Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley Expecting Their First Child, Ushering in a New Chapter in Their Personal and Professional Lives Together

Margot Robbie, the acclaimed Australian actress, is expecting her first child with her husband, Tom Ackerley, according to a report by People magazine. However, the couple has yet to officially comment on the rumors.

Robbie and Ackerley met on the set of the drama ‘Suite Française’ in 2013, where Ackerley worked as an assistant director and Robbie as an actress. Three years later, in December 2016, they married in a private ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia.

In 2014, Robbie and Ackerley co-founded the production company LuckyChap along with Josey McNamara and Robbie’s childhood friend, Sophia Kerr. This company, focused on female-led projects, has produced acclaimed films like ‘I, Tonya’, ‘Birds of Prey’, and ‘Barbie’, all starring Robbie.

Although the couple is known for keeping their relationship private, the ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ star spoke about her husband in a 2016 interview with Vogue, describing him as “the most handsome man in London.”

“I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me nauseous,” Robbie said. “And then this happened to me. We were friends for a long time. I was always in love with him.” She continued, “I thought, ‘Oh, he’ll never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be silly and tell him you like him.’ And then it happened, and it was like, ‘Of course we’re together. It makes so much sense.’”

More recently, in 2019, Robbie expressed her frustration about constantly being asked about her plans to have children during interviews.

“It used to really annoy me; how dare some old guy dictate what I can or can’t do regarding motherhood or my own body?” she commented to Radio Times. “Unfortunately, it’s still a conversation we’re having. It makes me furious that there’s this social contract. You get married, now have a baby. Don’t assume. I’ll do what I want to do.”

With the news of her pregnancy, Robbie’s fans eagerly await to see how the actress and producer will balance her personal and professional life in this new phase. However, one thing is certain: Margot Robbie will continue to surprise and captivate audiences, both on and off the screen.
