Famous Irish Men and the Lucky Ladies Who’ve Won Their Hearts: Jamie Dornan, Pierce Brosnan and More

Don't kiss them, even though they’re Irish — stars like Pierce Brosnan , Jamie Dornan and Cillian Murphy all hail from Ireland, and they're all happily married.

Some didn't even have to leave the Emerald Isle to find love. Bono got his start by playing gigs for his high school in Dublin, which is also where he met his now-wife, Ali Hewson .

“We were teenagers. We went to the same school , high school,” the U2 frontman said during the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in November 2016. “It just so happens it was this afternoon [in 1976] I walked her to her bus – isn’t that mad?”

While not all of Ireland’s hunky exports have found love in their native country, many Irish stars have enjoyed lasting relationships. Brosnan celebrated 20 years of marriage with Keely Shaye Smith in August 2021.

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