Amber Heard is giving fans a rare look at her life far from Hollywood. The rare social media update comes as the actress continues to live a largely private life overseas following her highly publicized legal battle with ex-husband Johnny Depp.
The actress took to Instagram on Sunday to celebrate a personal milestone after completing the KLM Norte Sur 10K race in Madrid, sharing a series of photos that highlighted both the accomplishment and her life as a mother of three.
“First race glow,” Heard captioned a smiling post-race photo of herself dressed in a pink sports bra and matching jogging shorts.
Heard Celebrates Finish Line Moment With Her Daughter
In addition to her Instagram post, Heard shared several moments from race day on her Instagram Stories. One image showed the actress smiling into the camera after completing the event, while another featured a sweet moment with her eldest daughter, Oonagh.
The actress could be seen cradling the 5-year-old after crossing the finish line. “Nothing beats this feeling,” Heard wrote across the photo.
Heard is also the mother of 12-month-old twins, Agnes and Ocean, whom she has largely kept out of the public eye.
Running Has Long Been One Of Amber Heard’s Favorite Outlets
The actress has previously spoken about her love of running and the role it plays in maintaining both her physical and mental well-being. “I like running because it’s a way for me to alleviate stress, clear my mind, and refocus,” Heard told SHAPE magazine in 2018. “Plus I can do it anywhere. I travel so much that it’s invaluable to me to have something that keeps me healthy and feeling good no matter where I am.”
Heard has often been photographed jogging through Madrid since relocating to Spain and appears to have made fitness a regular part of her routine. While discussing fitness, Heard previously explained that she no longer believes in chasing unrealistic standards at the expense of happiness.
“If you’re not going to enjoy life, there’s no point in eating a certain way and working out and doing all the things actors do to manipulate how we look, and how the world looks at us,” she said, adding that she prefers to make exercise a natural part of her daily life rather than treating it as an obligation.
Heard’s Life Changed After Her Legal Battle With Johnny Depp
Heard has largely remained out of the spotlight since the conclusion of her highly publicized defamation trial against Johnny Depp in 2022.
The former couple’s defamation trial took place in Virginia after Depp sued Heard over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she described herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse. Although Heard did not name Depp in the article, he argued that the piece damaged his reputation and career.
The televised trial lasted six weeks and featured explosive testimony from both actors. Heard accused Depp of physically, emotionally, and sexually abusing her throughout their relationship. Among her claims were allegations that Depp struck her during arguments, threw objects, damaged property during heated confrontations, and assaulted her during a trip to Australia in 2015.
Depp denied the allegations and argued that he was never physically abusive toward Heard. His legal team instead claimed that he was the victim of abuse during the relationship, pointing to audio recordings, witness testimony, and incidents in which Depp alleged Heard became physically violent.
One of the most heavily discussed pieces of evidence during the trial was a 2016 video showing Depp slamming kitchen cabinets while appearing visibly upset. Jurors also heard audio recordings of arguments between the former spouses and testimony from friends, employees, medical professionals, and family members who offered differing accounts of the relationship.
Amber Heard Relocated To Spain Following Johnny Depp Trial
After the verdict, the actress spent time living in Mallorca before eventually settling permanently in Madrid, where she has focused on raising her children away from Hollywood.
In a 2023 TikTok video, Heard spoke with local reporters in Spanish and expressed her appreciation for her new home. She said she “loves living” in Spain and indicated that she planned to remain there long-term.
Since then, public appearances have been relatively rare, making her latest race-day update a notable glimpse into her life abroad.
