“It’s hard to put into words,” she said. “If someone already has children, they understand right away. For others, it might not hold much interest.”
She summed it up with a smile: “It’s the best, you know?”
This marks the first time the 35-year-old has shared her thoughts publicly since becoming a mother. The talk happened at a Los Angeles event on August 20, 2025, where she appeared alongside co-star Colin Farrell.
A Private Path to Parenthood
Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, welcomed their son on October 17, 2024. The couple, who met on the set of Suite Française in 2013, tied the knot in a quiet ceremony in Australia in 2016. They run a production company together called LuckyChap Entertainment.
Sources close to them say the pair had hoped for a child for some time. One insider told People magazine: “They waited a long time to get pregnant, so it was almost unbelievable when the baby actually arrived.”
Now, they focus on quiet family life. “They’re homebodies, so it’s been lovely to spend time just them, at home with him,” the source added. “They’re so happy.”
The pair has chosen to keep details like the boy’s name under wraps, prioritizing privacy amid their busy careers.
Robbie, born in Queensland, Australia, rose to fame with roles in films like The Wolf of Wall Street and Suicide Squad. Her turn in Barbie in 2023 earned widespread praise. Ackerley, a British producer, has worked on projects like I, Tonya.
Mixed Reactions from Fans Online
News of Robbie’s comments sparked varied responses across social media. Many fans celebrated her happiness, sharing well-wishes on platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
However, some discussions turned negative. On Reddit, users pointed out harsh comments about the baby being a boy, with a few extreme voices expressing disappointment or worse. One post highlighted: “People literally wishing a cot death on a newborn.”
Such backlash ties into broader talks on gender expectations in parenting. Despite this, positive messages dominate, with supporters praising Robbie’s grounded approach to family.
