We all know the internet can be a wild, untamed jungle of bizarre rumors and hilarious memes. But sometimes, something comes along that blends the two into one gloriously weird tale. Case in point: that unforgettable week when Margot Robbie, Hollywood's "It Girl," was "dating" everyone from Ace Mitch of the Toronto Blue Jays to F. Scott Fitzgerald. As reported by Mediaite, Twitter had a field day, crediting "credible" sources like TMZ.
Love in the Time of Memes: Tom Ackerley's Wife Isn't Single, Folks
Let's set the record straight: Margot Robbie has been living in wedded bliss with Tom Ackerley since 2016. Yet the Twittersphere thought it was utterly hilarious to pair her with some less conventional paramours, like Merriam-Webster's 1864 Unabridged First Edition or the Portland Pickles Mascot Dillon T. Pickle. "Per sources, Roman Emperor Claudius Gothicus, destroyer of the Goths, is dating A-List actress Margot Robbie," tweeted Daily Roman Updates. No one could resist getting in on this trend.

"The tweet went bonkers," said Gate14 Podcast, who started this whole ruckus. "'I'd chop both his legs off before I let him get to date Margot before me,' tweeted a passionate Darius Slayton, epitomizing the mood of many envious fans. Sure, Robbie is no stranger to spotlight and gossip, but when her 'dating life' includes a literal dictionary or historical figures like F. Scott Fitzgerald, you know we've reached peak internet absurdity.
Bottom line? Margot Robbie is still very much attached to her husband, Tom Ackerley. But if she ever decides to switch things up, she certainly has a smorgasbord of hilarious options to choose from!
After her recent box office dud Babylon, Robbie is poised to star as the title character in the upcoming Barbie movie. And who knows? Maybe the Twitterverse will cast her next beau as Ken!
