Speaking to the Sunday Times about her marriage to Robbie, Ackerley explained how they spend “24 hours a day together [together]”It’s seamless. We don’t have any toggles on or toggles off. It’s all become one thing,” he said.
Opening up about how she fell madly in love with her husband, the actress recalled in her 2016 interview with Vogue, “I was a very lonely girl. The idea of relationships made me feel nauseous. And then it dawned on me. We were friends for so long. I always loved him, but I thought, Oh, he’ll never love me. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him you like him. And then it happened, and I was like, ‘Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, in a way nothing has ever made sense before.’”
