Margot Robbie welcomes first child reports
Barbie star Margot Robbie's pregnancy became public in the summer when holidaying in Italy with her husband Tom Ackerley. Now she's reportedly given birth.

Margot Robbie has reportedly given birth to her first child.

The Australian actress has welcomed a baby boy with her husband, British actor and film producer Tom Ackerley, according to People magazine.

The couple have not publicly announced the arrival or revealed the baby's name.

The 34-year-old actress went into labour two weeks ago, shortly before her due date, according to the Mail On Sunday.

Robbie's pregnancy became public in July, when the couple were pictured on holiday in Italy, followed by several red carpet appearances.

Robbie and Ackerley married in Byron Bay in 2016 after meeting three years previously on the set of World War II drama Suite Francaise.

Prior to becoming a couple, Robbie described herself as the "ultimate single gal" in an interview with Vogue.

She said Ackerley changed all that, and after being friends "for so long," eventually "it happened".

The Barbie actress went on to say their relationship "makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before".

Robbie and Ackerley founded production company LuckyChap Entertainment in 2014, along with British assistant director Josey McNamara and Australian film producer Sophie Kerr.

Championing female-focused film and TV, it has been involved with movies including Barbie and Saltburn, and the Netflix series Maid.

Sky News has reached out to representatives for Robbie and Ackerley for comment.
