Murphy and McGuinness both are quite private people as Murphy is inactive on social media whereas his wife has maintained her Twitter account private. McGuinness also rarely makes a red carpet appearance with her husband in his movie premieres.
The couple resides in a Dublin suburb raising their two sons, Malachy and Aran. They are in primary school at present. They migrated from London to Ireland in 2015 so that their sons could be around their grandparents and also they wanted their sons to be Irish.
Talking to The Guardian, Murphy:
“We wanted them to be Irish, I suppose. It’s amazing how quickly their accents have adapted. Even within a year of moving back, they are fading into this rakish west Brit kind of thing. Which I think, hopefully, will get them lots of girls when they’re 15.”
Well, it seems like Murphy is blessed with a beautiful family. We can say he is happily married to his wife McGuinness as there is no rumor of their divorce to date.
