Margot Robbie, best known for her unforgettable portrayals of characters like Harley Quinn and Tonya Harding, leads a surprisingly private life outside the spotlight. For over four years, she’s been quietly married to Tom Ackerley, a British assistant director and producer whose career also thrives in Hollywood.
Ackerley, with a resume that includes films such as The Brothers Grimsby and 2015’s Macbeth, joined forces with Robbie in 2014 to create LuckyChap Entertainment. This production company has delivered acclaimed works like I, Tonya, Dollface, and the anticipated Promising Young Woman.
Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley maintain a private life despite their thriving Hollywood careers with over four years of marriage under their belts
Their romance began on the set of Suite Française in 2014, and despite the challenges of a long-distance relationship, they adhered to the “three-week rule,” ensuring they never went too long without seeing each other. Robbie and Ackerley have kept their relationship largely out of the public eye, making their first joint red-carpet appearance almost a year after their private wedding in December 2016 in Byron Bay, Australia, which Robbie confirmed with a simple Instagram post.
Robbie has shared in rare interviews that marriage has been a source of immense happiness and has deepened her sense of responsibility, particularly in their professional collaborations. Together, they’ve worked on multiple projects, including I, Tonya, Birds of Prey, and the live-action Barbie. Ackerley has been a pillar of support for Robbie, especially during moments of pre-role anxiety, consistently helping her navigate through her doubts.
The couple continues to enjoy a strong partnership, whether on film sets, at industry events like CinemaCon, or during private vacations. Recently, they were seen vacationing in Greece, celebrating the massive success of Barbie. As of mid-2024, the couple is expecting their first child, marking a new chapter in their lives as they balance personal joys with their professional endeavors.
