Academy Award-nominated actress Margot Robbie is reportedly expecting her first child with her husband, film producer Tom Ackerley. This exciting news follows the circulation of photos showing Robbie vacationing in Italy, which sparked speculation about a baby bump. Multiple sources have confirmed the pregnancy to People magazine, although the couple has yet to publicly address the report. Robbie and Ackerley tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Australia's Byron Bay in 2016.
Margot Robbie Pregnant with Her First Child
Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley, who have been married for eight years, met on the set of a World War II drama in 2013. The couple has always been private about their relationship, but recent photos of them enjoying a romantic boat ride in Lake Como, Italy, have delighted fans. In the photos obtained by Daily Mail, Robbie flaunted her baby bump, signaling the joyful news of her pregnancy.
The Barbie star was seen vacationing in Italy, wearing a chic white crop top that revealed her baby bump, paired with a stylish oversized blazer. She completed her outfit with black, low-rise pants, a cream purse, and gold earrings. Her husband, Tom Ackerley, opted for a more casual look with a beige shirt and brown pants. The filmmaker was spotted attentively taking care of his pregnant wife as they enjoyed the scenic boat ride.
Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley's Love Story
Robbie and Ackerley’s relationship began on the set of the movie Suite Française in 2013. Their connection quickly blossomed into a two-year romance before they decided to marry. In a 2016 interview with Vogue, Robbie described their relationship as a happy surprise, playfully calling Ackerley "the best-looking guy in London." Their bond began as a friendship, and they even co-founded a production company, LuckyChap Entertainment. Among the notable films the company has produced is the highly successful Barbie movie.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, Ackerley mentioned how seamlessly they blend their personal and professional lives. “We spend 24 hours a day together," he said. "It’s seamless. We don’t have a toggle on, toggle off. It’s all become one thing.” This close-knit dynamic has strengthened their relationship over the years.
Robbie has also opened up about her deep affection for Ackerley. In her Vogue interview in 2016, she recalled, "I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit. 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. 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.'"
As Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley prepare to welcome their first child, fans eagerly anticipate the couple's next chapter, celebrating their journey from co-stars to lifelong partners.
