Margot Robbie’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ Comment Sparks Open Marriage Rumors With Tom Ackerley

Margot Robbie has sparked online chatter after a brief comment she made at a movie premiere caught fans by surprise.

The moment happened during the Los Angeles premiere of Wuthering Heights. While walking the red carpet, Robbie spoke to reporters about how she would personally choose to watch the film once it hits theaters. Her answer seemed casual at first, but one line quickly became the focus of attention.

She explained that the film’s release date, just before Valentine’s Day, was meant to fit different kinds of movie plans. If it was me, I’d want to go with all my girlfriends on a Friday night, I’d want to have cocktails, maybe dress up a little bit, Robbie said. She then added, Then I’d go with my husband… or whoever, on Valentine’s Day. So it felt like the perfect weekend to release it.

That small phrase, or whoever, immediately stood out to fans. Many people online began questioning whether the comment hinted at something more about her marriage to Tom Ackerley.

The interview clip was later posted on TikTok by The Hollywood Reporter. Viewers flooded the comments with reactions, jokes, and theories. Some fans even connected the moment to Robbie’s past roles, with one person pointing out how the Galentine’s-style comment echoed a well-known line from Barbie, tonight’s girls night.

Despite the speculation, Ackerley was present at the premiere alongside Robbie. The couple also worked together behind the scenes, as both produced the film through their company, LuckyChap Entertainment. Wuthering Heights stars Robbie opposite Jacob Elordi, and their on-screen chemistry has already become a major talking point.

Robbie and Ackerley have been together for years. They first met on a film set in 2013, launched LuckyChap soon after, and married privately in 2016. In late 2024, they welcomed their first child, a baby boy.

Robbie’s red carpet comment is not the only reason the film has been in the headlines. During the press tour, she has made several bold and playful remarks about working with Elordi. She joked that her friends were frothing at the mouth during a private screening and said they would have eaten him if he had appeared at her character’s fake bachelorette party. She also praised Elordi heavily, calling him the new Daniel Day-Lewis and saying they became codependent while filming.

The movie is directed by Emerald Fennell and is a new take on Emily Brontë’s classic novel. The story centers on a dark and obsessive romance. The cast also includes Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, and Ewan Mitchell, with music by Charli XCX.

The film’s look has also drawn attention, especially the bold outfits worn by Robbie’s character. Some scenes feature Victorian-inspired fashion mixed with modern edge, which Robbie herself joked about during interviews.

Outside of this project, Robbie remains busy as a producer. After the huge success of Barbie, she is working on new projects, including films based on The Sims and Monopoly. She is also expected to team up again with Bradley Cooper for a long-discussed Ocean’s Eleven prequel.

Wuthering Heights is set to release in theaters on February 13. Early reactions describe it as intense and provocative, similar in tone to Fennell’s earlier work, Saltburn.

The comment sounds more like casual red carpet humor than a serious statement about her personal life. These events are fast-paced, and stars often speak off the cuff. Still, it shows how quickly a few words can turn into big rumors online. What do you think? Was Margot Robbie just joking, or did the comment mean something more? Share your thoughts in the comments.
