Multiple sources have confirmed that Margot Robbie, the star of “Barbie,” and her husband, Tom Ackerley, are expecting their first baby.
The 34-year-olds first crossed paths in 2013 on the set of the World War II drama “Suite Française,” where Ackerley was an assistant director and Robbie played a leading role. Their relationship blossomed from friendship to romance, culminating in a private wedding ceremony in Australia’s Byron Bay in December 2016. The couple kept their engagement under wraps before tying the knot.
Robbie and Ackerley are not only partners in life but also in business. Together, they co-founded the production company LuckyChap Entertainment with Robbie’s childhood friend, Sophia Kerr, and Josey McNamara. The company has been behind several successful films and television series, including “I, Tonya,” “Birds of Prey,” and the recent blockbuster “Barbie,” all featuring Robbie in prominent roles.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Ackerley shared insights into their unique balance between personal and professional lives. “[We spend] 24 hours a day [together],” he said. “It’s seamless. We don’t have a toggle on, toggle off. It’s all become one thing.”
As they prepare to welcome their first child, the couple continues to navigate their intertwined lives with seamless harmony, setting the stage for the next chapter in both their personal and professional journeys.
