Margot Robbie‘s pregnancy announcement was a well-kept secret until July 7, when she was spotted proudly displaying her baby bump. This revelation surprised even her most dedicated fans, given her always packed schedule of projects.
While she only starred in two movies in 2023, they were among the year’s most significant. Both Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City” and “Barbie” demanded extensive filming schedules and prolonged promotional activities. In fact, Margot’s involvement with the Mattel picture extended into the early morning hours following the Oscars, marking the conclusion of her campaign for the production.
So, it’s fortunate that we’ve been able to enjoy her for so long, as she will likely shift her focus to her pregnancy now. On that note, many are curious: Who is her husband and now the father of her first child, Tom Ackerley?
Tom Ackerley’s age, height and nationality
Ackerley was born on June 13, 1990, in Surrey, England, making him 34 years old, the same age as his partner. According to his IMDb profile, he stands at 6′ 3¼″ (1.91 m). He is the youngest of three brothers with whom he grew up in Guildford.
He attended St George’s College, Weybridge, before moving on to Godalming College. As an adult, he chose to pursue a career in the film industry, not in front of the camera, but behind it, though he has also appeared as a well-known extra.
How did Tom Ackerley meet Margot Robbie?
Ackerley met Margot Robbie on the set of “Suite Française” in 2013. In this World War II drama, Robbie played Celine Joseph, a secondary role that garnered significant attention. Ackerley was working as the third assistant director under Saul Dibb.

They began dating a year later. In late 2016, they married in a private ceremony in Byron Bay, New South Wales. As of 2021, they reside in Venice, Los Angeles, where Robbie purchased a compound consisting of three separate, fortress-like structures for $5 million.
Tom Ackerley’s net worth
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Tom Ackerley’s fortune is estimated at $4 million. This figure is respectable, especially considering that professionals like Ackerley, who work behind the scenes as producers and directors, often reinvest their earnings into new projects and may not see the high earnings of actors and actresses.
However, Ackerley likely earns more than average due to his ownership of LuckyChap Entertainment, a production company he co-founded with Robbie in 2014. The business has been involved in funding many of Robbie’s works since her 2017 picture “I, Tonya,” and is anticipated to generate substantial revenue with its upcoming films “Monopoly” and “The Sims.”
