“Our marriage is strong and we’re very much still together. Thank you,” a handwritten note, which was signed by the husband and wife, read as it was taped up outside the couple’s home. Dominic, 50, and Catherine, 49, even shared a kiss outside their Cotswolds estate in England for the cameras. 

Their marriage came into question after Dominic was seen not wearing his wedding ring while out with the Mama Mia! actress, 31, in Rome. The costars were seen kissing as they sat outside at a restaurant in Rome and cuddled up while riding a scooter together as they enjoyed a day out. 

Catherine and Dominic first met while at Trinity College in Dublin. Although they briefly split after college, they rekindled their romance and got engaged in 2007. They wed in 2010, and they share three children — Dora, 14, Senan, 12, and Francis, 11. Catherine also has a 22-year-old daughter named Martha from a previous relationship with British musician Edward Lambton, whom she was married to from 1995 to 2002.

While Dominic has been acting for decades, Catherine works as a landscape designer and gardener. However, she also comes from a very notable family. She is an Anglo-Irish aristocrat. Her father is Desmond FitzGerald, 29th Knight of Glin. That being said, the socialite’s net worth reportedly sits at an estimated $12 million, according to Honey.
