Colin Farrell - Personal Life

Personal Life

Colin Farrell dated English actress (now singer) Amelia Warner from July to November 2001. There was speculation that they married. However, in December 2011, Warner revealed to the British Sun the marriage ceremony was never legal. "We had a ceremony on a beach in Tahiti that was by no means legal and we knew it wasn't... It was just a thing we did on holiday. We went shark feeding and then we did that. We booked them both on the activities desk at the hotel."

Colin and American-British writer Emma Forrest dated for over a year, an experience she touches upon in depth in her memoir Your Voice In My Head, which focuses on her relationship with her therapist who died unexpectedly. (The book is being made into a movie releasing in 2013 starring Emma Watson and Stanley Tucci.) According to Forrest, she and Farrell had planned to have a child together, before he ended the relationship. American writer and literary critic Maud Newton on reading the book wrote, "I was surprised, having only a vague negative impression of Farrell before reading Your Voice in My Head, at how charming, intelligent, and likeable he seems — before he calls things off and stops returning her texts, anyway."

By the end of 2003, he'd been linked to Britney Spears, model Josie Maran, Tom Sizemore's ex Maeve Quinlan, and Demi Moore.

Colin and US model Kim Bordenave became parents of James Padraig Farrell, born in 2003, in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles. In October 2007, Farrell revealed that his son has Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterised by intellectual and developmental delay.

Farrell and Ondine co-star Alicja Bachleda-Curuś, a Polish actress, have a son, Henry Tadeusz Farrell, born in October 2009. One year after the birth of their son, Alicja Bachleda Curus and Colin Farrell decided to end their relationship.

    Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.
    Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)
