Margot Robbie welcomed her first child, a son, in October 2024, and the actress is making rare comments on motherhood, calling it “the best.”

Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, have yet to reveal their 10-month-old son’s name, but in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, she said of the experience, “It’s funny, you try to explain to someone who has kids, you don’t need to because they get it. And if they don’t, it’s probably just really boring to hear.”

After the baby’s birth last year, a source told People that Robbie and Acklerley—who met in 2013 and married in 2016—were “so happy.”

“They waited a long time to get pregnant, so it was almost unbelievable when the baby actually arrived,” the insider said. “They’ve both been settling into being parents.”

The Barbie star told the U.K.’s Radio Times in 2019 that even then, six years ago, the public was putting pressure on her to have a baby: “I got married and the first question in almost every interview is, ‘Babies? When are you having one?’” she said. “I’m so angry that there’s this social contract. You’re married, now have a baby. Don’t presume. I’ll do what I’m going to do.”
