Margot Robbie has officially appeared under her husband Tom Ackerley’s surname in British corporate records, nearly a decade after the couple tied the knot. The Barbie star is now listed as Margot Elise Ackerley in public records connected to LuckyChap Entertainment, the production company she co-founded with Ackerley, Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr.
The name update was reflected in a Companies House filing submitted on September 22, 2026. According to the filing, the director information was changed on January 12, 2026, replacing her previous listing as Margot Elise Robbie.
The filing does not state why the change was made. It also does not indicate that Robbie intends to use Ackerley as her professional surname.
For her acting and producing career, she continues to be publicly credited as Margot Robbie.
Margot Robbie’s name updated at LuckyChap Entertainment
Robbie has been listed as a director of LuckyChap Entertainment since May 2015. The production company was established in 2014 and was built by Robbie and Ackerley alongside McNamara and Kerr.
LuckyChap has since been involved in a number of high-profile films, including I, Tonya, Birds of Prey, Promising Young Woman, Saltburn and Barbie.
The company has been particularly important to Robbie’s career beyond acting, allowing her to take on producing responsibilities and develop projects through her own production banner.
The latest Companies House update simply changes the name attached to Robbie’s directorship. There is no indication in the filing that she has adopted Ackerley professionally or that her screen credits will change.
Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley’s relationship
Robbie and Ackerley married in December 2016 in a private ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia. Around the time of their wedding, Robbie appeared to confirm the marriage on Instagram with a photograph showing the couple kissing while she displayed her wedding ring.
The pair first crossed paths while working on the 2014 World War II drama Suite Française. Robbie starred in the film, while Ackerley worked as an assistant director.
Their relationship reportedly began as a friendship, with the two eventually becoming roommates before their romance developed.
Despite their long relationship, Robbie and Ackerley have generally kept their private life away from intense public attention.
Will Margot Robbie use Ackerley professionally?
There is currently no indication that Robbie is changing the name she uses in Hollywood.
Her films, producing credits and public-facing professional work continue to identify her as Margot Robbie. The Companies House filing only establishes that her name in the relevant corporate records has been updated to Margot Elise Ackerley.
Whether she uses her married surname in other legal or personal contexts has not been established by the filing.
