Margot Robbie and husband Tom Ackerley are relieved that their pregnancy news is out as it has been revealed that they ‘really wanted’ to be parents early in their relationship.

The 34-year-old actress and 34-year-old producer have ‘wanted to start a family for quite some time’ according to sources for People on Tuesday.

The happy news was confirmed earlier this week and the power couple are said to be glad that it is out there as they focus on becoming parents for the first time.

An insider told the weekly: ‘Family means a lot to both of them and they knew early on in their relationship being parents was something they really wanted.

‘They’ve been keeping it under wraps for a while but are happy the news is out.’

Margot Robbie and husband Tom Ackerley are relieved that their pregnancy news is out as it has been revealed that they ‘really wanted’ to be parents early in their relationship according to sources for People on Tuesday; they are seen in Lake Como, Italy on Sunday as Margot debuted her baby bump

Multiple sources had confirmed the exciting news for the couple, who met on the set of the World War II drama Suite Française in 2013, to People on Monday.

In photos obtained by DailyMail.com on Sunday, the Barbie actress could be seen proudly displaying her small, but visible baby bump in a white crop top. 

The three-time Oscar nominee looked in high spirits as she bared her stomach while boarding a boat during a holiday to Lake Como with her spouse. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to both Robbie and Ackerley’s representatives. 

The couple met in 2014, married in 2016 and are co-producers on a number of projects, including Hulu’s Dollface, through their production company LuckyCap Entertainment.

The couple met while working on Suite Française in 2013, where he was an assistant director and she was in front of the camera. 

‘I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit,’ she told People previously of their early romance. 

‘And then this crept up on me. 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.

A source said: ‘Family means a lot to both of them and they knew early on in their relationship being parents was something they really wanted. ‘They’ve been keeping it under wraps for a while but are happy the news is out’; the couple are seen in Beverly hills in January 2018

‘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,’ she said

They started dating the following year in 2014 and got married in 2016.

‘The most helpful thing I’ve learned from other couples in this industry is that you don’t go more than three weeks without seeing each other,’ she told The Daily Telegraph in 2016.

‘Being in a long-distance relationship can be really hard when you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. It can mess with your head, so the three-week rule is key,’ she added.

The couple keep their relationship largely out of the public eye and didn’t walk the red carpet together until 2017, almost a full year after their wedding.

But, when it comes to working with Tom, she’s all in.  

‘I’m a great advocate of doing business with your partner,’ she told Porter in 2018.

 ‘Being married is actually the most fun ever, life got way more fun somehow. I have a responsibility being someone’s wife, I want to be better,’ she gushed.

The couple have worked together on several projects including I, Tonya, Birds of Prey and Barbie. 

Just last week Tom revealed they spend ’24 hours a day’ together in a rare joint interview.

‘It’s seamless,’ the Englishman described to The Sunday Times.

‘We don’t have a toggle on, toggle off. It’s all become one thing.’

The Boston Strangler producer – who began his career as an extra in the Harry Potter films – said he ‘feels like an honorary Aussie’ and ‘Margot feels like an honorary Brit’ despite the inseparable couple arguing over ‘whether Tim Tams or Penguins are better.’

Tom and Margot are seen together at the 96th Annual Academy Awards on March 10, 2024

Audiences can next catch Tom and Margot producing Megan Park’s comedy My Old A** – hitting limited US theaters September 13 – which stars Aubrey Plaza, Maisy Stella, and Maddie Ziegler.

The producing pair are also overseeing Molly Smith Metzler’s Netflix limited series Sirens, which is based on her play Elemeno Pea about ‘women, power, and class.’

LuckyChap Entertainment – which scored a first-look deal with Warner Bros. in February – will also reportedly produce Olivia Wilde’s superhero flick Avengelyne, Katie Herron’s dramedy based on the Electronic Arts video game The Sims, and Tim Story’s film based on the Hasbro board game Monopoly.

Acting-wise, Margot will portray Sarah in Kogonda’s drama A Big Bold Beautiful Journey co-starring Colin Farrell.
