Margot Robbie, star of the blockbuster Barbie, recently welcomed her first child, a baby boy, with husband Tom Ackerley, as confirmed by a source close to the couple to People. While further details on the baby’s name and time of birth are still under wraps, the news has brought immense joy to fans. Following news of Margot Robbie’s pregnancy, the couple was first seen publicly at London’s prestigious All-England Club for the tennis tournament in July. The actress looked stylish in a chic outfit, accessorizing her ensemble with open-toe black mules and trendy rectangular sunglasses.
Robbie and Ackerley, who first crossed paths on the set of Suite Française in 2013, married in an intimate Byron Bay ceremony in Australia in 2016. Known for her remarkable acting talents, Margot Robbie is also a successful producer; she co-produced Barbie, among other films, under LuckyChap Entertainment, the production company she co-founded with Ackerley. Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig, became one of the biggest box office hits of 2023 and was nominated for Best Picture at the 2024 Oscars, though it didn’t secure a win despite rave reviews.
Tom Ackerley, an actor, producer, and director, and Robbie have produced notable films and shows through LuckyChap, including I, Tonya, Promising Young Woman, and Barbie. Margot Robbie’s upcoming projects include A Big Bold Beautiful Journey and Queen of the Air, adding to her versatile career in Hollywood.
Barbie, in which Robbie plays the titular role, presented a modern, thought-provoking twist on the iconic character. The story follows Barbie as she ventures into the real world, encountering real-life complexities like patriarchy and self-identity. Alongside Robbie, the film stars Ryan Gosling as Ken, with America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell in memorable supporting roles, each contributing to the film’s unique approach to a beloved childhood icon.
