LOS ANGELES — For months, Margot Robbie managed to pull off the ultimate Hollywood vanishing act. After the world-shaking success of Barbie, the 35-year-old actress stepped away from the neon-pink spotlight to step into a much more private role: Motherhood.
While Margot and husband Tom Ackerley successfully kept the birth of their son (born October 17, 2024) under wraps for weeks, the “secret” is officially over. Margot is no longer pretending she isn’t a mum—she’s owning it.
“It’s The Best”: Margot Breaks Her Silence
In her most recent public appearances, Margot has ditched the “hush-hush” vibe. While promoting her upcoming film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (slated for late 2025/early 2026), she finally gushed about her new reality.
“If you try to explain it to someone who has kids, you don’t need to because they get it,” Margot told reporters with a laugh. “And if they don’t, it’s probably just really boring to hear. So, you’re just kind of like, ‘It’s the best!'”
The “Aussie” Way: Parenting with Bestie Samara Weaving
It’s not just about her own journey. Margot has recently been spotted supporting her longtime friend and “look-alike” Samara Weaving, who is currently pregnant with her first child. On the red carpet for Ready or Not 2 in March 2026, Margot was seen sharing “mama advice” with Samara, telling her to “do it your way” and ignore the Hollywood noise.
Quick Facts: Margot Robbie’s New Chapter

Why She Kept It Quiet (And Why She’s Stopping Now)
Insiders close to the couple say they are “total homebodies.” After the chaos of the Barbie press tour, Margot wanted a “human experience” away from the cameras. But as her son gets older, Margot is realizing that being a “working mum” in Hollywood is nothing to hide.
From rocking chic maternity looks during her pregnancy to now being the “support system” for other pregnant stars, Margot is proving that you can be a global mogul and a doting mother at the same time.
