Margot Robbie has officially adopted her husband's surname, Ackerley, in corporate filings for LuckyChap Entertainment, the production company she co-founded with Tom Ackerley. Page Six reported that the Australian actress is now listed as Margot Elise Ackerley in Companies House records, nearly a decade after marrying the British film producer in 2016. It remains unclear whether she will use the name professionally as an actor.
Robbie and Ackerley met while working on the film Suite Française and later married in a private ceremony in Australia. The couple co-founded LuckyChap with two other former housemates in 2014 and have since produced major hits including I, Tonya, Promising Young Woman, Saltburn, and Barbie, which grossed over $1.4 billion worldwide.
How the Power Couple Built LuckyChap
Robbie and Ackerley founded LuckyChap Entertainment in 2014 after meeting on the set of Suite Française. They started the production company alongside two other former London housemates, Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara. Who reported that the couple married privately in 2016 and continued living in their shared London house before moving to their own west London home in 2017.
The couple later relocated to Los Angeles and expanded their production portfolio significantly. LuckyChap has produced acclaimed films across multiple genres, from the Oscar-winning I, Tonya to the psychological thriller Saltburn and the gothic adaptation Wuthering Heights. The company's success culminated in Barbie, which became a cultural phenomenon.
Robbie's Unlikely Path to Marriage and Motherhood
Before meeting Ackerley, Robbie described herself as "the ultimate single gal" and said the idea of relationships "made me want to vomit." She realized her close friendship with Ackerley had evolved into something deeper over time. The couple welcomed their first child, a son, in 2024, marking a significant milestone in their decade-long partnership.
Robbie has maintained a low public profile in recent years. Daily Mail noted that she has not posted on social media since June 2021 and does not have an active Instagram account. This privacy-focused approach has kept speculation about her personal life to a minimum.
Barbie Success Brings Robbie a Massive Payday
Robbie's work on Barbie proved to be her most lucrative project to date. She reportedly earned approximately $50 million for starring in and producing the film, which surpassed all box office expectations. The film's $1.4 billion global gross made it one of the highest-grossing movies in cinema history.
The name change to Ackerley in corporate documents comes as Robbie's production company continues to thrive. News24 reported that fans have been divided over the decision, with some questioning whether the surname shift signals a change in how Robbie will present herself professionally. Industry insiders remain uncertain whether the Ackerley name will appear on future film credits.
