After the scandal was revealed to the public, both stars were heavily criticized, with Lily avoiding questions in several interviews and Dominic returning home to his wife, putting on a united front.

She also took a moment to describe the moment she first met Dominic at Trinity College Dublin, sharing that she “had a tiny room on campus, and Dominic had a garret flat on the top floor of a building on Mountjoy Square.”

“It was falling down but you could get out onto the roof and sit on the hot slates, it was a lovely summer that year, and we would look over Dublin, reading poetry to one another with the mountains in the distance,” Catherine stated.
