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 took place in the afternoon, around 3 PM local time, while the family was relaxing by the pool. Witnesses at the scene stated that Margot Robbie was near the poolside with her husband and some relatives when the young boy—whose name has not been publicly disclosed—suddenly slipped and fell into the water. The family immediately rushed to pull him from the pool.

According to Italian media, the child was rescued within a few minutes, but he was found unconscious and unresponsive. A doctor who happened to be nearby was able to perform emergency first aid while awaiting the arrival of paramedics. The child was then rushed to a local hospital by ambulance, where medical staff continued resuscitation efforts and began intensive treatment.

A spokesperson for Margot Robbie confirmed that an accident had indeed taken place and that the child is currently under medical care in a stable but closely monitored condition. The family declined to provide further details and has requested privacy during 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 near water. A child safety expert in Italy commented: “A child can drown in less than 30 seconds. Just one moment of distraction can lead to devastating consequences. This is a sobering reminder for all parents to stay vigilant, especially near pools or beaches.”

The incident has drawn immediate attention and concern from millions of fans around the world. Margot Robbie, best known for her roles as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad and most recently as the lead in the blockbuster Barbie, is known for keeping her personal life private. She married Tom Ackerley in 2016 after years of friendship. The couple resides discreetly in Los Angeles and rarely shares information about their family or children with the media.

News of them having a child only surfaced recently when Margot was seen 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.

At this time, doctors have not released an official statement on the child’s condition. However, a source close to the hospital revealed that the boy has shown positive responses to emergency treatment and is currently being monitored in the intensive care unit. Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley have remained at the hospital by his side without leaving.

As the world anxiously awaits further updates, 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, wrote on Instagram: “My heart is with Margot and her family. Hoping for a miracle.”

This incident is not only a major emotional blow for Margot Robbie and her loved ones, but also a stark reminder of life’s fragility and the critical importance of child safety. Fans around the world are united in hope for a full and swift recovery for the innocent young boy.
