Margot Robbie is reportedly expecting her first child with husband Tom Ackerley, according to multiple sources. The news broke after photos surfaced showing Robbie with a noticeable baby bump while vacationing in Lake Como, Italy. The images, published by Daily Mail, captured the actress boarding a boat, her midriff exposed, sparking widespread speculation online.
People magazine later confirmed the pregnancy, citing several sources close to the couple. Robbie and Ackerley, who met in 2013 on the set of “Suite Française,” have been together since 2014 and married in a private ceremony in 2016. The couple has since been inseparable, both personally and professionally, co-founding the production company LuckyChap Entertainment, which has produced several successful films including “I, Tonya,” “Birds of Prey,” and the recent blockbuster “Barbie.”
Robbie has previously expressed frustration with societal expectations around motherhood. In a 2019 interview with Radio Times, she shared her annoyance at being constantly asked about her baby plans after getting married. “I got married, and the first question in almost every interview is, ‘Babies? When are you having one?'” she said. “I’m so angry that there’s this social contract. You’re married, now have a baby. Don’t presume. I’ll do what I’m going to do.”
Despite her irritation with the pressure to become a parent, Robbie has always envisioned a future with children. In a 2018 interview with Porter Magazine, she mentioned her desire to have a big family someday. “If I’m looking into my future 30 years from now, I want to see a big Christmas dinner with tons of kids there,” she said. “But definitely not at the moment. That’s 100 percent certain.”
The couple’s journey to parenthood has been a topic of interest for many fans and media outlets. Robbie and Ackerley have managed to keep their relationship relatively private, despite their high-profile careers. Their love story began in a somewhat Hollywood fairy tale fashion, with Robbie starring in “Suite Française” and Ackerley working as the assistant director. They remained friends before eventually starting a romantic relationship.
Their production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, has been a significant part of their lives, producing critically acclaimed films and series. The company’s success has only added to the couple’s dynamic, making them a powerful duo in the entertainment industry. Their latest project, “Barbie,” has been a massive hit, further cementing their status as a formidable team.
Robbie’s pregnancy news comes at a time when she is at the peak of her career. Known for her versatility and talent, she has become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actresses. Her roles in films like “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Suicide Squad,” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” have earned her critical acclaim and a massive fan following.
Ackerley, on the other hand, has made a name for himself as a producer, with credits in films like “Promising Young Woman” and “I, Tonya.” Together, they have created a successful partnership, both personally and professionally.
The couple’s decision to start a family now seems to align with their personal timeline, despite the external pressures and expectations. Robbie’s candidness about her feelings towards societal norms and her desire to do things on her terms has resonated with many fans. Her journey to motherhood is a testament to her determination to live life on her own terms.
As the news of Robbie’s pregnancy continues to make headlines, fans and well-wishers are eagerly awaiting an official announcement from the couple. For now, the photos and reports serve as a confirmation of the exciting new chapter in their lives.
Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley are about to embark on a new adventure as they prepare to welcome their first child. Their journey from co-workers to friends, to partners, and now soon-to-be parents, is a beautiful story of love, partnership, and mutual respect. As they step into this new phase, they have the support and admiration of fans worldwide, who are excited to see what the future holds for this talented and dynamic couple.
