Margot Robbie is about to become a mom! The Barbie star and her husband, Tom Ackerley, are expecting their first child together after being wed in 2016. Many outlets, including People, have confirmed that Robbie is pregnant. We couldn't be more thrilled for her, as a new baby brings joy and light.
Robbie wanted to have children on her own time and not immediately after marrying Ackerley in her home country of Australia. The couple wanted to amplify their careers first, but kids were always in focus when the timing suited them.
In a 2018 interview from Porter, the actress revealed what her life entailed ahead for her and Ackerley.
"If I’m looking into my future 30 years from now, I want to see a big Christmas dinner with tons of kids there."
How did Margot Robbie reveal her pregnancy?
DailyMail was the first to report Robbie's pregnancy, and while she didn't officially announce her new chapter, she revealed it in a different way. The outlet photographed the actress while she was on vacation with her husband in Lake Como, Lombardy, Italy. Robbie wore a simple white T-shirt revealing her growing "bump" and relaxing black pants. She was all smiles and appeared to enjoy her time away from her busy Hollywood schedule.
Aside from her screen-stealing performance in Barbie, Robbie additionally starred in 2020's Birds of Prey and 2017's I, Tonya. Her and her husband's production company, LuckyChap, created all three productions. Barbie was then distributed to Warner Brothers for the film release, and it was one of 2023's most prominent theatrical successes.
In 2016 and 2021, Robbie starred as the DC villain, Harley Quinn, in Suicide Squad and its sequel, The Suicide Squad. Her characterization of Quinn was considered one of the DC universe's finest, and she was praised by critics and fans alike.
The Australian native was nominated for "Best Movie" for Barbie at this year's Academy Awards installment and won the People's Choice for "Female Movie Star of 2023" for her portrayal of the iconic fashion doll.
