Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi Sparks Romance Rumors, Leaving Husband on Edge

Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are at the center of a media whirlwind as they prepare for the release of their gothic romance, Wuthering Heights. While fans are buzzing over their electric energy in the trailers, new reports suggest that the intense focus on their connection might be hitting close to home for Robbie’s husband, Tom Ackerley.

According to an insider who spoke with RadarOnline, the constant chatter regarding their undeniable chemistry has become a point of conversation behind closed doors.

The source explained that while Ackerley is a seasoned producer who understands how the industry works, the level of personal speculation can still be a lot to handle. The noise can still be uncomfortable when it spirals into personal speculation, the source claimed, suggesting that even a secure marriage can feel the weight of global rumors.

These rumors have only grown as the actors share stories from their time filming on the moody English moors.

In a recent interview with Vogue Australia, Robbie revealed that Elordi fully leaned into his role as the brooding Heathcliff even when the cameras weren’t rolling. She shared that he once filled her room with roses, a gesture she described as thoughtful and something that truly made her day. For his part, Elordi hasn’t been shy about his admiration for his co-star, publicly calling her black corset press look breathtaking.

Adding to the intrigue was a comment Robbie made during the film’s Los Angeles premiere. When asked why the movie was coming out in February, she noted that she would typically spend the holiday with friends and cocktails before heading out with her husband or whoever on Valentine’s Day. While likely a joke about the holiday’s flexible plans, some fans took the or whoever remark as another playful layer to the ongoing drama.

Away from the tabloid headlines, both actors have been remarkably productive with their own separate careers. Margot Robbie has been balancing life as a new mother and a powerhouse producer, with her company LuckyChap recently announcing several major projects, including a live-action Monopoly movie.

She is also rumored to be in talks for a high-profile role in a new Pirates of the Caribbean project, though she remains focused on the launch of her and Emerald Fennell’s latest collaboration.

Jacob Elordi is currently enjoying one of the busiest periods of his life. After receiving massive praise for his role as the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, which won him a Critics’ Choice Award earlier this year, he is moving into the world of science fiction. He is set to star in Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars later in 2026, where he will play a survivor in a post-apocalyptic world alongside Margaret Qualley.

As for their current project, Wuthering Heights is directed by Emerald Fennell and features a supporting cast that includes Hong Chau and Ewan Mitchell. The film is a modern, sexual, and visceral take on Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel, focusing on the obsessive and often destructive love between Catherine and Heathcliff. With the movie set to hit theaters on February 13, the chemistry between the two leads will soon be on full display for audiences worldwide.

Do you think the intense chemistry between co-stars is usually just great acting for the cameras, or does it often point to a real-life bond that goes beyond the script? Share your thoughts in the comments.
