Dominic married landscape designer Catherine in 2010 and they have four children together; Dora, 19, Senan, 17, Francis, 14, and Christabel, nine.
The couple now split their time between London and her family’s ancestral home, Glin Castle in County Limerick, Ireland, which has been in the FitzGerald family for more than 700 years.
Their marriage was thrust into the spotlight in 2020 when Dominic was photographed in romantic clinches with his co-star Lily James, 36, while on holiday in Rome after they filmed the BBC series The Pursuit of Love.
Catherine stood by him, and the couple famously appeared together outside their home holding a note that read: ‘Our marriage is strong and we’re very much still together. Thank you.’
Speaking about the Lily scandal in 2024, the actor admitted it was ‘deeply stressful’ for his wife and children, though the couple have since found humour in the situation, joking about going out for a ‘show of unity’ in London.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, Dominic admitted his ‘biggest sadness’ is splitting from the mother of his first child.
Speaking on the Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth podcast, Dominic opened up about the painful split from his former girlfriend Polly Astor, revealing he felt ‘too young’ at 28 to settle down after she gave birth to their daughter, Martha.

Asked if the end of his relationship with Polly was ‘one of the big sadnesses’ or ‘shames’ of his life, Dominic admitted: ‘I suppose so, yes. I suppose I wish my eldest daughter had had some of the advantages or some of the security that my others have had.’
The Eton-educated actor, who played Prince Charles in The Crown, explained the relationship came at the wrong time in his life, saying: ‘I think I was too young. I was 28.’
He quickly conceded that 28 was ‘not that young, but I was just leaving drama school and looking towards America and so it came at the wrong time, really.
‘It was very difficult, that ending.’
