Actor Dominic West today told how his marriage to wife Catherine Fitzgerald is “strong” as he kissed her outside their home – just days after he was seen cosying up to Lily James.
On Sunday Dominic, who starred in US crime series The Wire, was seen passionately embracing actress Lily, 31, during a trip to Rome.
But today the Brit actor, 50 appeared to signal he and Catherine, who is a landscape designer, were still an item after they were spotted in their loving embrace.
The actor said outside their Wiltshire cottage: “I just want to say our marriage is strong and we are very much still together”, The Sun reported.
Despite this Dominic was not wearing his wedding ring and Catherine’s ring finger was out of display in her pocket.

In the photos, published by MailOnline, Dominic is seen leaning into Lily’s neck and stroking her hair as they dined outside at a restaurant.
He was also seen with his arms around the Mamma Mia! star as they rode a scooter and donned face masks.
In one snap he appeared to grab Lily’s bum, who he is currently starring with in an adaptation of Nancy Mitford’s novel The Pursuit Of Love.
Catherine, 49, held a tissue in her hand as well as the handwritten note, which was read to the press by Dom, before the pair kissed in a staged show of affection.

The pair, who married in Ireland in 2010, smooched for a few seconds.
It is claimed West flew home to his £1.8million country cottage last night after he was snapped with Lily.
Dominic and Catherine share four children – daughter Dora, 13, son Senan, 12, son Francis, 11, and Christabel, seven.

A friend of Catherine’s claimed she rushed to the couple’s home to console the actor’s wife.
Last Thursday, it was announced that Lily and her now ex-boyfriend Matt had split for good.
“But unfortunately it just isn’t working and they have mutually decided to just close this chapter of their lives.”, a source said.
The former couple have not spoken publicly about their split.
Lily is best known for her roles in Downton Abbey and the live-action Cinderella remake, while Dominic has starred in the likes of Chicago, 300 and the BBC miniseries Les Miserables.
Dominic said earlier this month he “jumped for joy” when he learned Donald Trump had the coronavirus.
He added: “I think the phrase is ‘what goes around comes around.’ I just hope it doesn’t interfere with him being elected out of office.” At the first presidential debate in Ohio on Tuesday Mr Trump mocked Democrat rival Joe Biden, 77, for wearing a face mask.
Daily Star Online has contacted representatives for Lily, Dominic and Catherine for comment.
