Recent claims about Elon Musk potentially being the father of Amber Heard’s newborn twins, Agnes and Ocean, announced on Mother’s Day 2025, stem largely from speculation fueled by their past relationship and a resurfaced 2022 legal declaration. Here’s a breakdown of what is known:
Past Relationship and Embryo Dispute: Amber Heard and Elon Musk dated on and off between 2016 and 2018. A 2022 declaration from Jennifer Howell, a close friend of Heard’s sister Whitney, alleged that Heard and Musk were involved in a legal battle over frozen embryos they created together during their relationship. Howell claimed Musk wanted the embryos destroyed, while Heard fought to keep them to have a child. This testimony was not admitted as evidence in Heard’s defamation trial against Johnny Depp, as Heard’s legal team argued it was falsely obtained. Whitney dismissed Howell’s claims as “complete fiction.”
Heard’s Children: Heard welcomed her first daughter, Oonagh Paige, via surrogacy in April 2021, and has consistently stated she is raising her as a single parent, emphasizing she became a mother “on my own terms.” In May 2025, Heard announced the birth of twins, Agnes and Ocean, also conceived via surrogacy, but did not disclose the father’s identity. Her Instagram post highlighted her solo parenting journey and fertility challenges.
Social Media Speculation: Following Heard’s announcement of the twins, social media platforms, particularly X, saw a surge in speculation linking Musk to the children. Users cited the embryo dispute and Musk’s known interest in having many children (he has at least 14 with four women) as reasons to believe he could be the father. Some posts suggested Musk’s use of IVF and surrogacy aligns with Heard’s method of conception. However, others criticized the speculation, arguing Heard’s clear stance on single parenthood negates these claims.
Musk’s Views on Procreation: Reports, including a Wall Street Journal exposé, indicate Musk has a goal of creating a “legion” of offspring, often using surrogacy and IVF. He has reportedly made financial arrangements with some mothers, emphasizing confidentiality, which adds fuel to rumors about his involvement with Heard. However, there’s no direct evidence connecting him to Heard’s twins beyond the embryo dispute claims.
Denials and Lack of Confirmation: Neither Heard nor Musk has confirmed any involvement in the twins’ paternity. A spokesperson for Heard told People magazine that rumors about Musk being the father are “100% false.” Musk has remained silent on the matter. The lack of concrete evidence, combined with Heard’s insistence on being a solo parent, suggests the claims are speculative.
