Actor Margot Robbie and her husband, producer-actor Tom Ackerley, have welcomed their first child, a baby boy, according to reports from Daily Mail. The couple’s son arrived on October 17, ahead of schedule.
Sources indicate that Margot “went into labour two weeks ago, shortly before her due date,” and that “all is well” with the family. The grandparents are expected to travel to Los Angeles soon to meet their new grandson.
A Glimpse of Margot’s Pregnancy
In July, photos of Margot showcasing her baby bump during a vacation in Italy surfaced online. She was spotted in Lake Como wearing a cropped white top, oversized blazer, and black low-rise pants alongside Tom.

How Margot Met Tom
Margot and Tom first crossed paths on the set of Suite Francaise in 2013 and married in December 2016 during an intimate ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia. Nearly eight years later, they have welcomed their first child. The couple has maintained a private relationship.
In an interview with Vogue in June 2016, Robbie shared her feelings about their relationship: “I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit. And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. 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.’” She further reflected, “And then it happened, and I was like, Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.”
Margot’s Upcoming Projects
Fans can look forward to seeing Margot alongside Jacob Elordi in Emerald Fennell’s upcoming adaptation of Emily Bronte’s classic novel, Wuthering Heights. The film, produced by MRC and LuckyChap, is set to begin pre-production with plans for filming in the UK in 2025. Margot will portray the complex character Catherine Earnshaw, while Jacob will play Heathcliff, the troubled foster son of the Earnshaw family. Although specific plot details are still under wraps, the original story focuses on the tumultuous relationships between the Earnshaws and the Lintons. Additionally, her next project, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, is scheduled for release in May next year.
