Actress Margot Robbie stole our hearts when she played Barbie in the biggest film of 2023, Barbie. So, of course everyone is buzzing that 'mother' is pregnant with her first child.

Margot's pregnancy was confirmed in July 2024 when she was holidaying with her husband Tom Ackerley, who has been her colleague on many projects.

Margot and Tom were recently spotted on the My Old Ass red carpet, a film which they both co-produced. Margot's blossoming bump was on full show as she stunned in a grey body-con dress.

As we await the arrival of their first child it's only natural that Barbie, The Wolf Of Wall Street and Suicide Squad fans want to know more about the man who stole Margot's heart. Here's what you need to know.

Speaking to Vogue, Margot explained her early feelings for Tom, saying: "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, and I was like, 'Of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'"
