Is the marriage over? Dominic West is said to have confessed his feelings for co-star Lily James to his wife.
The married Dominic West (51, "The Affair") no longer seems to be keeping his feelings for co-star Lily James (31, "Cinderella") a secret. As the British "The Sun" claims to have heard from family friends, the actor poured pure wine for his wife Catherine FitzGerald (49). The Irish landscape designer, with whom West has been married since 2010 and has four children, told people close to her that "Dominic has admitted to having feelings for Lily".
In mid-October, pictures of West and James appeared in Rome, showing them very familiar with each other. Kisses were also exchanged. "At first it seemed like the whole thing was just a one-time thing, but Catherine has since said it had become obvious that it was more than that," the newspaper insider quoted as saying. The situation was "humiliating" for the 49-year-old and she asked West to "clean up the mess that has arisen". However, there does not seem to be a happy ending for the couple: "The marriage is as good as over," Catherine FitzGerald is said to have told her friends.
West recently affirmed: "Our marriage is strong"
Dominic West and Lily James met on the set of the upcoming BBC drama "The Pursuit Of Love". So far, none of them have spoken publicly about the love rumors. Instead, West had recently sent pictures to the press in which he can be seen closely entwined with his wife. He wrote: "Our marriage is strong and we are definitely still together." Co-star James split from "The Crown" star Matt Smith, 38, earlier this year after a five-year on / off relationship.
