Margot Robbie, acclaimed for her portrayal as Barbie in the 2023 hit movie, is set to embark on a new role – motherhood. According to multiple sources confirmed by People on Sunday, July 7, Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley are expecting their first child. The news surfaced after pregnancy speculation arose from photos published by the Daily Mail earlier in the day. Us Weekly is awaiting comment from Robbie’s representatives.
The journey to parenthood has been a topic of discussion for Robbie, who has been vocal about societal pressures surrounding motherhood and family planning. In a January 2019 interview with the U.K.’s Radio Times, she expressed frustration, stating, “How dare some old guy dictate what I can and can’t do when it comes to motherhood or my own body?”
Reflecting on her relationship with Ackerley, whom she first met on the set of 2013’s *Suite Française*, Robbie shared with Vogue in 2016, “We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, ‘Oh, he would never love me back.’ And then it happened, and I was like, ‘Of course, we’re together. This makes so much sense.’”
Robbie and Ackerley, who co-run the LuckyChap Entertainment production company, quietly exchanged vows in Australia in December 2016, as confirmed by Us Weekly. Speaking to PORTER magazine in November 2018, Robbie expressed joy in marriage, saying, “Being married is actually the most fun ever. Life got way more fun somehow.”
The couple’s journey has been marked by shared ambitions in both personal and professional realms. Ackerley described their partnership to The Times of London, emphasizing their seamless integration: “We don’t have a toggle on, toggle off. It’s all become one thing.”
Robbie’s openness about future plans included a desire for children, as she mentioned in the PORTER interview, “Three days ago, my husband stopped by a dog shelter on the way back from the airport and we now have a pit bull puppy… If I’m looking into my future 30 years from now, I want to see a big Christmas dinner with tons of kids there, but definitely not at the moment. That’s 100 percent certain.”
As anticipation builds around the arrival of their first child, Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley continue to celebrate their journey together, both in love and in business, with a new chapter set to unfold in their lives.
