Rome, Italy – A heartbreaking incident has just occurred in Italy, involving the family of acclaimed actress Margot Robbie. According to local sources, approximately 30 minutes ago, the firstborn son of Margot Robbie and her husband, British film producer Tom Ackerley, accidentally fell into a swimming pool while the family was vacationing at a private villa in Tuscany, central Italy.
The accident reportedly occurred in the afternoon, around 3:00 p.m. local time, while the family was relaxing poolside. Witnesses at the scene stated that Margot Robbie was near the pool with her husband and some family members when the child—whose name has not been publicly revealed—suddenly slipped and fell into the water. The family immediately rushed to pull him out of the pool.

According to Italian media, the child was rescued a few minutes later, but was unconscious and inert. A nearby doctor was able to provide first aid while waiting for paramedics to arrive. The child was rushed by ambulance to a local hospital, where medical personnel continued resuscitation efforts and began intensive treatment.
A spokesperson for Margot Robbie confirmed that an accident did indeed occur and that the child is currently in stable medical care, but under close monitoring. The family declined to provide further details and has requested privacy at this sensitive time.
The exact cause of the incident remains unclear, but it appears to be a tragic accident, a common risk for young children around water. A child safety expert in Italy commented: “A child can drown in less than 30 seconds. A single moment of inattention can have devastating consequences. This is a sobering reminder for all parents to remain vigilant, especially near pools or beaches.”
The incident has generated immediate concern and attention among millions of fans around the world. Margot Robbie, known for her roles as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad and, more recently, as the star of the hit film Barbie, is known for keeping her private life private. She married Tom Ackerley in 2016 after years of friendship. The couple resides quietly in Los Angeles and rarely shares information about their family or children with the media.
News of their pregnancy broke recently when Margot was spotted with a noticeably rounded belly during a public outing in February 2025. However, neither she nor Ackerley had officially confirmed the birth of their child until this tragic incident prompted a public statement.
So far, doctors have not issued an official statement regarding the child’s condition. However, a source close to the hospital revealed that the child has responded positively to emergency treatment and is in the intensive care unit. Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley have remained by her side in the hospital.
While the world anxiously awaits further news, numerous Hollywood stars and fans have taken to social media to send their prayers and support to the Robbie-Ackerley family. Actress Nicole Kidman, a close friend of Margot’s, wrote on Instagram: “My heart goes out to Margot and her family. I’m hoping for a miracle.”
This incident is not only a severe emotional blow to Margot Robbie and her loved ones, but also a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the crucial importance of child safety. Fans around the world are united in their hopes for a speedy and full recovery for the innocent child.
