Women around the globe were swooning when White Lotus star Theo James was pictured in a romantic photoshoot with model Victoria Ceretti along the Italian Riviera for a new Dolce and Gabbana advert last week. But it emerged that James is happily married to Dublin actress Ruth Kearney, after first meeting in acting school in Bristol in their student days.

Oscar-winning actresses Charlize Theron and Alicia Vikander were also seduced by Celtic charm while Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge has had two long-term relationships with Irish men. Vikander married Michael Fassbender after meeting as star-crossed lovers on the set of the film The Light Between Oceans while Theron dated Dubliner Stuart Townsend in the 2000s.
The English creator of Fleabag was pictured in London in recent weeks with her partner, Irish-English playwright, Martin McDonagh, and her co-star, Andrew Scott, during Taylor Swift’s stint in London. They were reported to have had dinner.
