It wasn’t until they were spotted together at a few public events that news of their relationship became known to the wider world.
The Secret Wedding
In a surprising move, Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley decided to tie the knot in a secret wedding ceremony in December 2016.

Shutting Down Baby Aspirations
As their marriage has matured over the years, fans and media outlets alike began speculating about the couple’s plans for starting a family. “I got married and the first question in almost every interview is ‘Babies? When are you having one?’ I’m so angry that there’s this social contract. You’re married, now have a baby. Don’t presume. I’ll do what I’m going to do,” Margot said in 2019 regarding whether they’ll have kids.
