How Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley’s relationship evolved
Robbie and Ackerley first met in 2013 when they worked together on the film “Suite Française”, where Ackerley was the third assistant director. They became close friends and decided to move in together in London in 2014 along with some other crew members from the film.
At this point, Robbie and Ackerley kept their budding romance a secret, with Robbie saying “We kept it a secret. Because we weren’t really taking it seriously. ‘Oh, whatever, we’re just mates, we’re just mates.’ And then… everyone found out.” Their friends were initially concerned that the relationship would “ruin our group”, but it ended up working out.
In a 2016 interview, Robbie revealed that she had actually been “always in love with him” during their friendship, but didn’t think he would love her back. However, the relationship eventually blossomed, with Robbie saying “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.'”
The couple went on to co-found the production company LuckyChap Entertainment in 2014, which has produced several of Robbie’s films. They quietly got married in a private ceremony in Australia in December 2016.
