Margot Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, are on the brink of a new and exciting chapter in their lives as they prepare to welcome their first child together.
Recently, the Barbie star was spotted in Sardinia, Italy, proudly displaying her growing baby bump during a relaxing lunch outing with her husband and friends.
On August 26, 2024, Robbie was seen enjoying some downtime with Ackerley as they took in the Italian summer.
The glowing actress looked effortlessly chic in loose black pants paired with a white button-down shirt, which highlighted her baby bump. She completed her laid-back but stylish look with a black woven sun hat and Prada sunglasses, perfect for keeping the Mediterranean sun at bay.

Ackerley, her husband of nine years, kept his attire simple yet classic, wearing khaki shorts, a white T-shirt, black Birkenstock sandals, and sunglasses. The couple appeared to be enjoying a carefree afternoon with friends, looking relaxed and content. In one sweet moment captured by the paparazzi, Robbie cradled her bump while smiling at Ackerley, who affectionately tapped her chin.
Despite the heartwarming nature of these photos, not all reactions were positive. Some online users were quick to criticize Robbie for showing off her baby bump.
One commenter rudely questioned: “Why must these pregnant celebs n other women show their pregnant belly? No one believes in maternity clothes no more???😮[sic].”
Another harshly added: “Put it away, lady. Some things are meant to be kept private. Have you no pride??”
Others expressed similar sentiments, with one user asking: “How about a bit of modesty and manners when pregnant?” while another wondered: “Why do pregnant women think everyone wants to see their baby bump?”

These negative reactions only serve to highlight the ongoing debate over celebrities’ choices to embrace their pregnancies publicly, particularly when it comes to how they dress and present themselves during such a special time.
However, many fans came to Robbie’s defense, sharing their admiration for the actress and her pregnancy glow.
One supporter wrote: “She is going to be the best mumma. She is just such a lovely person,” while another commented: “Beautiful all over. Love a baby bump.”
Several fans praised her for looking “stunning” and pointed out how happy and radiant she appeared. “It’s a special time in a woman’s life. She looks beautiful and happy,” one admirer noted.
Robbie, who had previously expressed her desire to start a family when the time was right, seems to be embracing this moment with joy. In a 2018 interview, she spoke about her future, saying: “I want to see a big Christmas dinner with tons of kids there, but definitely not at the moment. That’s 100 percent certain,” per People.
Now, six years later, that moment has arrived, and the About Time star is relishing every bit of it.
News of Robbie’s pregnancy first broke in July 2024, when the couple was seen vacationing in Lake Como.
Robbie once again showcased her baby bump, this time in a cropped white T-shirt and black trousers, adding a sophisticated touch with a black blazer. Her blonde hair was styled in a sleek cut, and she opted for a natural makeup look, letting her pregnancy glow shine through.
Despite the occasional yet unnecessary backlash, Robbie continues to enjoy this precious time, embracing both her style and the upcoming arrival of her first child with grace and happiness.
