Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley's Relationship Started Professionally
Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley's relationship started platonic before eventually becoming romantic.
Robbie and Ackerley first met in 2013 on the set of the World War II drama Suite Française, where he served as an assistant director and she was one of the film's stars.
Their relationship began as a close friendship and didn't turn romantic until around the time they co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment in 2014, which has produced several films and TV shows, including I, Tonya and Birds of Prey.
"We were friends for so long," the actress told Vogue in 2016. "I was always in love with him, but I thought, ‘Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him that you like him.’ And then it happened, and I was like, ‘Of course, we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.’"
Margot Robbie Said Being Married Is 'Actually the Most Fun Ever'
Margot Robbie said that she and her husband, Tom Ackerley, make it a priority to spend time together.
The couple got married in a private ceremony in 2016.
Though they are known to keep their relationship private, Robbie has said being married is "actually the most fun ever," noting they both make time for each other a priority.
"Even if we both have to fly to a country in between where we both are for one night, we’ll do it and then fly back to work the next day,” she told Porter in 2018. "And we speak all day, every day on the phone."
