Margot Robbie's "Barbie" Era Extends to Motherhood, Billie Eilish Pranks Her with Home-Request
Margot Robbie, the Hollywood star who embodies the "Barbie" era on screen and off, is reportedly expecting her first child with husband Tom Ackerley. While neither the actress nor her producer husband, both 34, has publicly confirmed the news, Robbie was spotted with a visible baby bump while vacationing in Lake Como.
The couple has since been seen together at Wimbledon, showcasing their love and hinting at exciting changes on the horizon.
In a new video with Elle, singer Billie Eilish, Robbie's collaborator on the "Barbie" soundtrack, pranks some of her famous friends with outlandish requests. Among the calls, Eilish rings Robbie while she's on set, asking for her home to be used as a setting for a fictional music video.
Their banter is warm and friendly, with Robbie affectionately addressing Eilish as "my love" and gushing about her new album, "Hit Me Hard and Soft."
However, the prank takes a twist when Robbie reveals she is in the middle of moving, or at least extensively remodeling her home.
"I ordinarily would say [expletive] yeah, but we are packing up our house tomorrow," Margot said, leaving Billie to silently mouth to the watching production team "Wait, what?" at the coincidence of it all.
The call was likely filmed before news of Robbie's pregnancy broke, adding an extra layer of intrigue. She and Ackerley own a luxurious beach house in Venice Beach, California, which they purchased for $5 million in 2021. They were also reportedly searching for a property in Byron Bay, Australia, where Robbie is originally from.
The unexpected twist in the prank highlights the close bond between the two stars, who have formed a strong friendship through their work on "Barbie" and the subsequent awards circuit. While Eilish nervously jokes about her prank, Robbie plays along with humor and warmth, showcasing the genuine affection they share.
As the "Barbie" era continues for Robbie, both on and off the screen, the upcoming arrival of her first child adds a new chapter to her story, one filled with joy, love, and a new chapter in her life as a mother.
