Amber Heard celebrated completing her first half marathon in a new Instagram post on Monday showing off her quieter life in Spain.

The actress, 40, was once one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stars, but in recent years she has swapped the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles for the streets of Madrid.

In the new post Amber looked jubilant in snaps of her completing her first 21.1K race in a lilac work out set.

Lifting her arms behind her head in a moment of celebration, the actress showed off her toned figure while standing in a crowd of other runners.

She captioned the post: ‘First half marathon, eskerrik asko Donosti! 21 kilometers in 1:39 min!!’

Earlier this month, Amber shared another glimpse into her life in Spain in an Instagram post where she treated herself to dinner at a three-Michelin-star restaurant.

Posting a snap of herself reading through the wine list, Amber ate at the El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, where their festival menu can cost €315 per person.

The actress captioned the post: ‘Now this is my kind of wine list.’

After leaving the world of showbiz, Amber is now focused on solo parenting, having had her daughter Oonagh, five, and twins Ocean and Agnes, 17 months, ‘by myself and on my own terms’.

She is believed to be single, with her last public relationship coming to an end in 2021 when she split from girlfriend Bianca Butti after a year.

In April 2021, Amber surprised her fans when she announced the arrival of daughter Oonagh, having kept the news that she was expecting private.

A source close to the actress claimed she had the child via a surrogate after being told she would never be able to carry her own baby.

Announcing the news, Amber said: ‘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 normalised to not want a ring in order to have a crib.’

The following year Amber settled a $50million defamation lawsuit with her ex-husband Johnny Depp.

After her ‘career-ending’ courtroom defeat to Johnny, Amber sought refuge in Majorca with rumors that the courtroom drama left her ‘blacklisted’ from Hollywood.

Upon moving to Spain she rented a property under the name of Martha Jane Canary, the real name of legendary Wild West cowgirl Calamity Jane. Amber then settled in Madrid with her baby daughter, Oonagh.

It was a calculated move abroad, with Amber said to be keen on distancing herself – quite literally – from the fallout of the defamation trial.

Without fuss and courting little publicity, the actress quietly gave up her fast-paced life in southern California and started her new life in Spain.

A source told People magazine: ‘The trial was beyond stressful, and she wanted to start fresh,’ they added that Amber now ‘has new energy and is focused on things that she loves’.

In 2024, it was reported that Amber had become ‘well and truly integrated’ into the Spanish capital’s elite after buying a €1.5million home in the trendy northern district of Chamartin.

The five-bed property, features a garden and three bathrooms and boasts counts, millionaires, footballers, and politicians as neighbours.

Speaking on the actress’s move, a neighbour in El Viso told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘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.

The neighbour continued: ‘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.

‘When Amber first arrived there were lots of photographers parked outside the home but now there are none.

‘No one here really knows who she is, they don’t recognise her in the street like they would in America.

‘When I saw all the commotion around her I had to ask my friend who she was and she explained she was Johnny Depp’s ex.’
