Hollywood star Margot Robbie has quietly adopted her husband Tom Ackerley’s surname nearly 10 years after their marriage. According to recent UK corporate filings, the actress is now listed as Margot Elise Ackerley in records connected to LuckyChap Entertainment, the production company she co-founded with Ackerley and their longtime collaborators.
The change has attracted attention because Robbie had continued to be officially listed under her maiden name for years after getting married. The Companies House filing submitted in September 2026 records a change to her director details dating back to January 12, 2026. Earlier documents had identified her as Margot Elise Robbie.
She Will Still Be Known As Margot Robbie Professionally
While the corporate records now carry the Ackerley surname, there is no indication that the actress plans to abandon the professional name that audiences know worldwide.
Robbie continues to be credited as Margot Robbie in her film and television work. Recent reporting also notes that her professional credits have retained her familiar surname, suggesting that the corporate update does not necessarily mean a public rebranding of her Hollywood identity.
The filing itself does not explain why the change was made or whether Robbie has adopted Ackerley as her legal surname in every aspect of her personal life. Therefore, the most accurate description is that her surname has been updated in the relevant business records.
LuckyChap Entertainment Is Their Major Professional Connection
The name change is particularly notable because LuckyChap Entertainment is one of the most important professional ventures shared by Robbie and Ackerley.
The company was founded in 2014 by Robbie, Ackerley, Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr. Robbie later became a director of the company, and LuckyChap has gone on to produce a number of high-profile projects.
Its film credits include I, Tonya, Birds of Prey, Promising Young Woman, Saltburn and Barbie. The company has played a major role in Robbie’s career beyond acting, allowing her to work as a producer on several projects.
How Margot Robbie And Tom Ackerley Met
Robbie and Ackerley’s relationship began years before their marriage. The pair first met while working on the 2014 World War II drama Suite Française. Robbie appeared in the film, while Ackerley worked as an assistant director.
Their friendship eventually developed into a romantic relationship. The couple reportedly lived with several friends before their relationship became more serious, and their professional partnership later grew alongside their personal relationship.
In 2014, they also turned their shared interest in filmmaking into a business by launching LuckyChap Entertainment with McNamara and Kerr.
The Couple Married In 2016
Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley tied the knot in December 2016 in a private wedding ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia. Robbie later appeared to confirm the marriage publicly through a social media photograph showing the couple together and her wedding ring.
Despite being one of Hollywood’s most recognisable actresses, Robbie and Ackerley have generally kept their personal lives away from constant public attention.
Their professional collaboration, however, has remained visible through LuckyChap Entertainment and the projects associated with the company.
Why The Name Change Is Getting Attention
The timing of the change has naturally sparked curiosity because it comes almost 10 years after the couple married. However, the available corporate filing does not provide a specific explanation for why Robbie’s name was updated now.
It also does not establish that she will begin using “Ackerley” as her professional surname. For audiences, the actress remains Margot Robbie, the name under which she has built her Hollywood career and earned worldwide recognition.
For now, the clearest change is within the company records: Margot Elise Robbie is now listed as Margot Elise Ackerley in LuckyChap Entertainment’s corporate documentation.
