Twitter jumped in on the fake Margot Robbie dating claims bandwagon

Darius Slayton would not let Isaiah Hodgins date Margot Robbie

Amidst the growing trend of fake memes linking up Margot Robbie with multiple players, New York Giants star Darius Slayton hopped in on the trend. He jokingly responded to the viral news and wrote that he would "chop both his (Isaiah's) legs off" before he would "let him (Isaiah) get to date" Robbie before him (Slayton).

Neither Margot Robbie nor Isaiah Hodgins have responded to the fake buzz about them dating.


Margot Robbie married her husband Tom Ackerley in 2016

Margot crossed paths with her husband, Tom Ackerley in 2013 on the set of Suite Française. While he was the third assistant director of the film, Robbie starred on camera alongside Michelle Williams.

In 2016, the Suicide Squad star revealed that she wasn't looking for a relationship at the time. She said that the idea of relationships made her "want to vomit."

She said that the relationship soon crept up on him. Robbie added that they had been friends for quite some time and had always been in love with Tom but she believed that he would never love her back. So the star said that she told herself,

"Don't make it weird, Margot. Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him. 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."

In 2016, the duo tied the knot in a private ceremony in Australia's Gold Coast without previously announcing their engagement. Soon she confirmed the news of her marriage on her since-deleted Instagram profile.

Aside from being husband and wife, Robbie and Ackerley are also business partners and run the production company LuckyChap Entertainment together.
