The Daily Mail reports that the couple welcomed their child—a healthy baby boy—on October 17, 2024. Apparently, this was just slightly ahead of schedule, but sources tell the outlet that “all is well” with the new family of three.

The 34-year-old actress, who had been keeping busy throughout her pregnancy, has been nesting at her Venice Beach home with Ackerley, preparing for their little one’s arrival. According to People magazine, the couple had “wanted to be parents for a really long time and are so happy.”
The news comes just days after Ackerley was spotted doing what new dads do best: stocking up on baby supplies near their home. The English film producer was reportedly seen collecting eco-conscious diapers from Coterie, along with what appeared to be celebration supplies (including cigars and wine—presumably for toasting their new arrival!)
While the notoriously private couple hasn’t made any public announcements yet, the Daily Mail reports that the couple’s proud grandparents are reportedly preparing to fly to LA to meet their newest family member—who will be the 12th grandchild for Ackerley’s parents.
For those who’ve followed Robbie’s love story with Ackerley, this new chapter feels like the perfect next step. The couple, who met in 2013 on the set of Suite Française, have always had a refreshingly authentic approach to romance. Robbie once candidly shared with Vogue that she was “the ultimate single gal” before Ackerley came along. “The idea of relationships made me want to vomit,” she admitted. “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.’ […] 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.”
The couple tied the knot in 2016 and have since built both a beautiful marriage and a successful production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, together. This seamless partnership now extends into parenthood, marking their most exciting joint production yet.
Robbie was last seen in public on October 13, 2024, leaving an editing studio in Los Angeles, staying true to her reputation as someone who loves to stay busy—even while preparing for motherhood. The actress had also enjoyed a romantic “babymoon” with Ackerley in Sardinia, Italy, in late August 2024, before settling in for the final weeks of her pregnancy.
While representatives have yet to comment on the happy news, we’re sending our warmest congratulations to the new parents!
