There is happy news coming from Hollywood: Actress Margot Robbie, 34, and her film producer husband Tom Ackerley, 34, are expecting their first child, People Magazine reports. The site notes that the couple did not comment on the news themselves, but knowledgeable sources confirmed it.
Rumors about Robbie's new status began earlier on Sunday, after paparazzi photos of the couple, who are currently on vacation at Lake Como in Italy, showed the star wearing a tank top that hinted at a pregnancy.
With the publication of the photos, the gossip sites were careful not to make assumptions that could be wrong - unlike some of the surfers who were quick to wish them congratulations.
Robbie previously expressed her displeasure with the media's excessive interest in her family plans. "I got married and the first thing they ask me in every interview is when I will have a baby. It makes me angry that it is considered a social contract – you are married so get pregnant. Don't make assumptions, I will do what I will do."
The parents-to-be met in 2013 on the set of the film "French Suite," in which Robbie performed and Ackerly was an assistant director. They married three years later in the town of Byron Bay in Australia, the star's native country.
During their marriage, they founded a production company, which was behind Robbie's successful films: "I, Tonya", "Birds of Prey" and, of course, "Barbie."
Ackerly recently said in an interview that the fact that the two work together does not make the relationship difficult: "It works smoothly, we don't have an off switch and an on switch, everything goes together."
