<a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/amber-heard-returns-as-mera-in-new-aquaman-movie-despite-fan-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amber Heard</a> has reportedly left her acting career in Hollywood behind and relocated to Spain. After a tumultuous few years in the public eye, the 37-year-old Aquaman actress has moved to Madrid with her young daughter Oonagh Paige Heard, according to a source. The insider has claimed to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/usshowbiz/article-12048591/ALISON-BOSHOFF-Amber-Heard-quits-Hollywood-moves-Madrid.html?ito=social-facebook&fbclid=IwAR2Iu_KL2notxZzQk0iQpQ7lqYoFQO6vbAm6mjOV-uQsmmNi7DFsCXNwbFw">Daily Mail</a> that they are a friend of Heard and shared that the actress - who is bilingual in Spanish - is content to raise her two-year-old away from the Los Angeles noise. The friend also told the publication that the Never Back Down star may one day return to her old home in Tinseltown, explaining: "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," per the report. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbxh82QLNHa/]] While representatives for Heard have not confirmed the rumor, the actress notably sold her home in Yucca Valley, California in July 2022 for $1.1 million - nearly double what she initially paid for it. Since then, the Rum Diary star has spent plenty of time in the European country as last year she was pictured on the beaches of Palma de Mallorca. She was also snapped playing with her daughter - whom she welcomed via her surrogate in July 2021 - at a children's park during her Spanish vacation. According to a previous report from the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11294707/Amber-Heard-living-secret-life-Mallorca-rented-luxury-mansion.html">outlet</a>, locals in the small village where the mom of one was spotted described her as being "very polite" and that she "doesn't bother anyone". The actress' alleged move to Spain comes nearly a year after her explosive defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp. <img class="wp-image-1263210063 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/05/HEARDWI-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1704" />[[imagecaption|| Heard after the verdict in her trial against Johnny Depp. Credit: MediaPunch Inc / Alamy]] In June, a Virginia jury <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/johnny-depp-wins-defamation-case-against-amber-heard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">largely sided with the 59-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star</a> and found that his ex-wife had defamed him on three counts in her 2018 op-ed for <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ive-seen-how-institutions-protect-men-accused-of-abuse-heres-what-we-can-do/2018/12/18/71fd876a-02ed-11e9-b5df-5d3874f1ac36_story.html">The Washington Post</a> - where she described herself as a victim of domestic abuse. Despite not naming her ex-husband in her article, the turbulent case concluded with the Fantastic Beasts star being awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, while Heard was granted $2 million in compensatory damages, but no punitive damages. The actress filed an appeal last December, but the former couple recently came to an agreement that Heard would pay $1 million in order to <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/amber-heard-announces-she-will-be-settling-johnny-depp-case-after-it-destroyed-her-life">settle the case</a>. In her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWiuanLXPT/">Instagram statement</a>, she explained to her 5.2 million followers: "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. 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 [...] 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," she added. The Rum Diary star continued: "I make this decision having lost faith in the American legal system, where my unprotected testimony served as entertainment and social media fodder [...] time is precious and I was to spend my time productively and purposefully." <h6>Featured image credit: dpa picture alliance / Alamy</h6>
