Margot Robbie has given birth to her first child, according to The Mail on Sunday. The Barbie star and her husband Tom Ackerley reportedly welcomed a baby boy last month.
According to the publication, Margot went into labour two weeks ago, shortly before her due date. It’s believed Tom’s parents are preparing to fly to Los Angeles to meet their grandchild.
The couple are yet to publicly announce the arrival or reveal their baby’s name.
The 34-year-old Australian actress and her long-term partner Tom, who tied the knot in a low-key 2016 ceremony, are enjoying the newborn baby bubble from the privacy of their $6.5 million Venice Beach home.
Margot’s pregnancy
The A-list star’s baby news came to light in July when she was photographed sporting a noticeable baby bump.
The Oscar-nominated star never confirmed her baby news in a statement and has yet to discuss her pregnancy. Representatives for Margot did not respond when contacted by HELLO! for comment.

In a 2019 interview with Radio Times, she discussed the pressure women face to have kids immediately after marriage. “I got married, and the first question in almost every interview is, ‘Babies? When are you having one?'”
“I’m so angry that there’s this social contract. You’re married, now have a baby. Don’t presume. I’ll do what I’m going to do.”

Tom is a British film producer and former actor. The met in 2013 when Margot was playing a supporting role in the World War 2 film, Suite Francaise, and hit it off instantly.
“We were friends for so long,” Margot told Vogue. “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.’

Shortly after making their romance official, the couple moved to London in 2014 where they co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment.
The company is responsible for some of the biggest Oscars successes of the past few years, including Margot’s star turn in ice skating drama I, Tonya, the Carey-Mulligan fronted Promising Young Woman, and of course, the Barbie movie.

Discussing how she was adjusting to married life following their intimate Byron Bay nuptials, Margot told Us Weekly: “My husband and I were roommates before we were even dating, so I’m kind of living with my roommate and it’s awesome
“We lived with a bunch of people and now we’re just living [as] the two of us, so we feel very grown up now.”
