Margot Robbie officially has a new name, 10 years after tying the knot with her film producer husband, Tom Ackerley.

The 36-year-old appears to have finally taken her husband's last name following their December 2016 wedding.

According to new documents published by Companies House for the couple's production company Luckychap Entertainment, Margot has dropped her maiden name.

The actress is now listed as 'Margot Ackerley,' although it's likely she will continue to use 'Robbie' professionally.

Margot and Tom co-founded Luckychap with their friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerrback in 2014. Since then, the company has produced some award-winning films including Barbie, Saltburn and I, Tonya, for which Margot received an Oscar nomination for best actress in 2017.

Margot and Tom's relationship

The couple, who welcomed their first child, a son, in October 2024, met in 2013 while working on the film set of Suite Française, when Margot starred as Celine Joseph and Tom was the assistant director.

However, Margot admitted in 2016 that before Tom, she was adamantly against the idea of a relationship.

"I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit," she told Vogue. "And then this crept up on me.

"We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, 'Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird, Margot. Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him.'

"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.'"

When they began dating, the pair kept their relationship private, even from their friends, and when they found out, Margot admitted their reactions were "dramatic."

"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,'" Margot said in an interview with ELLE in 2018.

"It was dramatic," she continued. "Our house turned into The Jerry Springer Show for a moment there. But then the dust settled, and it was all good."

Margot and Tom reportedly got married at a private property in Byron Bay in December 2016, with the beautiful bride opting for a ruffled wedding dress for the low-key ceremony.

She confirmed the happy news by sharing a photo of herself kissing her new husband with her ring finger held up to the camera, showing off her teardrop diamond engagement ring next to her thin gold wedding band.

The pair continue to keep their home life very private, but Margot previously opened up about their marriage, telling Porter: "Being married is actually the most fun ever, life got way more fun somehow. I have a responsibility being someone’s wife, I want to be better."

Speaking about how they make time for one another during their busy work schedules, she added: "Even if we both have to fly to a country in-between where we both are for one night, we'll do it and then fly back to work the next day. And we speak all day, every day on the phone."
