    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 set of the World War II drama Suite Française. While Margot wowed in front of the camera, Tom was the assistant director behind the scenes for the film.

    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.

    Baby rumors first sparked when the Barbie star was recently pictured in Italy

    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 really 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.

    “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 said in an interview in 2018

    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 definitely not at the moment. That’s 100 percent certain.”

    Too many women and men, even some film stars, will have children regardless of not being sufficiently educated about child-development science to ensure parenting in a psychologically functional/healthy manner. It's not that they necessarily are ‘bad parents’. Rather, many seem to perceive thus treat human procreative ‘rights’ as though they (potential parents) will somehow, in blind anticipation, be innately inclined to sufficiently understand and appropriately nurture their children’s naturally developing minds and needs. In Childhood Disrupted the author writes that even “well-meaning and loving parents can unintentionally do harm to a child if they are not well informed about human development” (pg.24). As liberal democracies, we cannot prevent anyone from bearing children, not even the plainly incompetent and reckless procreators. We can, however, educate all young people for the most important job ever, even those high-school-ers who plan to remain childless.

    [Cont.] If nothing else, such child-development curriculum could offer students an idea/clue as to whether they’re emotionally suited for the immense responsibility and strains of parenthood. Given what is at stake, should they not at least be equipped with such valuable science-based knowledge? Regardless of celebrity status, being caring and competent, loving and knowledgeable parents [about factual child-development science] should matter most when deciding to procreate. A physically and mentally sound future should be every child’s fundamental right — along with air, water, food and shelter — especially considering the very troubled world into which they never asked to enter. Particularly one in which too often Mom and Dad stop loving each other, frequently fight and eventually divorce.
