Exploring Margot Robbie's relationship with her father

Margot Robbie's uncle, Wayne Robbie, clarified that Margot and her father, Doug Robbie, have a good relationship. He mentioned that Doug is proud of Margot and supports her, even attending the premiere of her movie Babylon in Sydney. Margot grew up with her mom and siblings, and while they're proud of her success, they prefer to keep personal matters private unless Margot wants to share. Despite Doug being retired, he stays in touch with Margot and all his kids, showing their strong family ties.

In an interview, Wayne Robbie said, “He certainly does have a relationship with her. He is very proud of her,” 

“We just have a bit of a policy about speaking to the media—that is something that is really up to her if she wants to say anything publicly,” he continued.

“Doug is retired now; he has been for a long time. But he is in contact with Margot and all of the kids,” Wayne said.

Wayne mentioned that his brother (Margot's father)  made a trip to Sydney to support Margot at the premiere of her latest movie, Babylon.
