Happy Christmas from Glin Castle: Dominic West and his wife Catherine share socially-distanced family photo from Ireland two months after he was caught kissing Lily James in Rome
Dominic West and his wife Catherine FitzGerald are currently holed up at her family home, Glin Castle, in Ireland.
And the pair shared a socially-distanced family snap from the grounds of the castle on Instagram on Wednesday, as they posed with their four children.
Catherine, 49, who tends to the castle gardens, simply wrote: ‘Happy Christmas from Glin Castle.’

She and Dominic, 51, have out on a united front, two months after he was caught kissing fellow actor, Lily James in Rome.
However, they did not stand next to one another in the snap and were separated by their offspring.
The couple are parents to Dora, 13, Senan, 10, nine-year-old Francis and Christabel, five.
Dominic is also dad to daughter Martha, from his relationship with Polly Astor.
The snap comes after Dominic got himself into a spot of bother when another photograph showed him flouting Covid restrictions.
The actor enjoyed a meal near his Wiltshire home at the weekend, apparently after a shooting party.

Theatre producer Nick Allott posted a picture on Instagram with the hashtag #tier2picnic.
A smiling West, in flat cap and Barbour-style jacket, and Allott are among seven around the table, with a place-setting for an eighth diner and cutlery for three courses.
The rule of six applies to outdoor meetings in Tier Two areas such as Wiltshire.
Friends of the group last night cited British Association for Shooting and Conservation guidance that states ‘group shooting activities are not subject to gathering limits’ including the rule of six.
However, the guidance says shoots must conform to the relevant tier limits and ‘the exemption of outdoor physical activity does not apply to associated social activity’.
The couple’s ten-year marriage has been hanging in the balance since October, when the actor was seen apparently kissing Miss James, 31 – his co-star in an upcoming BBC adaptation of Nancy Mitford’s novel The Pursuit Of Love – on a trip to Rome in which they shared a scooter.

Irish aristocrat Miss FitzGerald initially put on a show of unity with her Eton-educated husband.
They kissed for the cameras outside their Chippenham home and wrote a note that read: ‘Our marriage is strong and we’re very much still together.’
However, it was later reported the marriage is ‘as good as over’.
