Poldark star Aidan Turner ‘secretly marries girlfriend Caitlin Fitzgerald in Italy’ after three years together

Aidan Turner has reportedly married his longtime girlfriend Caitlin Fitzgerald in a secret wedding ceremony. 

The Poldark actor has been dating the American actress for three years and they recently tied the knot in Italy, according to reports. 

It should come as no surprise that the low-key couple kept their nuptials private but Aidan has reportedly been spotted wearing a band on his ring finger. 

A source told The Sun: ‘The couple are both madly in love and couldn’t wait to get hitched when their schedules allowed.

‘They’re both very private and have kept the ceremony very much under wraps, but he has been seen taking lockdown walks with his wedding ring on show.’ 

They added: ‘Aidan hasn’t been in a rush to get wed and has very much been waiting for “The One” to come along — and anyone who sees them knows they’re the perfect match.’ 

The wedding is said to have taken place once Aidan wrapped up filming on his upcoming drama Leonardo. 

Aidan, 37, and Caitlin, 38, met while working on the fantasy movie The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot in 2018. 

It wasn’t until the following year that Aidan confirmed he was in a new relationship, saying in an interview: ‘I do have a girlfriend, yeah.’ 

The couple made a rare red carpet appearance that year when they attended the premiere of the movie on which they met. 

Caitlin has remained silent about their romance but did open up about her past sexual experiences in an essay for Glamour and not all of them were enjoyable.

The actress said: ‘I mean, I have had some really bad sex in my life. Mostly because the cultural message I received as I grew up, both explicitly and implicitly, was that sex was a pleasure and prerogative reserved for men. 

‘I crafted my bedroom behavior around what I had seen women do on television: lots of excessive moaning and hair tossing but very little personal satisfaction.’ 

Aidan has previously dated actresses Leonora Crichlow and Sarah Greene, as well as artist Nettie Wakefield, while Caitlin was linked to her Masters of Sex co-star Michael Sheen. 

Metro.co.uk has contacted Aidan’s reps for comment.
