The move to Spain follows the tumultuous legal battle that pushed Heard and Depp into the public eye, with their relationship being scrutinized under a microscope. The trial, which ultimately ended in Depp’s favor, marked a turning point for Heard.
After the courtroom drama, the actress chose to seek solace and start a new chapter in Spain with her daughter, finding the peace she longed for. Recently, the actress was spotted strolling through the picturesque streets of Madrid with her three-year-old, who couldn’t help but savor a cookie as they walked side by side.
Heard, known for her laid-back yet chic style, didn’t disappoint. She sported a breezy sky-blue top, perfectly paired with a figure-flattering beige pencil skirt. To complete the look, she opted for brown flat sandals and a matching handbag—proving once again that elegance is her signature.
As for her hair, Heard let her loose waves cascade naturally. On the other hand, her daughter, she charmed onlookers in an adorable light-colored dress, her hair styled in a cute pussycat look.
This rare mother-daughter outing didn’t go unnoticed. Fans quickly took to social media to express their admiration for the star’s simple yet stunning appearance.

Interestingly, Heard and Depp now find themselves in the same country, separated by just five hours. Depp recently touched down in Spain to attend the world premiere of his new film “Modi” at the San Sebastian Film Festival.

The 61-year-old actor was seen greeting fans at his hotel on Spain’s northern coast on Monday, September 23. This is the same day Heard was spotted enjoying time with her daughter. Heard, who moved to Mallorca in late 2022 before relocating to Madrid, was asked how she felt about her ex being so close.

Her response was brief, “I’m living here in Madrid, I love Spain. I’m very lucky to be here, and regarding my past, I don’t feel like thinking or talking about it, because I’m happy and in peace.” Clearly, Heard is focused on the present and her peaceful life in Spain.
Depp, when asked about his own life, also had something to say. Even though he didn’t mention names, he seemed to reference his former relationship with Heard.

“Each [character] has their story because I’m sure we can say that I’ve been through a number of things here and there… Maybe yours didn’t turn into a soap opera. I mean, literally, televised,” he commented, referencing his highly publicized trial with Heard.

Both actors appear to be moving forward on different paths as they navigate their post-trial lives. Just a few months ago, in April, Heard marked her 38th birthday in a stylish and celebratory way.
She treated her followers to a glimpse of the occasion, sharing a photo on Instagram. Accompanying the image, she captioned it, “Champagne kind of birthday,” adding a touch of elegance to her celebration.

This post marked a rare public appearance for Amber Heard, who was stylishly dressed in a gold outfit, seated against a backdrop of extensive wine displays. The image elicited a range of reactions online.
The post was shared on Facebook and one user remarked, “Those cheek implants though,” while another commented on her relocation, “She upgraded by moving to Europe, good for her.” A third admirer noted, “Well, she looks better than she did at trial.”
Beyond the virtual exchanges, Heard’s birthday celebration included receiving a gift and being serenaded by a mariachi band. Amid the occasion, some social media users urged others to stop criticizing Heard, highlighting her efforts to move past previous controversies.
A netizen defended Heard, stating, “Leave her alone.” Another noted that Heard has “literally changed” herself, adding, “Can we just let her live her life?” One user remarked, “Imagine having to leave your country to start over and still being made fun of. I wish her the best, some people stories are worse it’s just not aired for millions to see.”
Heard has settled in Madrid with her daughter, Paige, after initially residing in Mallorca. According to a friend of the actress in May 2023, she said the actress was “happy there, raising her daughter away from all the noise.”
The friend also noted that while Heard was not eager to return to the Hollywood scene immediately, “she will probably come back when the time is right for the right project.” Heard’s last known films were “In the Fire” and “Aquaman 2.”
As Heard has moved on with her life in Spain, her ex-husband Depp has also moved on. Sources previously stated that Depp feels “lucky” to see his ex-wife doing better a year after their trial.
Heard and Depp faced off in a widely publicized defamation trial in 2022, which resulted in Depp being awarded $15 million in damages, although Heard also won $2 million from her counter-claim. The duo tied the knot in 2015, but Heard filed for divorce the following year, which was finalized in 2017
