Margot Robbie, the beloved actress known for her role as Barbie, has embarked on her most exciting adventure yet—motherhood. Recently, reports emerged confirming the arrival of her first child, a baby boy, with her husband Tom Ackerley. The news spread like wildfire across various media outlets on November 2, generating much anticipation and excitement among fans and followers alike.
Robbie’s pregnancy was first brought to the attention of the public during the summer, when she was spotted vacationing in beautiful Lake Como, Italy, with Ackerley. This holiday marked the couple’s initial public acknowledgment of their impending parenthood, showcasing Robbie’s burgeoning baby bump for the world to see. Just weeks later, at Wimbledon, she stole the show not only with her stunning fashion sense—a chic polka dot dress—but also with her affectionate displays of affection alongside her husband.
While details surrounding the baby’s name and exact birthdate remain scarce, sources suggest the little one was born two weeks before the couple’s anticipated due date, just days prior to the birth announcement. According to People magazine, the couple chose not to make their announcement public immediately, preferring to relish these private moments as new parents.
Robbie and Ackerley’s love story is one straight out of a movie. They first crossed paths back in 2013 on the set of French Suitewhere Ackerley worked as the third assistant director. Though they were friends for years, their romantic relationship blossomed when they began living together. Speaking candidly about her feelings for Ackerley, Robbie expressed her initial doubts over their compatibility, stating, “I was always in love with him, but I thought, ‘Oh, he would never love me back.'” Fast forward to December 2016, the couple tied the knot during an intimate ceremony on the stunning Byron Bay coastline of Australia.
The duo has also established themselves as prolific collaborators, co-founding the production company LuckyChap Entertainment, which has been behind hits like I, Tonya and the recent Barbie. This business partnership reflects their commitment not just to their personal lives but also to championing female-centric projects within the film industry. With their busy careers, balancing family life and work is undoubtedly something they’ll navigate together.
Interestingly, Robbie is no stranger to discussions around motherhood and family. She has previously voiced her frustrations about societal pressure to have children soon after marriage. Back in 2019, she mentioned, “I got married, and the first question in almost every interview is, ‘Babies? When are you having one?'” Expressing her desire for agency over her choices, Robbie added, “I’m so angry there’s this social contract. You’re married, now have a baby. Don’t presume. I’ll do what I’m going to do.” Nevertheless, Robbie has always expressed her hopes for having children one day, recalling fond memories of her upbringing in a large family. “I grew up with four kids. That seems like a good number,” she revealed.
Currently, Robbie and Ackerley are embracing their new roles as parents from the comfort of their lavish Venice Beach home, reportedly worth $6.5 million. It’s here where they’ll kickstart their family life, surrounded by the ocean breeze and sunny skies, making this new chapter even more enchanting. Ackerley’s parents are expected to visit shortly to meet their grandchild, which adds to the excitement of this latest family milestone.
Whenever they’re ready to share the details of their baby’s birth and name, fans are sure to be eager to celebrate this joyous occasion. Meanwhile, the couple is enjoying their time together, relishing every moment of this special period with their newborn.
So, what’s next for Margot Robbie as she steps up to this exciting new role? While fans speculate her return to the silver screen, she’s sure to prioritize family as she finds her footing as both an actress and mother. There’s no doubt this incredible actress will tackle parenting with the same passion and dedication she pours publicly over her craft. The world waits with bated breath, eager to see what the future holds for the new family.
