Margot Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley have reportedly “welcomed” first child according to PEOPLE.

The 34-year-old Australian celebrity is said to be “all well” after going into labour two weeks ago, just before her due date.

To meet the new arrival, the thrilled grandparents are now getting ready to board a plane to Los Angeles.

 

To protect their privacy, the couple’s friends and family have not shared any information about the baby, a boy delivered on October 17.

Margot’s proud in-laws, who still reside in Surrey, where Tom was born and reared, will have their 12th grandchild.

The announcement was made just days after Tom, 34, was seen buying baby supplies close to the couple’s Venice Beach residence.

In July, it was first reported the Hollywood star was expecting her first child.

Multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE magazine that the Barbie star was expecting her first child with her husband Tom Ackerley.

The couple first met in 2013 when Tom served as third assistant director on the WWII-era romance Suite Française, in which Margot had a supporting role.

Margot became close friends with Tom and several other people working on the movie, and when she returned to London to do press for The Wolf of Wall Street the following year – they all decided to get a place together in Clapham.

While sharing a house with five roommates, including their future business partners Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr, Margot and Tom’s friendship blossomed into a romance.

Speaking to Vogue in 2016, Margot sweetly revealed how their relationship started.

The actress confessed: “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.’”

“And then it happened,” Robbie continued, “and I was like, ‘Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.’”

Margot admitted their housemates initially protested against their romance, as they were worried they would “ruin” their friend group.

But thankfully everything worked out, and the foursome ended up founding a production company together called LuckyChap Entertainment.

In November 2016, the founders decided to take LuckyChap stateside by moving to LA.

One month later, Margot and Tom returned to her native Australia where they secretly tied the knot on the beach, having never publicly shared that they were engaged.

The couple later confirmed their union when Margot shared a photo of her and Tom kissing as she flashed her sparkling ring finger at the camera.

During a previous interview with The Guardian, Margot joked how their housemates essentially kicked them out after they got married.

“It was our roommates who told us, ‘You guys had a wedding. You have to live on your own now,’” she said.

“It honestly hadn’t occurred to us. We were, like, ‘Hmm? What? Just the two of us? That’s gonna be weird.’ And the first time we were in a house, the two of us, it was weird. Nice. But we missed having heaps of people around.”

Through LuckyChap, Margot and Tom went on to produce a number of blockbuster movies including I,Tonya and Promising Young Woman.

As for the secret to their happy marriage, the 33-year-old has revealed communication is key, and has said they never spend more than three weeks apart.

Speaking to Porter magazine back in 2018, Robbie said: “Even if we both have to fly to a country in-between where we both are for one night, we’ll do it and then fly back to work the next day. And we speak all day, every day on the phone.”

“Being married is actually the most fun ever, life got way more fun somehow. I have a responsibility being someone’s wife, I want to be better,” she added.
