Margot Robbie has given birth to her first child with husband Tom Ackerley, The Mail on Sunday revealed. It is understood that the 34-year-old Australian star went into labour two weeks ago, shortly before her due date, and “all is well”. The delighted grandparents are now preparing to fly to LA to meet the new arrival.
Friends and family of the couple have stayed tight-lipped on news of the baby – a boy born on October 17 – to guard their privacy. It will be the 12th grandchild for Margot’s proud in-laws, who still live in Surrey, where Ackerley was born and raised. The news comes a few days after Ackerly, 34, was spotted stocking up on baby supplies near the couple’s home in Venice Beach.
The English film producer collected a box of eco-conscious nappies from Coterie, along with a box of cigars and a bottle of wine – perhaps to toast baby’s arrival. The Barbie star, who reportedly loves to “stay busy” – has been working on and off throughout her pregnancy on various projects, while juggling hospital visits. A source told People that “Margot absolutely can’t wait” to be a mum, with the magazine also reporting the pair have “wanted to be parents for a really long time and are so happy”.
