Gabriel Byrne weds girlfriend Hannah Beth King in Cork

GABRIEL Byrne has married his long term girlfriend Hannah Beth King.

The 64-year-old Irish actor wed his film producer partner in a ceremony at Ballymaloe Country House Hotel in Co Cork on Monday evening.

The actor’s friend, politician Mannix Flynn, was first to publicly share the news and to congratulate the couple.

“I want to congratulate both of them and wish many years of great togetherness and happiness, that’s fantastic news,” Mr Flynn told Liveline on RTE Radio one.

“It gives you a confidence in the institution of marriage and the institution of commitment to each other. That’s a very strong statement to each other and they did it in a great place. It’s a fantastic location for anybody to tie the knot so to speak.”

Byrne, who recently starred in the series Quirke, was previously married to the actress Ellen Barkin, with whom he has two children.
