Margot Robbie is Pregnant, Expecting First Child with Husband Tom Ackerley
Margot Robbie has taken on her latest role: mom.
The Barbie star recently gave birth to her first child with husband Tom Ackerley, multiple outlets reported Nov. 2.
According to People, the two welcomed a baby boy.
The little one’s arrival comes three months after Margot first debuted her pregnancy while on vacation to Lake Como, Italy, with Tom in July. Just a week later, Margot, wearing a white polka dot dress and matching cape that showcased her bump, and Tom served up some PDA at Wimbledon, watching the matches game intently before pausing to share a sweet kiss.
Wimbledon fashion isn’t the only aspect of their partnership Margot and Tom, both 34, are acing as she recently shared insight into what makes her and her husband a perfect match. “I am so lucky,” Margot told E! News at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, detailing her marriage to “normie” husband Tom. “He likes being behind the camera. He’s not fazed by any of this stuff.”
The couple’s love story spans all the way back to 2013 when they met on the set of Suite Française, where Tom was third assistant director and Margot had a supporting role. Although at the time, Margot was a self-proclaimed “ultimate single gal.”
“The idea of relationships made me want to vomit,” she told Vogue in 2016. “And then this crept up on me.”
After all, the duo were already close before things turned romantic. “We were friends for so long.” Margot continued. “I was always in love with him, but I thought, ‘Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him that you like him.’ And then it happened, and I was like, ‘Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.’”

Flash forward two years later and the couple quietly tied the knot in Byron Bay, Australia.
And while Margot and Tom have often kept their romance out of the spotlight, the Wolf of Wall Street alum has previously expressed hope about expanding their family one day. “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 told Porter in a 2018 interview. “But definitely not at the moment. That’s 100 percent certain.”

“I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit,” she told Vogue. “And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, ‘Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot.
