Margot Robbie business name change

Overview

Actress and producer Margot Robbie has adopted her husband Tom Ackerley’s surname in official business filings. According to documents lodged with the United Kingdom’s Companies House, she is listed as ‘Margot Elise Ackerley’ in relation to LuckyChap UK Ventures Limited, a subsidiary of the production company she co-runs with Ackerley.

While the administrative change reflects her married name in corporate documentation, there are no indications that Robbie will cease using her professional moniker, Margot Robbie, for her acting career and film credits. Recent credits in the series ‘Sterling Point’ suggest she will continue using her birth name professionally.

The update to the filings, which were dated January 12, 2026, has sparked debate among some commentators and journalists. Critics have argued that the adoption of a husband’s surname in business records reflects a ‘lack of choice in gender politics.’

Robbie and Ackerley married in December 2016 in Byron Bay, Australia, after meeting on the set of the 2013 film ‘Suite Française’. The couple has since collaborated on several major projects through LuckyChap Entertainment, including ‘Barbie’, ‘I, Tonya’, and ‘Birds of Prey’.
