Colin Farrell 'splits from girlfriend Kelly MacNamara' after five years together

Colin Farrell has reportedly split from his partner of five years.

The Irish actor and Kelly MacNamara are said to have gone their separate ways, with sources claiming it was his hectic work schedules that has pushed them apart.

It's said that the Hollywood star's schedule, including his recent filming for hit film The Banshees of Inisherin had taken its toll on the pair.

A source said: "Colin is the man of the moment in film thanks to his role in The Banshees Of Inisherin. He spent months working on that along with the last Batman blockbuster, where he played Penguin."

Speaking to The Sun, the source continued: "Colin’s schedule took its toll on his relationship with Kelly and they quietly called it quits."

They added that the pair didn't leave their relationship with any bad feeling but claims they were struggling to uphold a romantic relationship.

The split comes after five years after the duo first started dating. Kelly, who works as a PA for U2 guitarist The Edge, hasn't been seen with Colin for some time.

Colin had previously opened up about how their careers were causing difficulties with their pairing.

He said: "My girlfriend, she travels a lot as well with work so often times we’re two ships passing in the night. But we make sure to find a port that we can, you know, rendezvous at."

Despite being rather reserved in sharing information on past partnerships, Colin is known to have previously dated actresses Lindsay Lohan and Carmen Electra.

It is also reported that he had a fling with Britney Spears in 2003, with the singer admitting they shared a kiss.

Earlier this month, Colin and his young son Henry Tadeusz Farrell stepped out together on the champagne carpet at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre for the Oscars.

Wearing matching suits, the pair looked the picture of happiness and the glitzy bash.

Colin shares Henry with Mexican-born Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curuś, whom he met on the Ondine set before they split in 2010.

During the ceremony, Colin was up for the prestigious Best Actor award against the likes of Austin Butler.

However, it was actually Brendan Fraser who scooped the gong.
