After the trial ended largely in favor of the Hollywood veteran, Amber moved to Spain and is currently living a quiet life with her 3-year-old daughter.

The comments came at the heels of 38-year-old Amber’s recent comments about her ex-husband arriving in Spain for the premiere of his new film.
“I’m living here in Madrid, I love Spain,” she was quoted telling reporters. “I’m very lucky to be here, and regarding my past, I don’t feel like thinking or talking about it, because I’m happy and in peace.”
