- Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley are now parents
- They welcomed a baby boy on November 2
- This is the couple's first child
Margot Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, have welcomed their first child, a baby boy. The news broke on November 2, though the couple has yet to disclose their son's name and exact birthdate. According to reports from 'The Daily Mail,' Robbie gave birth on October 17, ahead of her anticipated due date.
The arrival of their baby was subtly hinted at when Ackerley was seen purchasing baby supplies near their Venice Beach home. This event occurred just days before the official announcement, sparking speculation about the couple's new addition.
The secretive pregnancy
Rumors of Robbie's pregnancy first surfaced in July. An insider revealed to People that the couple had been eager to start a family for quite some time. "Family means a lot to both of them and they knew early on in their relationship being parents was something they really wanted. They’ve been keeping it under wraps for a while but are happy the news is out."
Robbie publicly embraced her maternity style at the Wimbledon tennis championship in London, marking her first appearance since the pregnancy news was confirmed.
A love story born on set
The couple's journey began on the set of the 2013 film 'Suite Française,' where Ackerley served as Robbie's assistant director. Their relationship blossomed, leading to marriage in December 2016 during an intimate ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia.
Before their wedding, Robbie and Ackerley co-founded the production company LuckyChap in 2014, alongside Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr, Robbie's childhood friend. The company has been instrumental in producing films like 'I, Tonya,' 'Birds of Prey,' and 'Barbie,' all starring Robbie.

Robbie's stance on motherhood
In a 2016 interview with Vogue, Robbie described her husband as "the best-looking guy in London," admitting that their relationship developed from a long-standing friendship. "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."
Despite their strong bond, Robbie expressed frustration in 2019 about societal expectations regarding motherhood. "It made me really angry; how dare some old guy dictate what I can and can’t do when it comes to motherhood or my own body?" she told the 'Radio Times.' "Unfortunately, it’s a conversation we’re still having. I’m so angry that there’s this social contract. You’re married, now have a baby. Don’t presume. I’ll do what I’m going to do."
