Romance is alive and well for Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley, who were recently spotted sharing a cozy, intimate moment on a hotel balcony in Naples, Italy, on July 18. The actress and her film producer husband, both 35, embraced the peaceful setting as they enjoyed some quality time together.
In the sweet photos, Ackerley is seen wrapping his arms around Robbie and planting a kiss on her head while she sips from a glass water bottle. Robbie, dressed in the stylish Elephant Tapestry Mini Dress by Kristin Mallison (worth $675), appeared effortlessly chic.
The dress, made from a vintage French tapestry, has been a repeat look for the actress, who also wore it on another occasion. Her hair flowed in beachy waves, adding to her relaxed and breezy look, while Ackerley kept it casual in a simple button-down shirt and shorts.
A Post-Baby Moment of Peace
This Italian balcony sighting comes after the couple welcomed their first child, a boy, in November. Since becoming parents, Robbie and Ackerley have been spotted together a few times, including an appearance on the beach during a break from Robbie’s work commitments.
In April, the couple enjoyed some time on the Gold Coast in Australia with friends, marking one of their first public outings since the arrival of their son.
Busy But Enjoying Motherhood
Despite the joys of new parenthood, Robbie has remained busy with her career. She is currently filming the Emerald Fennell-directed adaptation of Wuthering Heights in the U.K. alongside Jacob Elordi, set to hit theaters in 2026.
In March, Robbie was spotted in an extravagant bridal look for the film, complete with a cinched corset and long tulle train.
A source close to Robbie told PEOPLE that she has several projects lined up for next year, but for now, she is focused on enjoying motherhood. “She wants to rest now and spend time with the baby,” the source shared.
Parenthood After a Long Wait
The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in Australia in 2016, had been planning for their family for quite some time. “They waited a long time to get pregnant, so it was almost unbelievable when the baby actually arrived,” a separate source told PEOPLE.
The source added that both Robbie and Ackerley are “settling into being parents”, expressing how meaningful it was for them to start a family.
Their Love Story
Robbie and Ackerley first met in 2013 on the set of Suite Française, where Ackerley was an assistant director and Robbie starred in front of the camera. Although Robbie wasn’t initially seeking a relationship, she later realized she had fallen for Ackerley.
In a 2016 interview with Vogue, she shared, “I was always in love with him, but I thought, Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him that you like him.”
She continued, “And then it happened, and I was like, of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.”
With their family growing and their love stronger than ever, Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley continue to enjoy a beautiful chapter of their lives together. Whether it’s relaxing on a balcony in Italy or navigating parenthood, their bond remains as strong as ever, and fans can’t wait to see what the future holds for the couple.
