Famous Irish men and the lucky ladies who won their hearts

Don’t kiss them even if they’re Irish – like stars Pierce Brosnan, Jamie Dornan And Cillian Murphy they are all from Ireland and all happily married.

Some didn’t even have to leave the Emerald Isle to find love. Bono started his career performing for his high school in Dublin, where he also met his current wife. Ali Hewson.

“We were teenagers. We went to the same school, high school,” the U2 frontman said at the Glamor Women of the Year Awards in November 2016. “Coincidentally, it was this afternoon [in 1976] I took her to her bus – isn’t that strange?’

While not all Irish exports have found love in their native country, many Irish stars have had long-term relationships. Brosnan celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary with Keely Shaye Smith in August 2021.

“Happy birthday my sweet Keely, my love grows with you forever…☘️❤️,” Brosnan wrote via Instagram at the time.
