This news came out a little while ago, but we missed it in the shuffle. Colin Farrell was seen wearing what looks like it could be an ornate wedding ring on his left hand. The 32 year old Irish actor was photographed at the airport in LA smoking a cigarette and talking on the phone. When he spotted photographers he put his left hand in his jacket pocket, awkwardly holding his phone on his left ear and keeping the cigarette in his mouth.

The gossip press is speculating that Colin may have secretly married his young sweetheart, student Muireann McDonnell, 22. Colin met Muireann at a party during the 2006 holidays in Dalkey outside of Dublin. She was working at a gourmet food store nearby. The two were photographed on a romantic holiday in Italy in May, 2007.

Colin was previously married to English actress Amelia Warner for five months in 2001. He has a special needs son, James, four and a half, with his ex girlfriend, model Kim Bordenave.

Farrell recently lost 20-30 pounds to play a guilt-striken journalist in war torn Bosnia in Triage, a film adaptation of a 1998 novel by Scott Anderson. These latest photos look as if he’s gained a few essential pounds back. His character isn’t married, according to the synopsis of the book I read on Wikipedia (spoilers in that link obviously), so it’s not probable that he’s wearing the ring for the film.

Congratulations to Farrell if he’s married. If he’s not, then many of his fans will breathe a sigh of relief.
