Samara Weaving isn’t just sharing parenting advice; she’s letting people in on the real stuff, the kind you pick up from friends, not parenting books. She’s about to become a mom for the first time, and she’s talking about the support she’s getting from her inner circle. Margot Robbie, her longtime friend (and her lookalike), is part of that crew.The advice? It’s simple. Don’t get lost in everyone else’s opinions. Trust yourself.
Margot Robbie’s parenting advice to Samara Weaving
Samara, the 34-year-old actress who is married to Jimmy Warden (whom she met while filming ‘The Babysitter’ and tied the knot with in 2019), is pregnant with her first child. She announced the pregnancy back in December 2025, posting photos of her baby bump for fans. Lately, she’s been out promoting her new movie, ‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’, showing off bold maternity looks on the red carpet, often with her longtime friend, Margot Robbie, by her side.But behind all the glam, Samara’s been pretty open about what motherhood means to her. She’s leaning on her close friends, especially her Babylon co-star Margot Robbie, for advice. At the Clarins Night of Extra event in LA, she told People, “Oh my gosh, all my girls here who are moms have just been so lovely, and I think what they all tell me is just, ‘You do it your way. Whatever makes you feel comfortable.’” She talked about how society throws so many opinions at women, especially moms-to-be. Her friends just want her to do what feels right.“I think our society, there’s so many voices and opinions and that it’s tough for women, especially when they’re pregnant and being a mom. So they’re all just so supportive of, whatever I want to do is good,” Weaving added at the event at The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.Margot Robbie was there for Samara at the Ready or Not 2 screening in LA on March 16. Samara showed up in a green dress with a cut-out, rocking her baby bump. She’d already shared the big news in a December Instagram post, captioned, “Ready or Not: Here I Come,” alongside glam pregnancy shots.As for Weaving and Robbie, fans have been fascinated by their friendship for years. Both are Australian, both blonde, both have a striking similarity in their looks, and both rose through Hollywood at the same time — so fans have called them “doppelgängers.” After they appeared together in ‘Babylon’, everyone started calling them sisters separated at birth. Their careers are different, though. Robbie has become a global star with hits like Barbie, and Samara has built her reputation in horror and thrillers as a modern “scream queen.”
