This Barbie doll is transitioning into her Midge phase.
Even though Margot Robbie's "Barbie" character is no longer her go-to fashion inspiration during pregnancy, the actress is still putting her own unique spin on maternity style as she prepares to welcome her first child with husband Tom Ackerley.
The actress was spotted on July 7 wearing a short top and it seemed like she might be pregnant while on vacation with her husband in Lake Como, Italy. Later, various sources told People magazine that Robbie is indeed expecting a baby.
E! News has attempted to contact the representatives of the couple but has not received a response.
The couple's next phase is starting after more than seven years of marriage in a small ceremony in Australia. Robbie has always wanted to expand her family with Ackerley.
"In an interview with Porter in 2018, Robbie shared his vision for the future, saying he envisions a large Christmas dinner surrounded by many children. However, he made it clear that this is not something he sees happening at the present moment."
Margot Robbie's Style Inspired by Barbie
The couple's romantic tale goes back over ten years when Robbie, who is 34 years old, first encountered Ackerley, who is also 34, while they were working on the set of the movie "Suite Française" in 2014. Robbie acted in the film alongside Michelle Williams, while Ackerley worked as the third assistant director behind the scenes. Although Robbie felt an immediate connection, she believed that her feelings were not reciprocated.
Robbie confessed to Vogue in 2016 that he had always had feelings for him, but thought that his feelings would never be reciprocated. He urged himself not to make things awkward by revealing his feelings. However, when they finally got together, everything fell into place and it felt like the most natural thing in the world.
And for the couple - who got married in 2016 - they are not only husband and wife and soon-to-be parents. Together with their friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr, Robbie and Ackerley are the founders of LuckyChap Entertainment, a company that has produced many successful films including her movies "I, Tonya" and "Barbie."
Despite living a hectic life in Hollywood, she chooses to keep her romantic relationship private. She describes her husband as a "normie" because he does not engage in celebrity culture. She considers herself fortunate to have someone who prefers to stay out of the spotlight and is unaffected by fame. During an interview at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, Robbie expressed her gratitude for her husband's comfort behind the scenes.
"He's amazing, it's really enjoyable," she went on. "I enjoy the term 'normie,' it's true, all my friends, everyone's like, 'That's great what you do but it's more entertaining to just relax and chat about other things.' And you're like, 'I understand.'"
