What the expert says...
Reports in People say that Robbie and husband Tom Ackerley are expecting first child
People reported on Monday that 34-year-old Robbie is expecting her first baby although representatives for her and her husband did not respond to requests for comment.
The couple married back in 2016 in Australia's Byron Bay in what was a shock at the time with their engagement never being announced before the wedding.
Robbie and Ackerley founded the production company LuckyChap Entertainment alongside Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr and this has helped with more creative control behind the camera for Robbie.
LuckyChap has produced massive movies in the past few years including Barbie and Saltburn which both were big hits at the Box Office and on Prime Video respectively.
Further odds look at chances of Barbie 2 being announced in next 18 months
The success of Barbie saw the movie make more than £1.1bn at the Box Office globally and that success of course means that the studio will want to see a sequel released.
Warner Bros boss Pam Abdy has said that the studio would love to make Barbie 2 a reality but it would ultimately be the decision of director Greta Gerwig.
Latest odds though say there's just a 20% chance of the movie being announced in the next 18 months with the betting odds currently at 4/1 for the movie to be confirmed.
