For such a dazzling film starlet, a subdued pregnancy announcement via candid photos may seem surprisingly quiet. However, this low-key confirmation is not unusual for the Suicide Squad actress, who has kept her personal life, including her relationship with Ackerly, out of the public eye.
Still, fans can learn how the soon-to-be parents met in a 2016 Vogue interview with the Birds of Prey star. According to the article, the married couple met while working on the 2014 film Suite Française, set after the Oscar-nominated actress had sworn off love.
“I was the ultimate single gal,” the Babylon star shared. “The idea of relationships made me want to vomit. And then this crept up on me.” Robbie also expressed her initial trepidation about telling Ackerly, who she described to Vogue as “the best-looking guy in London,” how she felt.
“We were friends for so long,” the Focus actress recalled. “I was always in love with him, but I thought, Oh, he would never love me back…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.”
Margot Robbie is pregnant with her first child couldn’t be happier for her and Tom.
