Margot Robbie says she has tightened the boundaries around her private life, especially since becoming a mom. In a recent conversation with British Vogue, the actor explained why she avoids discussing her child in interviews and how years in the spotlight reshaped her approach to publicity.
Why Margot Robbie now protects family details
Robbie told the magazine she purposefully avoids talking about her son. She said she wants to shield him from public scrutiny and keep family life off the record. The move reflects a broader change in how she manages fame.

Polska pregnant and betrayed by a close friend: she is very, very shocked
- She declined to answer questions about her one-year-old son.
- Her priority is to keep that part of life private and out of headlines.
- She framed the decision as a protective measure rather than a withdrawal from interviews.
How media missteps shaped her interview style
Early in her career Robbie was more open. Over time, she learned that comments can be distorted. Stories that put words in her mouth led her to pull back.
She said repeated misquoting changed how she speaks publicly. That experience taught her to set clearer limits on topics she’ll discuss.
What changed her mind
- Seeing statements attributed to her that she never made.
- Discovering how quickly context can be lost.
- Realizing she could not control how some outlets framed her words.
Life with Tom Ackerley and their production company
Robbie married producer Tom Ackerley in December 2016. The couple co-founded the production company LuckyChap in 2014 and work closely together.
A partnership that blends work and home
Ackerley told The Times they effectively share all aspects of life, combining family time with professional projects. The pair often move between roles at home and roles at work without strict separation.
- They collaborate on film projects through LuckyChap.
- They reported spending nearly all their time together between projects and parenting.
- The couple tries to keep their child away from public exposure.
Motherhood, public image and career choices
Robbie has called being a mother profoundly rewarding. In recent interviews she described parenthood as the best part of her life, while admitting it’s hard to explain to those without children.
She balances visibility as a star with intentional privacy where it matters most. That balance informs the roles she accepts and the interviews she gives.
Upcoming projects and public appearances
Robbie’s latest film, Wuthering Heights, arrives in theaters on Feb. 13. Even as she promotes new work, she remains selective about personal topics.
- She continues to do press for films but avoids family-focused questions.
- Her public statements emphasize professional matters over private life.
- Fans can expect more focused interviews that highlight her craft.
