A Love Story in Hollywood
Robbie and Ackerley’s romance began over a decade ago on the set of the 2014 film “Suite Française,” where Ackerley worked as an assistant director, and Robbie was part of the cast. Despite Robbie’s initial belief that her feelings were unrequited, the two eventually realized they were meant to be together. They tied the knot in a private ceremony in Robbie’s native Australia in December 2016.
Balancing Careers and Personal Life
Despite their busy schedules in Hollywood, the couple manages to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. Robbie often praises Ackerley for his down-to-earth attitude towards fame. “He likes being behind the camera. He’s not fazed by any of this stuff,” she shared at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards. The pair not only share a personal bond but also a professional one, co-founding the production company LuckyChap Entertainment with friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr.
LuckyChap Entertainment, has produced several successful films, including “I, Tonya,” “Birds of Prey,” and “Barbie,” all of which starred Robbie. The company has allowed them to blend their personal and professional lives seamlessly, spending nearly every moment together.
Building a Family Together
Growing a family has always been a goal for Robbie. In a 2018 interview with Porter magazine, she expressed her desire for a big family gathering in the future. “If I’m looking into my future 30 years from now, I want to see a big Christmas dinner with tons of kids there,” she said. Although she wasn’t ready at that moment, it’s clear that the dream is now becoming a reality.
