Renowned Australian actress Margot Robbie, best known for her leading role in the global blockbuster Barbie, has reportedly welcomed her first child. According to People magazine, Robbie and her husband, British actor and film producer Tom Ackerley, have become parents to a baby boy. The couple, who remain famously private, have not yet publicly confirmed the birth or shared the baby’s name, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more details.

The news of Robbie’s pregnancy became public in July, when she and Ackerley were seen vacationing in Italy. The couple, who married in a private ceremony in Byron Bay in 2016, has largely kept their personal lives away from the spotlight. However, Robbie’s appearance at multiple red-carpet events following their Italian holiday fueled speculation and delighted fans worldwide.

Reports suggest that the 34-year-old actress went into labor two weeks before her due date, bringing some added excitement to an already monumental chapter in their lives. According to the Mail on Sunday, Robbie’s due date was initially scheduled for early November.

The Journey from Friends to Lovers and Business Partners

Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley’s relationship began on the set of Suite Française, a World War II drama where they first met and formed a close friendship. Robbie once described herself as the “ultimate single gal” in an interview with Vogue, explaining how Ackerley eventually changed her outlook on relationships. “After being friends for so long,” she shared, “it just happened.” Since then, their relationship has been a blend of romance and partnership.

In 2014, Robbie and Ackerley, alongside British assistant director Josey McNamara and Australian film producer Sophie Kerr, co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment. With a mission to elevate female voices in film and television, LuckyChap has produced a number of high-profile projects, including Barbie, Saltburn, and the Netflix series Maid, which has garnered critical acclaim.

From Blockbuster Stardom to Parenthood

Robbie’s journey from rising actress to international star was catalyzed by her role as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad and cemented with her portrayal of the beloved Barbie character. The release of Barbie earlier this year further solidified her as a Hollywood heavyweight, earning her widespread acclaim. Balancing her rapidly expanding career with her recent role as a mother will be a new chapter, and fans are eager to see how the talented actress will continue to shine in both personal and professional spheres.

The family has yet to announce any further details, but sources close to the couple report that Robbie and Ackerley are overjoyed with the arrival of their baby boy. The news has sparked excitement and congratulations from fans across the globe, with many wondering how the actress will balance her family life with her demanding career.

Robbie’s Continued Impact with LuckyChap Entertainment

Through LuckyChap, Robbie and Ackerley have focused on delivering compelling stories that elevate female-driven narratives. The company has developed a solid reputation for producing films and series that challenge traditional Hollywood narratives, like Maid, which sheds light on the lives of women in difficult circumstances. Robbie’s dedication to crafting meaningful content shows a commitment to positively influencing the entertainment industry. With the birth of her son, fans and industry insiders are eager to see how she’ll navigate her new roles as a mother and an influential producer.
