About Tom Ackerley

Tom Ackerley met Margot Robbie on a film set before either of them had real power in the industry. He was a third assistant director on the 2013 WWII drama Suite Française; she had a supporting role. They became friends first — famously sharing a crowded London flat with a group of roommates — before quietly becoming a couple in 2014.

That same year, Ackerley co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment with Robbie, Josey McNamara, and Sophia Kerr. The production company became the couple's real joint project: I, Tonya earned Robbie her first Oscar nomination, Promising Young Woman won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and Barbie became a global box-office phenomenon with Ackerley among its producers. LuckyChap has also backed projects like Saltburn and My Old Ass, and its Emerald Fennell-directed Wuthering Heights — starring Robbie opposite Jacob Elordi — premiered in early 2026 with the couple walking the carpet together.

Ackerley and Robbie married in December 2016 in a private ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia, near where Robbie grew up on the Gold Coast. Both have been consistent about keeping the relationship offstage; Robbie has said working together at LuckyChap is where their partnership shows up publicly, not in interviews about their home life.

They became parents in the fall of 2024 when Robbie gave birth to their first child, a son whose name they haven't shared publicly. Robbie has described motherhood as a joy while continuing a busy slate — A Big Bold Beautiful Journey with Colin Farrell arrived in 2025, and Wuthering Heights followed in February 2026. Ten years into the marriage, the two remain both a couple and co-owners of one of Hollywood's most influential production companies.
