Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi have stirred speculation about their relationship while promoting their upcoming film, Wuthering Heights, which is set to release next month. The film stars Robbie as Catherine and Elordi as Heathcliff, an adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel.
On-Set Chemistry and Intense Working Relationship
While discussing their collaboration, Robbie described forming a quick, deeply connected bond with Elordi during filming. She noted his nearly constant presence on set, which led to a “codependent” dynamic between them. Director Emerald Fennell clarified that Elordi was not directed to watch Robbie continually and even had to be asked to leave her vicinity at times.
Robbie admitted that she felt “unnerved” and “lost” when Elordi was not paying attention to her during scenes, reflecting the intensity of their interaction. Elordi, in turn, called their connection a “mutual obsession” and praised Robbie as an “elite actor.”
Controversy Over Casting Choice and Fan Reactions
Robbie also addressed concerns regarding Elordi’s casting as Heathcliff, a role traditionally portrayed with darker features. She urged viewers to hold off judgment until watching the film, emphasizing the importance of experiencing the full story before forming opinions. Despite some fans’ disapproval, Robbie defended the decision, backing Elordi’s performance.
Relationship Rumors Amid Public Curiosity
The actors’ candid and intense remarks about one another have fueled rumors about their personal relationship, prompting questions about whether they are romantically involved. However, Margot Robbie, 35, remains married to British assistant director Tom Ackerley, with whom she welcomed a son in October 2024.
Jacob Elordi, 28, is reportedly single following his split from influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli late last year. He has previously been linked to Kaia Gerber, Zendaya, and Joey King, adding to the speculation surrounding his current status.
