This will be the first child born to the Academy Award-nominated actress and the British film producer, who first crossed paths in 2013 on the World War II drama Suite Française set. While Margot wowed in front of the camera, Tom was the film's assistant director behind the scenes.
Fast forward to December 2016, and the lovebirds tied the knot in a private ceremony in Australia’s Byron Bay, having kept their engagement under wraps.

Previously, the Suicide Squad actress spoke about how she never appreciated it when strangers asked her about the status of her motherhood.
She once compared herself to her character of Elizabeth I in the film, Mary Queen of Scots, while talking about the pressures of being a mother.
“It made me angry; how dare some old guy dictate what I can and can’t do when it comes to motherhood or my own body?” she told Radio Times in 2019, as quoted by Sky News. “Unfortunately, it’s a conversation we’re still having.”
“I got married (to film-maker Tom Ackerley, in 2016), and the first question in almost every interview is ‘Babies? When are you having one?’” she added.

She asserted that she would have a baby when it feels right to her and people shouldn’t presume that a woman always wants to transition from wife to mother immediately after tying the knot.
“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,” she added.
The cinematic queen has nevertheless always seemed open to the idea of becoming a mother eventually.
“If I’m looking into my future 30 years from now, I want to see a big Christmas dinner with tons of kids there,” she told Porter magazine in 2018. “But not at the moment. That’s 100 percent certain.”
Well, it looks like that moment has finally arrived, and fans couldn’t be happier for the soon-to-be parents!
