Australian actress Margot Robbie, best known for her roles in Barbie and Suicide Squad, is expecting her first child. According to a source who spoke to People, Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, are preparing for the arrival of their baby.
The couple, who married in 2016, have been wanting to become parents for some time and now their dream is finally coming true. The insider claimed, “Margot absolutely can’t wait,” and added that Robbie and Ackerley are “so happy.”
Although Robbie is often one of the busiest stars in Hollywood, she is taking some time off to prepare for motherhood. According to the insider, Robbie is in Los Angeles, preparing for her baby’s arrival and easing back and forth between hospital visits.
“She looks amazing,” the source said. While the actress is known for her strong work ethic, she is seen taking a nice respite from her usually hectic schedule. “She’s enjoying some time off from filming now, though,” the insider said.
Although Robbie is focused on being a mom, she hasn’t given up her job completely. Even as the due date approaches, the Oscar-nominated actress continues to work on a few projects. “She still loves to keep busy,” the source revealed.
Robbie has several films lined up for herself, including A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, starring Colin Farrell and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Her passion for her work has always been evident, as one set source said that during filming, “no one suspected she was pregnant.” The source added, “He had long days, but it was no big deal to him.”
Robbie and Ackerley, who met on the set of Suite Française in 2013, have kept their relationship private. They have been together since 2014 and are about to start a new chapter in their lives as parents, something they both have wanted for quite some time.
The pair are also working on their own production company, LuckyChap, which they co-founded. In addition to their production work, Robbie and Ackerley recently launched their own gin brand, Papa Salt. Despite her pregnancy, Robbie has been able to strike a balance between enjoying family time and staying involved in these endeavors.
Robbie’s path to becoming a mother for the first time is a new chapter in her life, and while she continues to work on projects with Ackerley and grow her business, she is taking the time she needs to prepare for this exciting new role.
