Amber Heard now lives in Spain under different name after starting new life following Johnny Depp trial

The American actor has been out of the spotlight for years after relocating to Madrid

Amber Heard's new life in Spain is very much out of the spotlight, years on from her public court case with ex-husband Johnny Depp.

The Aquaman actor is now living full-time in the Spanish capital of Madrid, choosing to stay away from the noise of Hollywood.

In fact, it has been reported that the 38-year-old actor has bought a €1.5million (£1.28 million) home in an affluent neighbourhood, housing other high-profile celebs, as well as footballers and politicians.

Located in the northern district of Chamartin, Heard has even reportedly changed her name to 'fully integrate' herself into Spanish culture and start a new life.

As reported by MailOnline, the five-bedroom home is just a short drive from Madrid's city centre, and had recently undergone renovations before being bought by the American actor.

Heard made the move to mainland Europe following her defeat to Depp in a $50 million defamation lawsuit back in 2022.

The court case was livestreamed and made headlines across social media platforms, as it became one of the most publicised celebrity court cases of all time.

Depp and Heard married in 2015 and divorced in 2017, with the latter posting an article in the Washington Post that was titled 'I spoke up against sexual violence – and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change'.

While Depp was not named, his lawyers believed it was enough to imply that she was physically and sexually abused by the Pirates of the Caribbean actor.

She was sued for defamation, before countersuing Depp for fronting a 'smear campaign' against her.

After months in court, Depp was awarded $15 million (£12 million), later capped at $10.35 million (£8.27 million) by the court, while a separate verdict saw Heard receive $2 million (£1.6 million) in damages.

But now, after moving temporarily to Mallorca, Heard has found her home in Madrid.

It was reported by El Diario de Mallorca that the Drive Angry actor changed her name to Martha Jane Cannary when renting the Mallorca villa, the real name of the legendary Wild West cowgirl known as Calamity Jane.

She moved out to Spain with her three-year-old daughter, born through surrogacy, and recently announced that she is expecting her second child in 2025.

Heard has not worked as an actress since the court case, and it is claimed that she is living in the Madrid neighbourhood, as a neighbour in El Visa told MailOnline this week: "She lives here and I often see her walking her daughter to school in the mornings.

"She wears a cap and sunglasses and normal clothes and keeps a low profile.

"She lives here in peace, this is a neighbourhood filled with famous people, including football players, but no one bothers each other, I think that's why she likes it - she has completely integrated into the community."

The neighbour noted that there were a lot of paparazzis outside her home, but she is largely left alone as 'no one here really knows who she is', and she even had to explain to them that she was Johnny Depp's former partner.

"An Atlético Madrid player lives there and no one even knows it, everyone keeps to themselves," the neighbour added, pointing to a house.

Videos have surfaced on social media of Heard speaking perfect Spanish too.
