The relationship between Margot Robbie and her husband, British film producer Tom Ackerley, began far from the glamorous red carpets of Hollywood. The two first crossed paths in 2013 while working on the set of the World War II drama Suite Française. During the film's production, Ackerley was employed behind the scenes as a third assistant director, while Robbie was continuing to build her extensive portfolio as a film and television actor. Rather than an immediate Hollywood romance, their connection started as a solid friendship. This platonic bond was so strong that before they ever began dating, Robbie and Ackerley navigated the challenges of shared living. They resided together in a crowded three-bedroom house located in Clapham, London, sharing the space with five other roommates, making it a bustling household of seven people.
As their friendship eventually evolved into a romantic relationship, the couple managed to keep their personal milestones remarkably private. In December 2016, Robbie and Ackerley officially became husband and wife. Deliberately avoiding the traditional celebrity route, they never made a prior public announcement of their engagement, keeping the news a closely guarded secret until the wedding itself. The nuptials took place in a highly private ceremony situated in the coastal town of Byron Bay, Australia, allowing the Australian actress to celebrate her marriage in her home country away from the intense media spotlight.
What sets Robbie and Ackerley's marital life apart is their seamless integration of personal and professional ambitions. In 2014, just a year after their initial meeting on set, the couple co-founded the production company LuckyChap Entertainment. They established this venture alongside their close friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr. This business partnership has proven to be incredibly fruitful, transforming the husband-and-wife team into influential figures behind the camera. LuckyChap Entertainment has been the driving force behind several critically acclaimed and commercially successful cinematic projects. Their joint production credits include the award-winning figure skating biopic I, Tonya, the provocative thriller Promising Young Woman, and the global cultural phenomenon Barbie.
As of 2026, the 35-year-old, 168 cm tall actress and her producer husband are navigating the next major chapter of their lives: parenthood. In July 2024, multiple media outlets confirmed that Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley were officially expecting their first child together. True to their long-standing preference for privacy regarding their family life, the couple has kept specific details under wraps. While the pregnancy is a documented fact, the exact due date of their first child and the baby's gender remain unknown to the public, ensuring that their growing family retains a level of personal seclusion despite their massive global profile.
