Australian actress Margot Robbie, known for her iconic role in Barbie, has reportedly welcomed her first child. The 34-year-old actress gave birth to a baby boy with her husband, British actor and film producer Tom Ackerley, per reports. Although the couple has not made an official announcement or revealed the name of their son, Robbie reportedly went into labor two weeks ago, slightly ahead of her due date, according to reports.
Robbie’s pregnancy first became public in July when she was spotted vacationing in Italy with Ackerley. The couple, who met on the set of the World War II drama Suite Francaise and married in a private ceremony in Byron Bay in 2016, have often kept their relationship low-key. Robbie has previously described herself as the “ultimate single gal” before their romance blossomed, but later admitted that Ackerley changed her perspective on love, saying their relationship made “so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.”

In a major development in Georgia’s longest-running criminal trial, rapper Young Thug, born Jeffery Lamar Williams, has entered a guilty plea, according to reports. This unexpected move comes after more than a year of legal proceedings that began with jury selection in January 2023, and marked by frequent delays and widespread public interest. Young Thug was charged under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act for allegedly leading the street gang Young Slime Life (YSL).
The indictment accused the group of numerous serious crimes, including murder, armed robbery, drug trafficking, and carjacking, and alleged links to the nationwide Bloods gang. The rapper’s guilty plea follows a series of plea deals accepted by three co-defendants and a near-mistrial prompted by a recent prosecutorial error. Under the terms of the non-negotiated plea, Young Thug was sentenced to time served and released from custody, with an additional 15 years of probation.
