Samara Weaving Finds Authentic Parenting Guidance from Inner Circle
Samara Weaving is not merely dispensing generic parenting tips; she is offering a genuine glimpse into the wisdom she has gathered from her closest companions, rather than relying on conventional guidebooks. As she prepares to welcome her first child, the actress is openly discussing the invaluable support she receives from her inner circle, which includes her longtime friend and lookalike, Margot Robbie. The core advice she has embraced is straightforward: avoid getting overwhelmed by external opinions and have confidence in your own instincts.
Pregnancy Announcement and Public Appearances
Samara Weaving, the 34-year-old actress married to Jimmy Warden since 2019 after meeting on the set of 'The Babysitter', is currently pregnant with her first child. She publicly announced her pregnancy in December 2025 by sharing photos of her baby bump on Instagram with the caption, "Ready or Not: Here I Come." Recently, she has been actively promoting her new film, 'Ready or Not 2: Here I Come', showcasing bold maternity fashion on red carpets, often accompanied by Margot Robbie.
Heartfelt Advice from Friends
Beyond the glitz of Hollywood events, Samara has been remarkably candid about her journey into motherhood. She is leaning heavily on her close friends, particularly Margot Robbie, her co-star from 'Babylon', for guidance. At the Clarins Night of Extra event in Los Angeles, she revealed to People magazine, "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 elaborated on how society bombards women, especially expectant mothers, with countless opinions, but her friends consistently encourage her to follow her own path.
"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 during the event at The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Margot Robbie was present to support Samara at the 'Ready or Not 2' screening in Los Angeles on March 16, where Samara confidently wore a green cut-out dress that highlighted her baby bump.
Enduring Friendship and Career Paths
The bond between Samara Weaving and Margot Robbie has captivated fans for years. Both are Australian, blonde, and share a striking physical resemblance, leading many to label them as "doppelgängers." Their friendship deepened after collaborating on 'Babylon', with some even joking they are sisters separated at birth. Despite their similar appearances, their careers have diverged: Robbie has achieved global stardom with blockbusters like 'Barbie', while Weaving has carved out a niche as a modern "scream queen" in horror and thriller films such as 'Ready or Not' and 'Scream VI'.
