Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley’s relationship timeline explored

The duo met while working on their Suite Française project in 2013. Tom Ackerley was an assistant director at the time, while Margot Robbie was in front of the camera. They began dating a year later and eventually tied the knot in 2016 in a private ceremony in Australia’s Byron Bay.

The couple largely kept their relationship away from the public eye. However, they did walk a red carpet together in 2017.

Robbie has been vocal about her opinions on family planning. In a 2019 Radio Times UK interview, she said:

“It [makes] me really angry. How dare some old guy dictate what I can and can’t do when it comes to motherhood or my own body? Unfortunately, it’s a conversation we’re still having. I got married and the first question in almost every interview is, ‘Babies? When are you having one?’ I’m so hangry 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.”

Tom Ackerley began his career in the entertainment industry as an extra in the Harry Potter films. Fans can expect to see him and Robbie work together as they produce My Old A*s which is hitting theaters on September 13. The couple is also overseeing the production of the Netflix series Sirens.
