Margot Robbie Officially Changes Her Surname in New Business Filings
Hollywood star Margot Robbie has officially adopted her husband Tom Ackerley's surname for business purposes, sparking a wave of mixed reactions and debates across social media.
A decade after marrying British film producer Tom Ackerley, Hollywood star Margot Robbie has officially dropped her maiden name for business purposes, adopting her husband's surname. According to official documents recently published by Companies House, the British registrar of companies, the actress now appears under the name Margot Elise Ackerley.
Social media users were quick to react to the change with a mixture of shock and criticism. While some fans were taken aback, others expressed fierce disapproval online, arguing that a global superstar shouldn't adopt traditional naming conventions. Critics called the move outdated and questioned why someone as iconic as Robbie would make the change, with one viral post reading: "How can you change your last name, my god! You are Margot Robbie, who the hell is Margot Ackerley?"
A Decade of Partnership and Business Success
Robbie and Ackerley have been together for roughly 13 years, having first met in 2013 on the set of the film Suite Française, where Robbie acted and Ackerley worked as an assistant director. The chemistry between them and a small group of crew members led them to share a flat in London before they officially began dating a year later.
The couple tied the knot in December 2016 during a private ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia, successfully blending a high-profile romance with an extensive business partnership. In 2024, they welcomed their first child together, expanding their family.
"You are Margot Robbie, who the hell is Margot Ackerley?" reacted dismayed fans on social media following the official document update.
The Empire Behind LuckyChap Entertainment
Beyond their marriage, the duo co-founded the successful production company LuckyChap Entertainment alongside Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara. Their banner has backed critically acclaimed and commercially massive projects, including I, Tonya, Promising Young Woman, Saltburn, and the global blockbuster Barbie.
Barbie grossed over 1.4 billion dollars worldwide, cementing Robbie's status as both an elite actress and a powerhouse producer. Reports indicate that Robbie earned approximately 50 million dollars for her starring role and production duties on the film.
