    Margot Robbie is taking in the sights in Europe amid reports that the "Barbie" star is pregnant with her first child.

    On Friday, the 34-year-old actor and her husband Tom Ackerley made their first public appearance since speculation about their parents-to-be status began. The couple were out in London for the Wimbledon men's semifinal , and in some photos from the sporting event Robbie can be seen cradling her stomach.

    In one photo published by TMZ, Ackerley is also caressing her lower belly.

    Earlier this month, reports of Robbie's pregnancy swirled after the Daily Mail published photos of Robbie on an Italian vacation near Lake Como with Ackerley. She was pictured boarding a boat wearing a cropped white shirt with her midriff exposed.

    The following day, People reported Robbie was expecting, citing "multiple sources." USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Robbie for comment.

    Robbie has been married to Ackerley, a producer, since 2016. They co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment, a production company that has produced films like " Barbie ," Saltburn " and " Promising Young Woman ."

    Margot Robbie said she'd take time off acting after 'Barbie'

    The " Suicide Squad " star previously indicated she would take some time off from acting after the massive success of the Greta Gerwig comedy.

    "It's already been more than a year since I was on set as an actor, and other than COVID, that's the first time that's ever happened," she told Deadline in an interview published in January.

    "I also think everyone's probably sick of the sight of me for now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while. Honestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would say, 'Her again? We just did a whole summer with her. We're over it.'"

    Margot Robbie reflects on impact of 'Barbie,' Oscars snubs: 'There's no way to feel sad'

    " Barbie " became the highest-grossing movie of 2023 with a box office haul of over $1 billion worldwide. It was also nominated for eight Oscars and won for best original song .

    Robbie was nominated at the Oscars as a producer of "Barbie" but not for her lead performance, a controversial snub that even former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton weighed in on.

    When did Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley meet?

    Robbie and Ackerley met in 2013 on the set of the movie "Suite Française," on which he served as third assistant director.

    The actress told Vogue that she was the "ultimate single gal" before meeting her future husband, and "the idea of relationships made me want to vomit."

    "We were friends for so long," she added. "I was always in love with him, but I thought, 'Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird, Margot. Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him.' And then it happened, and I was like, 'Of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'"

    Margot Robbie never thought she'd have 'empathy for a doll.' Then she made 'Barbie.'

    In a 2019 interview with Radio Times, the "Wolf of Wall Street" actress said she was "angry" that people constantly asked her when she was going to have children after her wedding.

    "I got married, and the first question in almost every interview is 'Babies? When are you having one?'" she said, per Sky News . "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.'"

    Robbie's upcoming projects include "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey," a film by Kogonada that she will star in opposite Colin Farrell . She's also staying busy behind the camera and is set to produce movies based on the video game " The Sims " and the board game " Monopoly ."
