Australian actress Margot Robbie has officially adopted her husband's last name in official documents nearly a decade after their wedding. British corporate filings show that the Oscar-nominated star has updated her name to Margot Elise Ackerley in company records.
Despite the update in administrative paperwork, the performer will continue using her birth name for all professional endeavors. Fans will still see Margot Robbie billed in her upcoming film and television credits as an actor and producer.
The name change reflects a quiet legal update rather than a shift in her public-facing career. The update emerged through public registry documents in the United Kingdom, where the couple maintains business ties.
The movie star and British filmmaker Tom Ackerley exchanged vows in a private ceremony in December 2016. The couple has consistently maintained a low profile regarding their private life since tying the knot.
Together, the pair established the successful production banner LuckyChap Entertainment, which has championed numerous acclaimed cinematic projects. Through their company, they have helped bring several high-profile films to the screen, most notably the cultural phenomenon Barbie.
The production venture has grown into a major force in Hollywood, focusing heavily on stories driven by women both in front of and behind the camera. Their collaborative efforts in the entertainment industry continue to yield both commercial success and critical acclaim.
Robbie rose to international prominence through standout performances in major motion pictures like The Wolf of Wall Street and I, Tonya. Her transition into production through LuckyChap has further cemented her influence across the global film industry.
While many public figures opt to alter their professional monikers following marriage, maintaining a maiden name for branding purposes is a common practice in Hollywood. By keeping her birth name for professional credits, the actress ensures continuity for her global fanbase while embracing her married name in her personal and corporate affairs.
