In exciting news, Australian actress Margot Robbie is expecting her first child with her husband, British film producer Tom Ackerley. The pregnancy was confirmed after paparazzi photos captured Robbie showcasing her baby bump while vacationing in Lake Como. This will be the first child for the couple, who have been married since December 2016.
Robbie and Ackerley, both 34, met in 2013 on the set of the World War II drama “Suite Française.” They began dating the following year and tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia. The couple co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment in 2014, a production company known for films like “Barbie,” “I, Tonya,” and “Birds of Prey.”
Robbie shared her initial hesitation about relationships in a Vogue interview from May 2016, describing herself as “the ultimate single gal” who was initially reluctant about love. However, her feelings for Ackerley grew stronger, leading to their eventual romance. She expressed her surprise and joy when their relationship blossomed, stating, “Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.”
In a recent interview with the Times of London in June 2024, Ackerley gave a rare glimpse into their personal life, revealing that they spend “24 hours a day” together and seamlessly blend their professional and personal lives. He mentioned that their biggest disagreement is about the superiority of Australia’s Tim Tams versus England’s Penguins.
Despite their private nature, the couple has occasionally shared sweet moments publicly. Ackerley has been a constant support for Robbie, often accompanying her to red carpet events. Last year, he read her acceptance speech at Variety’s Power of Women in Los Angeles when she lost her voice. He also humorously pinched her butt at the 2023 Gotham Film Awards, causing Robbie to burst into giggles in front of photographers.
Margot Robbie’s pregnancy has generated a buzz on social media, with fans and celebrities alike sending their congratulations. The actress has always been open about her desire to have a large family, inspired by her own upbringing with three siblings.
