The I, Tonya star paired the maternity look with an over-sized blazer and low-rise black pants, accessorising with a cream purse and gold earrings.

Ackerley, who wore a beige button-down shirt and olive trousers, lovingly assisted his pregnant wife on and off the vessel.

Robbie and British film producer Ackerley, both 34, tied the knot in December 2016 during an intimate ceremony in Byron Bay.

At the time, the couple had been dating for about two years after meeting in 2013 on the set of the war drama Suite Française.

The Wolf of Wall Street actress told Vogue in May 2016 that her relationship with “the best-looking guy in London” was unexpected.

“I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit,” she said. “And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him.”

Robbie continued, “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.’ 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 2014, the couple co-founded the production company LuckyChap Entertainment, which has created several movies, including Barbie, Birds of Prey, and the breakout role I, Tonya, all of which Robbie starred in.

In an interview with The Times last month, Ackerley revealed the pair spend “24 hours a day” together and have a “seamless” relationship, professionally and privately.

“We don’t have a toggle on, toggle off. It’s all become one thing,” he said.

While Ackerley works behind the screen, he has been Robbie’s biggest supporter in public, often joining her on red carpets, including Variety’s Power of Women in Los Angeles, where he read her acceptance speech after she lost her voice last year.
