Hollywood actress Margot Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley were seen packing up PDA at a hotel balcony in Naples, Italy. The couple shared a romantic moment. Ackerley wrapped his arms around Robbie, and planted a kiss on her head, as she drank from a glass water bottle, reports 'People' magazine. As per 'People', Robbie had her hair down in beachy waves, parted down the middle, while Ackerley also kept things casual and breezy in a simple button-down shirt and shorts.
