How did Margot and Tom meet?
Margot and Tom met in 2013 on the set of the film Suite de Francais (2014). They tied the knot in December 2016 in an intimate ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia. Nearly 8 years later, Margot and Tom have welcomed their first child. They have always been private about their relationship.
Speaking to Vogue in June 2016, Robbie talked about their relationship. “I was the ultimate single girl. The thought of relationships made me feel like vomiting. And then it dawned on me. We were friends for so long. I always loved him, but I thought, ‘Oh, he’ll never love me.’ Don’t make it awkward, Margot. Don’t be a fool and tell her you like her”, she said
“And then this happened, and I thought, of course we’re together. It makes more sense than anything has ever made sense before,” he added.

Fans will see Margot opposite Jacob Elordi in Emerald Fennell’s upcoming adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel, Wuthering Heights. Produced by MRC and LuckyChap, the film is set to begin pre-production in 2025 with plans for a UK shoot.
