Who Is Margot Robbie's Husband, Tom Ackerley? An Extra In 'Harry Potter', Married Her Secretly, More

Margot Robbie has been making headlines once again with the release of the trailer for her upcoming project, Wuthering Heights. Based on the classic novel by Emily Brontë, fans are constantly discussing her latest role, and some are also curious about her off-screen life, particularly her husband, Tom Ackerley. The couple has been together for more than a decade. However, they manage to keep much about their bond private while building a successful life. Amid all the chatter, here's everything you must know about Tom Ackerley. 

Who is Margot Robbie's husband, Tom Ackerley? 

Tom Ackerley was born and raised in the U.K. He began his journey in the entertainment industry as an extra in the first three Harry Potter films. Later, Tom went to study at Godalming College and gradually transitioned to working behind the camera. He restarted his journey in showbiz by taking on roles as a floor runner, production assistant, and eventually assistant director. According to the British Film Institute, he has gradually built a career supporting some of the most acclaimed film projects in recent years. Recalling how Tom worked as an extra, Margot told on The Graham Norton Show: 

"My husband is in the Harry Potter movies. I know, I was like, 'Had you told me sooner, we would've been married very quickly. But he was an extra when he was a little kid. He was one of the Slytherin extras when Draco pushed some kids out of the way to see Buckbeak in the third book. He pushes my husband out of the way."

Later, in 2024, Tom Ackerley co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment alongside Margot Robbie, his childhood friend Sophia Kerr, and industry colleague Josey McNamara. The company has become a powerhouse for female-led films. Together, they have produced films like I, Tonya, Promising Young Woman, Birds of Prey, and Barbie, all projects starring Robbie herself. Tom has described that the company's goal is to amplify emerging talent and create space for female-focused stories.

Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley's love story is one from the sets 

Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley first met in 2013 on the set of the World War II drama, Suite Francaise, where the actress was in front of the camera and Tom worked as a third assistant director. She later revealed in Vogue that she was not looking for a relationship at the time, describing herself as 'the ultimate single gal.' But their friendship grew slowly, and she admitted that she was always in love with him yet felt he wouldn't reciprocate her feelings. Eventually, the pair began dating in 2014, a relationship that has lasted over ten years.

Margot and Tom tied the knot in a private ceremony on Australia's Gold Coast in December 2016. The couple kept the wedding largely under wraps, announcing it only after the fact with a playful Instagram post from Margot showing a kiss and a ring. Over the years, they balanced their personal life and business seamlessly, often describing their relationship as "24 hours a day together," blending work and family effortlessly. The couple welcomed their first child, a boy, in late 2024. Sharing how Tom helps her deal with self-doubt, Margot told the Daily Mirror:

"Every time I do a movie, I turn to my husband and I'm like, 'I don't think I can do this.' He says something like, 'You do this every time. You'll be fine."

As Margot Robbie continues to shine on-screen with fantastic roles, fans can't help but celebrate the man who stands behind and supports her through thick and thin.
