Tom Ackerley with his wife, Margot Robbie
The lovers married in December 2016 in Coorabella, New South Wales. Although the media kept spreading the rumors about Margot’s affairs with other men, the actress never cheated on Tom.

Taking photos and videos was not allowed, and the details remained secret. The only picture was posted on Instagram by Margot herself: the wedding ring on her finger. Ackerley did not give in to journalists’ pressure and remained silent about the event.
The couple has not been engaged in any scandals. They often go out together, and fans can see many pictures from their daily life taken by paparazzi. Robbie and Tom are, undoubtedly, faithful to each other; the actress frequently praises her husband in her interviews.
