Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley — Their journey
The parents-to-be met in 2013 on the set of Suite Française, a World War II drama. Robbie starred in the film while Ackerley served as an assistant director.
Three years down the line, in December 2016, Robbie and Ackerley tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Robbie’s home country, Australia. The duo never announced their engagement before their wedding.
Before their romance, the pair had known each other professionally for years. They worked as producers at LuckyChap alongside Joseph McNamara and Robbie’s childhood friend, Sophia Kerr. LuckyChap is the production company behind film and television offerings like I, Tonya, Birds of Prey, and Barbie — all of which featured Robbie.
The actress, per People, told Sunday Style in June 2016 that she wants “tons of children” because she herself grew up in a family of four kids. At the time, Robbie noted that once she started a family, her kids would be her first priority. Well, looks like the time has arrived.
It is worth noting that neither Robbie nor Ackerley have officially acknowledged the pregnancy news. Therefore, it isn't yet known when the baby is due.
Media reports, however, suggest that the birth will happen in the later months of 2024.
