For a decade, one of the most recognizable monikers in global cinema remained entirely untouched by personal milestones, standing firm as a symbol of Hollywood stardom even as life behind the scenes shifted. While moviegoers and red-carpet photographers grew accustomed to a certain iconic billing across blockbuster credits and producer credits alike, major life decisions sometimes take their own quiet, unhurried time to materialize away from the flashbulbs.

Ten years after walking down the aisle with her longtime partner, acclaimed actress and producer Margot Robbie has finally made a quiet, official transition, adopting her husband's surname.

Margot Robbie officially changes name 10 years after marriage

A decade after tying the knot with film producer Tom Ackerley, Margot Robbie has officially adopted her husband's surname. Following their December 2016 wedding, recent paperwork filed with Companies House regarding their production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, shows that the 36-year-old star has dropped her maiden name and is now officially registered as Margot Ackerley, though she is expected to maintain her famous surname for professional purposes.

Building on the recent corporate filings, the documentation reveals that the actress updated her legal status within LuckyChap Entertainment - the successful production banner the couple co-founded alongside industry partners. While the paperwork marks a significant personal milestone a full ten years after their intimate private ceremony in Byron Bay, the sudden name change allows her to preserve her globally recognized brand on the silver screen while quietly embracing a unified family name at home.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, the production company was established in 2014 by the couple alongside co-founders Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr. LuckyChap Entertainment has since built a formidable roster of acclaimed projects, backing major cinematic and television hits including Barbie, Saltburn, I, Tonya, Birds of Prey, and Maid.
