Dominic West’s wife didn’t watch The Affair to not see him with another woman

Dominic West 's wife Catherine Fitzgerald still hasn't watched her husband's series The Affair as she didn't want to see him with another woman.

That was, of course, before she saw pictures of the actor, 50, kissing actress Lily James, 31, in Italy over the weekend.

The pair were seen having an intimate lunch in Rome, where they kissed and cuddled - despite Dominic being very much a married man.

Naturally, Catherine is said to be "shocked and devastated" over the steamy snaps, especially after a friend of hers claimed she and Dom were "very much together" with a "good marriage".

And it seems as though Catherine always tried to narrowly avoid seeing her man with anyone else, even if it was for a Hollywood blockbuster or a weekend away.

Speaking back in 2017, Dominic - who has been married to Catherine for over a decade - revealed that she made a conscious decision to avoid watching The Affair, as Dominic called her choice a "wise" one.

The hit series, which ran for five seasons from 2014 until 2019, saw Dominic's character Noah become embroiled in a passionate extramarital affair with Ruth Wilson's character Alison.

Speaking about his wife's decision to skip the steamy series, Dom told the Irish Daily Mail at the time: "My wife hasn't watched it [The Affair] either and I don't really want them to.

"My sisters were saying, 'Yes, we heard it's good [but] we heard you do certain things there and we decided not to watch it'."

He added: "Maybe they have watched a few [episodes] but my wife, wisely, hasn't. I mean, it's not something I'd like to watch her doing!"

The friend told MailOnline : "Catherine has seen the pictures and she's devastated. I came over to speak with her as soon as I knew about them.

"Catherine has been trying to speak with Dominic but he's not answering his phone. She's totally shocked because she didn't know anything was going on."

The source added: "They were very much together, so this is completely out of the blue.

"She thought they had a good marriage and now it's probably over. That's how she feels right now but the two of them need to speak but at the moment, she's lost for words."

Mirror Online has contacted reps of Dominic and Lily for comment.

Catherine and Dominic have been married since 2010 and share four children - daughter Dora, 13, son Senan, 12, son Francis, 11, and Christabel, seven.

Dominic's also dad to 22-year-old Martha, who he shares with ex-girlfriend Polly Astor.

Lily recently split from her Doctor Who star ex Matt Smith, and soon after was spotted out for an intimate picnic with Captain America star Chris Evans.
