Sharing a sweet photo of herself cradling her newborn, she wrote: "I'm so excited to share this news with you. 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 normalized to not want a ring in order to have a crib.

"A part of me wants to uphold that my private life is none of anyone’s business. I also get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this. My daughter was born on April 8, 2021. Her name is Oonagh Paige Heard. She’s the beginning of the rest of my life."

Lockdown life at Amber's home

Amber shared the cutest photo of chubby-cheeked Oonagh sitting on her lap as she worked from home, which will no doubt bring back lockdown memories for multitasking mothers everywhere.

The star shed some insight into her single parent lifestyle, writing: "I'm just the mom and the dad. She's the boss."

Oonagh is growing up

While Amber usually shares photos of her daughter's face turned away from the camera, fans were able to see how much the little girl had changed in recent months when she posted a sweet photo of herself cradling her daughter.

Clad in cute dungarees and a floral top, baby Ooangh's hair had grown seriously long and thick.
