Actress Amber Heard has given her followers a rare and intimate look into her family life, sharing a collection of previously unseen photographs from Thanksgiving celebrations spanning several years.
A Thanksgiving Journey Through Time
The 39-year-old Aquaman star took to Instagram on Friday to post multiple snapshots documenting her family's holiday traditions over time. Among the treasured images was a particularly rare photograph featuring her eldest daughter, Oonagh, as a toddler, sitting in a high-chair during the festive meal.
One striking image showed Amber posing proudly behind an impressive Thanksgiving feast spread, complete with traditional dishes including sweet potato casserole, turkey, and a generous bowl of mashed potatoes. The collection offered a genuine glimpse into the actress's domestic life away from the Hollywood spotlight.
Family Moments and Kitchen Preparations
The photo series captured various aspects of the holiday preparation, showing the actress fully engaged in creating the family meal. In one throwback image, Amber appeared cooking energetically as she fried chicken in a pan, while another heartwarming snapshot depicted her preparing vegetables alongside her father, David.
Though Amber welcomed twins Agnes and Ocean earlier this year, the newborn children did not appear in the Thanksgiving retrospective. The focus remained on years past, with particular attention to moments featuring her four-year-old daughter Oonagh during earlier stages of childhood.
Amber accompanied the nostalgic collection with a poignant caption: '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.'
Rebuilding Life After Turbulent Times
This intimate family sharing comes just weeks after Amber introduced her twins to the public for the first time during Halloween celebrations in Madrid, Spain. The actress had posted multiple photographs on Instagram earlier this month showing her trick-or-treating with all three children while dressed in witch's attire.
The Halloween post, which garnered over 80,000 likes within five hours from her 5 million Instagram followers, showed Amber accompanied by four-year-old Oonagh Paige and her five-month-old twins Ocean and Agnes. One twin wore a spider hat while the other sported an orange pumpkin hat for the occasion.
These family-focused posts appear to signal Amber's ongoing efforts to rebuild her life following years of highly publicised litigation connected to her separation from ex-husband Johnny Depp, 62.
In a Mother's Day post this past May, Amber had emotionally addressed welcoming the twins, whom she carried herself. 'Mother's Day 2025 will be one I'll never forget,' she wrote. 'This year I am elated beyond words to celebrate the completion of the family I've strived to build for years.'
She had continued: 'When I had my first baby girl Oonagh four years ago, my world changed forever. I thought I couldn't possibly burst with more joy. Well, now I am bursting times three!!!'
On a more reflective note, Amber had described 'becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges' as 'the most humbling experience of my life', expressing eternal gratitude for being able to make the choice responsibly and thoughtfully.
The actress concluded her Mother's Day message by assuring followers that 'Mama and babies are enjoying every minute' and that 'Oonagh is happily running the show', painting a picture of a contented family life that continues to unfold through these carefully shared moments.
