Australian actress Margot Robbie has debuted her baby bump during a recent outing with her husband, Tom Ackerley.
Robbie, 34, caught fans’ attention today after pictures of her boarding a boat in Lake Como over the weekend were released online and appeared to reveal some very exciting news.
Wearing a pair of black pants and a matching black blazer, the A-lister, most well known for her role in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie last year, showed off her baby bump in a cropped white t-shirt.
While the couple has yet to confirm the news themselves, sources close to them told People magazine they are expecting their first child together. Pop Base, a pop culture news source with over 1.5 million followers, also confirmed the news.
Taking to X, fans immediately shared their excited about the news, with one fan writing, “That’s a mother.” Another wrote, “Margot Robbie is pregnant, omg.”
The couple have been together since 2014 after they met while working on the film Suite Française in 2013. Robbie starred in the film, while her husband worked on set as an assistant director.
Discussing details of their relationship with People magazine, Robbie said she was the “ultimate single gal” and would want to “vomit” at the thought of a relationship, “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. 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.”
The couple went on to marry in 2016 and have chosen to keep their relationship largely out of the public eye.
Despite this, they work closely together and co-own the production company LuckyCap Entertainment.
It comes after Robbie told Deadline she plans to “disappear” for a while because she believes audiences are “sick” of seeing her after Barbie, which was such a huge global hit last year.
Speaking to the news outlet, she said: “Everyone’s like, ‘Are you having a break?’ And I’m like, ‘You do know I’m a producer, right? We don’t get a break.

“No, the producing is 24/7, but on the acting side, this is the longest I haven’t acted on a set, because we finished Barbie in October of 2022. So, it’s already been more than a year since I was on set as an actor, and other than Covid, that’s the first time that’s ever happened.
“I also think everyone’s probably sick of the sight of me for now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while,” she said adding, “Honestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would say, ‘Her again? We just did a whole summer with her. We’re over it.’
“I don’t know what I’ll do next, but I hope it’s a little while away.”
