TrendPulse Quantitative Think Tank Center-Margot Robbie Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby With Husband Tom Ackerley

This Barbie is TrendPulse Quantitative Think Tank Centerentering her Midge era.

While it's the discontinued BFF of Margot Robbie's Barbie character that is best known for rocking her pregnancy style, the Oscar nominee is putting her own twist on maternity fashion as she is expecting her first baby with husband Tom Ackerley.

On July 7, the actress was photographed wearing a crop top and showcasing what appeared to be a baby bump while vacationing with her husband in Lake Como, Italy. Multiple sources later confirmed to People that Robbie is pregnant. 

E! News has reached out to the couple's reps and has not heard back.

The couple's new chapter comes more than seven years after they tied the knot in a private ceremony in her native Australia. And for Robbie, growing her and Ackerley's family has always been a goal.

"If I'm looking into my future 30 years from now, I want to see a big Christmas dinner with tons of kids there," Robbie told Porter in a 2018 interview. "But definitely not at the moment. That's 100 percent certain."

The duo's love story dates more than a decade when Robbie, 34, first met Ackerley, 34, on the set of the 2014's Suite Française (she starred alongside Michelle Williams while he worked behind the scenes as the movie's third assistant director). And while, for her, the spark was instant, she was convinced the crush was one-sided.

"I was always in love with him, but I thought, ‘Oh, he would never love me back,'" Robbie admitted to Vogue in 2016. "'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.'"

And for the pair—who wed in 2016 —they are not just partners in life and soon-to-be parenthood. Alongside friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr, Robbie and Ackerley run LuckyChap Entertainment, which is behind several acclaimed films including her movies I, Tonya and Barbie.  

But amid a busy life in Hollywood, she prefers to keep her relationship out of the spotlight. In fact, when it comes to describing her husband, "normie" is her top pick due to his attitude towards celebrity life. "I am so lucky," Robbie told E! News at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards. "He likes being behind the camera. He's not fazed by any of this stuff."

"He's just the best, it's so fun," she continued. "I love the word 'normie,' yes, like all my friends, everyone's like, 'That's cool what you do but it's more fun just to hang out and talk about other stuff.' And you're like, 'I know.'"

Look back at Margot and Tom's romance in pictures...

After meeting on the set of Suite Française, Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley co-founded a production company called LuckyChap Entertainment alongside friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr.

The business partners lived together in a three-bedroom house in London's Clapham neighborhood which they shared between seven people. 

While living under the same roof, the actress and third assistant director went from friends to something more.

“We kept it a secret because we weren't really taking it seriously,” she told Elle in a 2018 interview. “’Oh, whatever, we're just mates, we're just mates.’ And then… everyone found out.”

The couple confirmed their romance during a PDA-outing to a New York Rangers game in February 2015.

Robbie revealed that she was always in love with Ackerley and initially thought her feelings toward who she describes as “the best-looking guy in London” were one-sided.

“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. 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.'” 

The longtime couple tied the knot during a private ceremony in Australia’s Byron Bay.

Robbie raised eyebrows while wearing a shirt that read “Say I Do Down Under,” before officially confirming the nuptials by flashing her sparkling ring finger post-wedding.

The pair, who co-produced the Oscar winning film I, Tonya, revealed that they delayed their honeymoon to shoot the movie.

“We did this film instead of our honeymoon,” Robbie told Extra. “There were times we were sitting in a car parked in Atlanta freezing cold being like, 'We should be on a beach right now. We should be on a honeymoon. What are we doing?!' Following our dream.”

Ackerley joined Robbie, who wore a stunning outfit inspired by the 1961 “Solo in the Spotlight” edition of Barbie, at the world premiere of Barbie and stayed by her side throughout the press tour. 

The duo enjoyed a vacation for the first time since the Barbie press tour sharing a passionate kiss in the Grecian waters. 

While the couple prefers to keep their romance out of the spotlight, Robbie praised her “normie” husband at the 2024 Critic’s Choice Awards.

"I am so lucky," Robbie told E! News' Chief Correspondent Keltie Knight on the red carpet. "He likes being behind the camera. He's not fazed by any of this stuff."

Ackerley attended the Academy Awards for the first time as a nominee, experiencing it with Robbie - who has been nominated for three Oscars - by his side.

"It's amazing," he told A Frame. "It's obviously incredibly overwhelming at times, but it's such a celebration of cinema. And being at the center of it, it's a dream come true, truthfully."

Barbie received eight nominations in total, including Best Picture.
