ‘After a great deal of deliberation I have made a very difficult decision to settle the defamation case brought against me by my ex-husband in Virginia.

‘It’s important for me to say that I never chose this. I defended my truth and in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed.’

She added: ‘The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways in which women are re-victimised when they come forward.’

She concluded: ‘Now I finally have an opportunity to emancipate myself from something I attempted to leave over six years ago and on terms I can agree to.

‘I have made no admission. This is not an act of concession. There are no restrictions or gags with respect to my voice moving forward.’

The outcome would be the catalyst for geographical change as Amber became the subject of death threats and humiliating memes.

A “cowardly” burglar who headbutted and fatally injured a frail pensioner during a nighttime raid has been jailed after the victim tried to protect his wife.

Ashley Malcom, 40, was sentenced at the Old Bailey to 18 years in prison, followed by five years on extended licence, after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of 86-year-old John Burke.

Malcom attacked Mr Burke after breaking into the home he shared with his 91-year-old wife, Peggy, on Fountayne Road in Hackney, east London, in the early hours of September 29, 2025.

Within hours of raiding the elderly couple’s home, Malcom, from Hackney, also broke into a care home and tried to burgle another flat while its occupants were inside.

During sentencing, Judge Simon Mayo KC said Malcom had embarked on a “sustained course of criminal conduct” during the night of September 28 and 29, 2025. His offending involved breaking into “several” residential properties, including the home of the “vulnerable” Mr Burke.

The judge said: “You entered the home of two elderly and vulnerable occupants. The burglary took place over a prolonged period.

“During the course of that burglary you headbutted Mr Burke. That headbutt fractured his nose and caused intracranial bleeding, and he died as a consequence.”

Judge Mayo acknowledged the “immeasurable” loss suffered by Mr Burke’s family, including his widow, to whom he had been married for many decades.

The court previously heard that Mr Burke was in poor health and living with several medical conditions, including dementia, when the attack took place.

Malcom broke into the property shortly before midnight and remained inside for an hour and a half before leaving with a wheeled shopping trolley.

After leaving the trolley’s contents at another address, he returned at 2.45am and spent a further 20 minutes inside the flat before departing with a box under his arm.

Later that morning, a carer arrived at the flat and saw that a window had been smashed and the kitchen was in disarray.

She found Mr Burke injured. He told her: “Oh thanks you’re here. He attacked me. He beat me up last night around 11pm, a 6ft-tall man. He used to be one of the caretakers.”

Mr Burke told paramedics that two men had headbutted him. He said he had been too frightened to leave his bedroom to call 999 and had waited seven hours for the carer to arrive.

Mrs Burke, who also had dementia, told investigators that she had slept through the attack.

Mr Burke underwent tests at Homerton Hospital but was discharged and returned home at 2.35pm after a locum radiologist failed to detect the bleeding on his brain and his broken nose.

The following morning, his son Sean Burke found him unconscious on the bedroom floor. He was taken back to hospital by ambulance.

Tests confirmed that Mr Burke had suffered a “devastating and irreversible” brain injury, as well as extensive bruising and a broken nose. He later died from his injuries.

After burgling Mr Burke, Malcolm then targeted a residential care home in Hackney at 6.25am. When confronted by a support worker, Malcom ran towards him while making ‘loud groaning noises’.

Just after 6.55am, Malcolm tried to break into a third couple’s home in nearby Stamford Hill with a screwdriver.

The female householder had been in the shower and challenged him wearing just a towel. Her husband ran downstairs armed with a bicycle pump which Malcolm took from him and used to attack him.

Malcolm admitted burgling Mr Burke’s home of various items including food and medication, another burglary and attempted burglary, but denied murder and pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter part-way through his trial.

He also admitted assaulting the male occupant of the flat he tried to break into, causing him actual bodily harm.

Separately, Malcolm had admitted another burglary in May 2025 and an attempted burglary in July 2025 and possession of cocaine.

Judge Mayo noted the defendant’s addiction and mental health difficulties but said his ‘extensive’ history of domestic burglary was a ‘substantial aggravating factor’ in his offending. 

Mitigating, defence barrister Emin Kandola referred to a statement in which Malcolm wrote: ‘I’m very sorry about what happened. It was an accident. I’m very sorry to the family.’

Sean told the court it ‘angered’ him to think about what Malcom put his dad through on the night of the attack. 

