Looks like the wife of Cillian Murphy, with whom he lived in marriage for more than 20 years, his muse and the love of his life

Irishman Cillian Murphy stole a lot of women's hearts after the release of the gangster saga Peaky Blinders. In 2024, the actor was awarded an Oscar for his role in the thriller Oppenheimer. Before climbing the stage, Murphy and his wife kissed each other tenderly and exchanged passionate glances. The actor rarely talks about his family and shows it to the public. But after this scene, it became clear why Murphy is so bright on set.

In 1996, the Irishman began as an actor in the criminal theater production Disco Pigs. This work was not the most successful and gathered few spectators, but the troupe decided to try their luck and went to tour the world. Young Yvonne went with them. Young people spent a year and a half traveling to different cities, falling in love with each other.

How did the Irish woman fascinate the blue-eyed dreamer? Yvonne is a talented artist, Master of Fine Arts. A woman creates various installations using video, sound, sculpture, graphics and performance.



GettyImages Experts call her work "the artist's sublimated desire to express himself through the tension between the frank and the hidden." She describes her work as “working with time, place and community.” The star spouse often actively helps a woman in this activity.

Yvonne is the personal constant of Killian Murphy. She does not allow her husband to go into a career and forget about the family. The actor recalls a time when he worked on Peaky Blinders away from home. And only his wife saved him from star disease and was able to keep in contact with his family.

In addition to the main creative path, Yvonne tried herself as an actress. She has appeared in several short films, including This Is Between Us and The Procession.



The couple married only after 10 years of relationship in 2004. A year later, they had a son, Malachi, and two years later, Aran. When his wife was pregnant with her first child, Killian starred in the film The Wind That Swings Heather. The film was filmed near his mother and father’s home, and his wife was always nearby. Those days were filled with happiness and light.

9 years ago, at the family council, Killian and Yvonne decided to move to their historical homeland – Ireland. Britain was left behind so that the children would grow up to be Irish. The father proudly stated that his guys can easily fit into any environment. Perhaps the family decided to move for more privacy. Every quiet harbor has its price.



GettyImages Murphy's youngest son, 16-year-old Aran, followed in the footsteps of his hypocrite father. Now, along with Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams, he is starring in the film Clara and the Sun directed by Taiki Waititi. The young actor has already appeared in the film Lola and the play Hamnet.

Far from the paparazzi If it were not for creativity, Killian and Yvonne would gladly become hermits. The actor does not keep social networks, and his wife appears in public only during the presentation of his creative projects. Murphy does not tolerate excessive contacts with the paparazzi, so he rarely goes outside.

But the family gets the attention of the father and husband in full. Killian likes to communicate with children and cook with his wife. In support of Yvonne sensitive husband even switched to vegetarianism.

I appreciate you always being there.”

What's next? Murphy plans to play James Bond in the next film of the famous film franchise. The filmmakers decided to return public interest in the adventures of 007 and raise the rating of the next film. The super-popularity of the actor should play into their hands.
