Robbie and Ackerley met in 2013 on the set of Suite Francaise (2015). She was one of the stars of the war romance film and he was an assistant director.

They began dating in 2014 and tied the knot in 2016 in a private ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia.

The outfit has produced several television series and movies such as I, Tonya (2017), Birds Of Prey (2020) and Barbie, with Robbie starring in the three films.
