Margot Robbie has been married to Tom Ackerley, an English film producer, since 2016, about three years since they first met on the set of the World War II romantic drama Suite Francaise.
Tom Ackerley got his start in the film industry as an extra in the first three installments of the Harry Potter movies before pursuing a career behind the scenes, from being a floor runner to set production assistant, and now a film producer. His producing credits include major hits like the 2020 Oscar-winning movie Promising Young Woman and the Golden Globe-nominated Netflix short series Maid.
He co-founded a production company with Robbie, LuckyChap Entertainment, which was behind several award-winning features, like Barbie and I, Tonya as well as Birds of Prey, Boston Strangler, and Saltburn. Besides producing, Ackerley has also built experience as an assistant director in films like Two Faces of January, Macbeth, and The Brothers Grimsby.
