Margot Robbie Calls Motherhood “The Best,” Offers Rare Glimpse into Private Life
The ‘Barbie’ Star and Producer, 35, Shares Profound Joy After Welcoming Her First Child with Husband Tom Ackerley, 35.
Hollywood darling and ‘Barbie’ sensation, Margot Robbie, 35, has offered a rare and heartwarming glimpse into her private world, openly declaring motherhood to be “the best” experience. In a candid interview with Entertainment Tonight, published Wednesday, August 20, the acclaimed actress and producer shared her profound joy following the recent arrival of her first child with husband, Tom Ackerley. While the couple has maintained a high degree of privacy regarding their family life, reports indicated they welcomed a son, though the exact birth date and his name remain undisclosed to the public. This personal revelation marks a significant, joyful milestone for the power couple.
Robbie, known for her captivating performances and fiercely guarded personal life, expressed a sentiment familiar to many parents. “It’s funny, you try to explain to someone who has kids, you don’t need to because they get it,” she mused. “And if they don’t, it’s probably just really boring to hear.” Without hesitation, she reiterated her overarching feeling: “It’s the best.”
Insiders reveal that the new parents have been cherishing their time as a family in Los Angeles. A source shared that Ackerley’s mother had even flown in from England to lend support during this special time. Known to be “homebodies,” Robbie and Ackerley have found immense happiness in this new chapter, valuing their private moments. “It’s been lovely to spend the time just them, at home with him. They’re so happy,” the source elaborated. Despite her demanding career, which includes “several projects lined up next year,” Robbie is reportedly prioritizing rest and invaluable bonding time with her baby, fully “enjoying motherhood.”
Robbie and Ackerley’s love story began a decade ago, in 2013, on the set of the World War II drama Suite Française. Robbie played the role of Celine Joseph, while Ackerley served as an assistant director. Their professional collaboration blossomed into romance, leading to their intimate December 2016 wedding in Australia’s picturesque Byron Bay, a ceremony shrouded in privacy much like their current journey into parenthood. Their enduring partnership has been a cornerstone of both their personal and professional lives, culminating in the co-founding of their production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, which brought us the blockbuster hit Barbie.
Even amidst their newfound parental bliss, the couple has been spotted sharing tender moments. Last month, they were photographed on a hotel balcony in Naples, Italy, their arms wrapped around each other as Ackerley affectionately kissed Robbie’s head. In April, they enjoyed a relaxing beach outing on the Gold Coast of Robbie’s native Australia, with the actress seen splashing happily in the surf in a pale purple two-piece swimsuit. These glimpses offer a sweet reflection of their strong bond and contented family life, away from the glare of Hollywood.
As Margot Robbie navigates the joyous complexities of motherhood while balancing her flourishing career, her heartfelt declaration underscores a profound happiness. For fans, these rare insights into her personal life provide a heartwarming reminder of the universal joys of starting a family, cementing her status not just as a global superstar, but also as a devoted new mother.