He said: ‘My dad did not deserve to die in such a way, he had earned the right to pass away from natural causes in his own silent way.

‘To think that this man felt that he had to attack my dad who was a vulnerable and frail elderly person who would never have been able to fight back. There was nothing of any value in the house as my parents did not have much but they had each other.’

He described his father was a ‘quiet, hard-working, easy-going man,’ adding: ‘He was the man that showed me that hard work, respect, good manners and a good heart would always pay off.’

Reece Lambert, Mr Burke’s grandson, said he believed his grandfather was attacked as he ‘protected the woman he loved with everything he had left’.

He described his grandfather, originally from Dublin, as stoic and quiet with a ‘wicked sense of humour’ and an enduring love for his wife.

Annie Knight married her longtime partner, Henry Brayshaw, on Thursday in an intimate outdoor ceremony on Queensland’s Gold Coast, surrounded by close friends and family.

The 29-year-old adult content creator celebrated her wedding at The Valley Estate, a picturesque nature retreat in Currumbin Valley.

Annie looked radiant in an understated wedding gown featuring a structured bodice, a flowing skirt and an elegant, sweeping train.

She completed the look with a long veil secured to her updo and Jimmy Choo heels.

The bride smiled brightly as she joined Henry at the altar, while he wore a timeless black tuxedo.

Henry paired his white dress shirt with a black bow tie and wore a boutonnière on his lapel that coordinated with Annie’s bouquet.

The couple exchanged vows outdoors with their families present, including Annie’s parents and Henry’s mother and siblings.

Henry became emotional during the vows and was seen wiping tears from his eyes as he spoke to his bride.

Adult star Lily Phillips, who served as one of Annie’s bridesmaids, watched proudly as the couple sealed their marriage with a kiss.

The newlyweds were all smiles when Henry presented Annie with a striking Cartier wedding ring.

Annie’s two Cavoodle dogs also played a part in the ceremony, entering with the assistance of their minders.

Before the wedding, Annie told the Daily Mail that she and Henry had planned the celebration in detail well ahead of time.

The adult star provided a glimpse into how they would be adjusting to post-wedding life. 

‘I will be crying when I read my vows, I wrote them myself, they are five minutes long!’ she said. 

‘We just want it to be the best day. Things will probably go wrong, but that’s life.’

She continued: ‘We have been living together for a year and a half, so we already feel as though we are married! 

‘The thing that will rock us though is the post-wedding depression. My hen’s party was the best day of my life… once it was done, I was so depressed!

‘The only thing getting me through was I still had the upcoming wedding. Once it is done, I will be like, “I have nothing to look forward to anymore!”

‘But wait until you see the afterparty pics!’

After the wedding, the couple will head off for a short honeymoon.  

‘We have got a honeymoon booked! We thought it would be weird to get married… and then just go back to normal life! So, we are going away for a week,’ Annie said.

She then revealed the reasoning behind holding her wedding ceremony on the unconventional date of Thursday, October 1.

‘There was no significance other than we wanted to have the wedding in the dry season… and it looked like a good date!’ she quipped.

Annie opened up about what steps she was taking to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day.

‘I don’t think anything will go wrong, I have everything down pat, I got the run sheet! If anything goes wrong, it is like, “Well, what am I going to do about it!”,’ she joked. 

Annie also shared that her wedding will be an intimate affair filled with only her and Henry’s closest friends and family, including her good pal, fellow adult star Lily Phillips. 

She said she and Henry had been culling their guest list for some time, adding that only their nearest and dearest would be there.

Henry’s estranged cricket star father James Brayshaw was not invited.  

Annie explained that the family rift is nothing new, revealing Henry is no longer close to his father. 

‘He and Henry haven’t had a relationship for a few years, so it is not a shock to us,’ she said. 

‘To be fair, we didn’t actually send him an invite.’

Annie was quick to add her line of work is not behind the estrangement, noting James has never publicly commented on the situation. 

The couple’s intimate wedding comes after they navigated a difficult chapter in their relationship, including Henry’s gambling addiction, which saw him accumulate significant debt. 

Knight became engaged in March 2025 when Brayshaw got down on one knee during a holiday in Los Angeles. 

In June, Annie revealed their wedding was already set to cost $170,000, with the venue alone accounting for $60,000.
