Margot Robbie is pregnant! Congratulations are in order for our favourite Barbie, who is expecting her first child with husband Tom Ackerley. The two actor-producer-extraordinaires have been married since 2016, after they met while filming a WWII romantic drama, Suite Francaise, in Belgium. Since then, they have become the ultimate power couple, launching their production company LuckyChap Entertainment together, which has produced films and series such as Birds of Prey, Netflix miniseries

CONGRATULATIONS, MARGOT ROBBIE!
Here are five reasons the Barbie star’s future child is going to have the best role model.

When she broke onto Wall Street, sorry, into Hollywood
When Robbie booked The Wolf of Wall Street, she was quite literally classified as an “unknown actor.” Sending in an audition tape with the single hope that the casting agent would remember her for future roles, she never imagined that Scorsese himself would watch the video, let alone that she would book the role. But after a chemistry read with Leonardo DiCaprio, the part was hers. Did we mention this was her first film in America? Queen behaviour.
When she founded LuckyChap
As mentioned before, Robbie and Acklerley joined forces back in 2014 to establish their production company, LuckyChap Entertainment. Their first major motion picture, bio-pic I, Tonya, starred Robbie herself as American ice skater Tonya Harding — and instantly propelled the company into the game. Their mission? To promote women-led stories, written and directed by women. Acting, producing, and working towards equality in the industry all at the same time? Yeah, Robbie really does it all.
When she became Harley Quinn
Is there anything else to say? Starring as Harley Quinn in 2016’s Suicide Squad, 2020’s Birds of Prey, and 2021’s The Suicide Squad, she is truly iconic.
When she had a 24-hour-long 24th birthday party
Maybe this is one that her child won’t learn about until they’re a bit older, but Robbie’s infamous 24th birthday party is one I’m sure they’ll want to replicate. In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, she explained that she celebrated for 24 hours straight in London, which she imagines is what it feels like to run a marathon “in the drinking realm.” Think champagne breakfast in her courtyard, games in Hyde Park, food at Five Guys, karaoke at Bunga Bunga, and multiple costume changes.
When she made Summer 2023 a Barbie summer
This list wouldn’t be complete without Barbie. Between her incredible performance and impeccable red carpet looks, she certainly shook up the world and painted it pink last summer. Imagine playing with a Barbie doll knowing that your mother is, in fact, Barbie herself.
