The Love Story Begins
Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley‘s love story began on the set of the 2014 film Suite Française. Tom, a British assistant director, and Margot, the lead actress, found themselves drawn to each other’s company during the filming process. The sparks between them soon turned into a blossoming romance, and they started dating shortly after.
Tom’s Background
Born on January 1, 1990, in Surrey, England, he grew up in Guildford, England, and attended Godalming College with a passion for cinema and storytelling. His love for the art of filmmaking would eventually lead him to a successful career as a producer and assistant director. He started as a floor runner and assistant director, working on films such as Rush and The Two Faces of January.
A Private Romance
Unlike many celebrity couples, Margot and Tom chose to keep their relationship largely private in the initial stages. They avoided the spotlight and media attention, focusing on building a strong foundation for their bond. It wasn’t until they were spotted together at a few public events that news of their relationship became known to the wider world.
The Secret Wedding
In a surprising move, Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley decided to tie the knot in a secret wedding ceremony in December 2016. The wedding took place in Byron Bay, Australia, where Margot spent much of her childhood. Close friends and family members attended the intimate affair, which emphasized their desire to keep their special day private and away from the media frenzy.
Professional Collaboration
In addition to being life partners, Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley have also collaborated professionally. In 2014, they co-founded the production company “LuckyChap Entertainment” along with a few close friends. The company has been involved in producing critically acclaimed films and television shows, showcasing their combined passion for storytelling and filmmaking. Most recently, they produced Barbie together!
Shutting Down Baby Aspirations
As their marriage has matured over the years, fans and media outlets alike began speculating about the couple’s plans for starting a family. “I got married and the first question in almost every interview is ‘Babies? When are you having one?’ I’m so angry that there’s this social contract. You’re married, now have a baby. Don’t presume. I’ll do what I’m going to do,” Margot said in 2019 regarding whether they’ll have kids.
Baby No 1 On the Way
It was revealed on July 7, 2024 that Margot is pregnant with their first child!
Prior to news of the couple expecting their first, photos came out of Margot and Tom on vacation in Lake Como, Italy, where the actress could be seen baring her stomach with her growing baby bump on full display.
