Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley's love story: From ‘Suite Française’ to a happily ever after

Everyone’s talking about ‘Wuthering Heights’ this Valentine’s Day weekend. The buzz is all about Emerald Fennell’s daring twist on Emily Brontë’s classic. Sure, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi have crazy good chemistry as Cathy and Heathcliff, and people can’t wait to watch the story play out. But Margot Robbie’s real-life romance with her husband, Tom Ackerley, is just as captivating — maybe even more so because it’s the real deal.

As fans swoon over love on and off the screen, Robbie and Ackerley’s story stands out. They’ve got that rare mix of deep friendship, big dreams, and steady growth: from late nights on film sets to building a family together. Here’s a look at how it all started, how they built something real, and where they are now as partners, parents, and creative teammates.

It all began back in 2013, on the set of ‘Suite Française’. Robbie was already making waves in Hollywood after ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’, while Ackerley worked behind the scenes as a production assistant and assistant director. They met through work, just another day on set, but it turned into something much bigger.

First, they were friends. They’d hang out with the same crowd in London, just getting to know each other without any rush. By 2014, things shifted, and they started dating. However, they kept it quiet. No red carpet drama, no flashing cameras. Just two people letting something real grow, far from the spotlight.

After a few years together, Margot and Tom tied the knot in December 2016. The wedding was small and simple, tucked away in Byron Bay, Australia, with only their closest friends and family. There was no Hollywood flash, but just close-knit people sharing the joy. Later, Robbie posted a photo online, showing off her new wedding ring, a huge grin, and a kiss with Tom. Talking about her marriage to Tom, she even joked on ‘The Graham Norton Show’ that if she’d known he was an extra in the 'Harry Potter' movies (turns out he played a Slytherin student), she would’ve married him even sooner. However, after the wedding, instead of some over-the-top honeymoon, they jumped right back into work, teaming up on ‘I, Tonya’.

Robbie and Ackerley’s partnership isn’t limited to just romance. In 2014, even before they got married, Robbie and Ackerley co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment with friends Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara. LuckyChap has now become a powerhouse in Hollywood, backing bold, female-led stories. They’ve produced everything from ‘I, Tonya’ to ‘Promising Young Woman’, ‘Saltburn’, and more. They, in fact, are the force behind ‘Barbie’ as well. These projects mix Robbie’s fearless acting with their knack for picking stories that matter.

In late 2024, eight years after their marriage and almost a decade after they started dating, Margot and Tom welcomed their first child, a baby boy. The couple has been private about the details — no big announcements, just Margot showing up at a few events with her baby bump, a few warm words, and the occasional glimpse into their new life as parents. After years of nonstop red carpets and travel, Robbie confessed at multiple interviews that being a mom has been “the best.” And even though they’re both busy and pretty famous, Robbie and Ackerley keep their family life grounded. They split their time between Los Angeles and Australia, balancing work, family, and the odd beach day with their little one.

As of now, in 2026, Robbie is promoting ‘Wuthering Heights’, where she plays one of literature’s most complicated heroines. Ackerley’s right there beside her, both as her partner and as the film’s executive producer. At the Los Angeles premiere, they showed up together, supporting each other.
