It's been nine months since Barbie star Margot Robbie, 35, welcomed her first child with husband Tom Ackerley, and we finally get a glimpse into what makes her tick as a new mom. In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, the blonde beauty dished about becoming a mother for the first time, and let's just say it's a game-changer.

When asked to describe what it's like being a mom, Margot gave us a juicy tidbit: "It's like trying to explain to someone who has kids – you don't need to because they get it, and if they don't, it’s probably just really boring to hear." Ouch! Sounds like she's got a witty response ready for anyone who asks her about motherhood.

But what we really want to know is: how does she balance work and parenthood? The insider spill some tea on this one: "They waited a long time to get pregnant, so it was almost unbelievable when the baby actually arrived." We can only imagine the excitement (and stress) of becoming parents for the first time.

As for their little bundle of joy, Margot's son is reportedly doing amazingly well. The insider continued: "They've both been settling into being parents. They're homebodies so it's been lovely to spend the time just them, at home with him." Ah, can you picture it? Margot and Tom cozied up at home with their newborn – it's almost too adorable!

But enough about baby bliss; let's get back to reality. The talented actress has a new movie coming out called A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, in which she stars alongside Colin Farrell. We got our first look at the trailer in June, and trust us, it looks like it's going to be a wild ride.

The romantic fantasy flick follows Sarah (played by Margot) and David (played by Colin), who meet at a mutual friend's wedding and embark on an otherworldly adventure through their pasts. Yes, you read that right – they travel back in time to relive their most pivotal moments together!

We've been following Margot's career for years, and it seems like she's always on top of her game. In an interview with Deadline last year, she opened up about stepping back from acting: "I also think everyone's probably sick of the sight of me for now... I should probably disappear from screens for a while." Guess we won't be seeing her as often in movies anytime soon!

On-Screen Absence

But don't worry, Margot hasn't disappeared completely. She's got several projects lined up, including Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights adaptation alongside Jacob Elordi. Talk about a star-studded lineup! And did you know that she's also producing the classic through her production company LuckyChap Entertainment?
