Dermot Mulroney: Journey
Since 2008, the My Best Friend’s Wedding star and cellist Prima Apollinaire have been wed.
We are enjoying watching Dermot Mulroney return to our television screens in the 13th season as Dom Pascal, the new chief of the Chicago Fire.
The 60-year-old is well-known in the acting industry and is most remembered for costarring with Julia Roberts in the romantic comedy My Best Friend’s Wedding in 1997. Since then, he has starred in numerous popular TV series and movies, including New Girl, Anyone But You, and Zodiac. However, how much do you know about his private life? Learn more about his family life here, including his Oscar-winning ex-wife and his well-known wife, Prima Apollinaire.
Since 2008, Dermot Mulroney has been happily married to Italian musician Prima Apollinaire, formerly Tharita Cutulle. The professional cellist and singer-songwriter reportedly changed her name in 2015, although hasn’t publicly explained why.
Prima incredibly supports Dermot Mulroney career and has watched nearly all of his movies. She told Entertainment Weekly earlier this year: “I watch all his movies. To be honest with you, I think the only movie I did not see of his is Scream VI, not because I don’t care for it; it’s just that I don’t care for the genre. But I always think his movies are excellent. I really like them.”
Dermot Mulroney and Prima are parents to two daughters: Mabel Ray, born in 2008, and Sally Mulroney, who arrived shortly after in 2009.
Dermot and Prime have adorable dogs, including Lucy Loo, Luna, Posie, Polar, and Sweetie. Back in May, Dermot Mulroney introduced the adorable Chihuahua to his Instagram followers. “Introducing: Polar,” began the star, adding the hashtag: “#themanofthehouse.”
“Posie’s litter-mate and life partner,” he continued. “Weight reduction plan, down 2.5 lbs! tough for a #chubbychihuahua hoping for single digits soon.”
Long before his relationship with Prima, Dermot married Hollywood actress Catherine Keener. The 65-year-old is known for her roles in Being John Malkovich and Capote, both of which earned her Oscar nominations. She also starred in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Into the Wild, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Get Out.
After getting married in 1990, Dermot and Catherine parted ways 15 years later, finally filing for divorce in 2009.
In 1999, the couple welcomed a son, Clyde, into the world during their marriage.
In 2016, comparing himself to his “buttoned-up” Dirty Grandpa character, David Kelly, Dermot characterized himself as a “pretty easy-going guy.” “I’ve travelled and lived in California for the past thirty years. Yes, I’m not as strait and narrow as a dad because I’m a really laid-back guy,” he said to The Hollywood News.
Dermot said he isn’t interested in his children pursuing careers that involve acting like him. “I try to keep arts in front of them, whether it’s music or even museum trips,” he stated. “I don’t hold them to any standards; everyone finds it difficult enough to finish their schoolwork at night. Let’s see after they finish elementary school. I wouldn’t do it because, as we’ve all seen, child acting is unhealthy.
