Australian actress Margot Robbie, celebrated for her diverse roles in Hollywood, has shared joyful news with the world: she’s expecting her first child with husband Tom Ackerley. The couple, both 34 years old, first crossed paths back in 2013 on the set of the World War II drama Suite Française. Ackerley, then an assistant director, found himself drawn to Robbie, who was in front of the camera, and their friendship blossomed into a partnership that culminated in a private wedding ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia, in December 2016.

Together, they form part of the creative force behind LuckyChap Entertainment, alongside Robbie’s childhood friend Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara. The production company has been instrumental in bringing to life acclaimed projects such as “I, Tonya” and “Birds of Prey,” both of which starred Robbie herself. Most recently, their work on the fantasy comedy “Barbie” garnered critical acclaim and further solidified Robbie’s reputation as a versatile actress and producer.
