Margot Robbie is Expecting Her First Child With Husband, Tom Ackerley

In a delightful turn of events, the Barbie star appears to be expecting. According to People magazine, congratulations are in order for Margot Robbie, who is reportedly pregnant. Sources revealed to the magazine on Sunday, July 7, 2024, that the actress and her husband, Tom Ackerley, are anticipating their first child. While the couple has yet to confirm the news, candid photos suggest the possibility, showing Robbie with what seems to be a baby bump.

Both 34, Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley first met in 2013 during the filming of Suite Française. Their initial friendship evolved into a professional partnership with the founding of LuckyChap Entertainment, alongside Robbie’s childhood friend Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara, who produced hits such as I, Tonya, Birds of Prey, and Barbie. Despite a slow start to their romance, they began dating in late 2014. Reflecting on their transition from friends to partners, Robbie remarked in 2016, "I was the ultimate single girl. The idea of relationships made me want to throw up. And then it became obvious to me.” The couple married in December 2016 in an intimate ceremony in Byron Bay.

Margot Robbie has previously shared her frustration with societal expectations surrounding motherhood. In a candid 2019 interview with RadioTimes, she said, "I got married, and the first question in almost every interview is, 'Babies? When will you have one?' I'm so angry that there’s this social contract: You’re married, now have a baby.” She added, “I will do what I want to do when I want to do it.” True to her words, it appears that 2024 may be the year the couple decides to start their family, if early whispers are to be trusted.
