ALBAWABA - The 34-year-old Barbie actress Margot Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, are reportedly expecting their first child, according to several sources who spoke with PEOPLE.

Margot Robbie and Ackerley, both 34 years old, first crossed paths in 2013 while filming the WWII drama Suite Française. Robbie was an assistant director, while Ackerley was an actress. 
After that, at a small ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia, in December 2016, they tied the knot. Before their wedding, the couple kept quiet about their engagement.

In addition to Ackerley, Robbi's childhood friends Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara make up the LuckyChap production team; the three of them were initially friends.

They first crossed paths in 2013 on the set of Suite Française, when she was an actress and he was an assistant director. 

I embodied the epitome of a single woman. She had previously told people that their early affair was so horrible that it left her sick to her stomach. 

Then this happened to me. For a long time, we were pals. Even though I knew he loved me, I never let myself believe that he would return my feelings. Margot, keep things normal.

It's not foolish to say that you like him. "Of course we're together," was my reaction when it occurred. She gushed, "This makes sense in a way that nothing has ever made sense."

Their relationship began in 2014, and they tied the knot in 2016.

She told The Daily Telegraph in 2016 that the advice from other couples in the profession to not spend more than three weeks without seeing one another is the most useful thing they've taught her.

When you can't see a way out of your long-distance relationship's current predicament, it may be really challenging. She went on to say, "The three-week rule is key" because it may screw with your brain.

They kept their romance under wraps and didn't appear together on the red carpet until 2017, over a year after their wedding.
