Margot Robbie has shared her first comments about motherhood, nine months after welcoming her first child with husband Tom Ackerley.
The Barbie star, 35, gave birth to her son in October 2024, and on Wednesday, she described being a mom as ‘the best’ in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
The blonde beauty was promoting her new movie, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, when she opened up about becoming a mom for the first time.
‘It’s like, [when] 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,’ she said.
‘So, it’s kind of like, “It’s the best,” you know?’ the actress added.
The two new parents are said to be over the moon with their son.

‘They waited a long time to get pregnant, so it was almost unbelievable when the baby actually arrived,’ an insider told People in November.
‘They’ve both been settling into being parents. They’re homebodies so it’s been lovely to spend the time just them, at home with him,’ the insider added.
‘They’re so happy.’
Margot’s pregnancy was made public in July, and the couple enjoyed a romantic ‘babymoon’ to Sardinia, Italy, at the end of August.
The couple welcomed their son in October, and have yet to reveal their child’s name.
They got married in 2016 and are co-producers on a number of projects, including Hulu’s Dollface, through their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.
On Wednesday, Margot looked stunning as she joined her co-star Colin Farrell at a photocall for A Big Bold Beautiful Journey in Los Angeles.
The actress wore a semi-sheer mini dress, that featured a corset top, for the event which took place at Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Romantic fantasy flick A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is set for release in the US and UK on September 19.

The movie tells the story of Sarah (Robbie) and David (Farrell), who meet at a mutual friend’s wedding and are soon swept up in an otherworldly adventure to relive their past milestone moments together.
Sony Pictures has released the first trailer in June for the film, that follows the two strangers on a bizarre journey through their own pasts.
They discover a strange door in the woods that is somehow a portal to their pasts, as they relive their core memories together, like David’s unrequited love and Sarah’s mother dying.
The film also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Hamish Linklater, Lily Rabe, Billy Magnussen and Jodie Turner-Smith, and hits cinemas on September 19.
Fans are already showering praise on the movie after the first footage was released, with some even calling it the ‘movie of the year’.
Margot has been very busy despite sensationally announcing in 2023 that she would be stepping back from acting for a stint.
As well as appearing in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, the actress has been filming Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights adaptation alongside fellow Aussie Jacob Elordi.
Margot is also producing the classic via her production company LuckyChap Entertainment.
The Suicide Squad alum previously said she was planning on hitting the breaks following the success of her lead role in Barbie.

Speaking to Deadline, she said she intended to work off-screen after years of building her acting portfolio.
She added that she wanted to take a break from starring in movies as she thinks everyone is ‘sick’ of seeing her after her role in Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster.
‘I also think everyone’s probably sick of the sight of me for now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while,’ she said.
‘Honestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would say, “Her again? We just did a whole summer with her. We’re over it.” I don’t know what I’ll do next, but I hope it’s a little while away.’
