The son of Rita and Eamon Farrell, Farrell was born on May 31, 1976, in Castleknock, Dublin. Both his father and uncle had professional athletic careers, so he was well-off enough to attend prestigious private schools. But school and sports weren’t the paths he planned to take.
The rough and tumble bad boy’s box office debut was the 2000 feature “Tigerland,” which was met with a lukewarm reception. Numerous attempts having failed, he persevered. His big break came when he was cast in Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster “Minority Report,” released in 2002.
Before his recent success, Colin Farrell was one of Ireland’s most popular actors. The tabloids used to love to report that he was courting other famous people.
However, the actor who portrays Batman now prefers a more sedate lifestyle, and consequently, very little is known about his romantic history. Who has Colin Farrell been dating, and how are things with them at the moment? Hmm, let’s find out.

Who Has Dated Colin Farrell?
Many of the people who have come and gone from Farrell’s life are household names. Let’s have a peek at his history of dates with prominent people:
Amelia Warner
At one point in 2001, Farrell dated actress Amelia Warner. The pair secretly wed in Tahiti.
“It was just something we did while on vacation,” Warner told The Sun. We did that after feeding sharks. At the hotel’s activity desk, we registered for both.
Perhaps it’s for the best that they weren’t legally wed, as their relationship lasted all of a year at most before it ended. Warner just married Fifty Shades of Grey co-star Jamie Dornan.
In 2002, model and fellow Playboy Nicole Narain Farrell had a one-night stand with Farrell. Attending a function at the Playboy Mansion is where they initially crossed paths. According to reports, feelings were mutual almost immediately. Narain remarked, “He’s a free spirit, exactly like myself.”
Despite their best efforts, their romance was doomed to fail, and they amicably parted ways. However, Narain was unable to release and sell the audio because of a lawsuit filed by Farrell in 2005.
Kim Bordenave
Farrell’s relationship with model Kim Bordenave began the same year. They had James Paddy Farrell a year after they started dating. The relationship ended soon after that. James was revealed to have Angelman syndrome, a very unusual genetic condition.
The condition impairs communication and the neurological system, and it causes a general slowing of growth. Farrell and Bordenave sought guardianship of their teenage son in 2021.
According to the petition, James is unable to look after his own health and well-being since he cannot communicate and has difficulty with fine motor skills.
James is unable to express a preference for a caretaker, but his parents are confident that they would be his top pick.
Ms. Alicja Bachleda-Curu
Farrell and Alicja Bachleda-Curu met in 2008 on the set of the romance film Ondine, in which he played an Irish fisherman who falls in love with a mystical selkie (Bachleda-Curu). According to the Polish actress’s People interview, the two were “extremely professional and focused on their roles and duties” when they first met on set.
Britney Spears
Farrell and Spears never dated, but their brief encounters are legendary in Hollywood. It was in 2003 when they saw the premiere of “The Recruit” together.
Farrell said that he and the pop star had met the previous day and were just “friends having a laugh,” according to Entertainment Tonight.
Elizabeth Taylor
Although they were decades apart in age, it appears that Farrell and Elizabeth Taylor shared a passionate moment. Taylor passed away in 2011, at age 79, although she and Farrell grew close in her final years.
Long phone calls late at night brought them closer together. Even though Farrell made it apparent that he and Taylor never “consumed” their relationship, he nevertheless referred to their time together as “the last kind of romantic connection I had.”

Has Colin Farrell Found A New Love Yet?
After some time had passed, Farrell came to the realisation that it would be best for his personal life if he began to keep a low profile and avoid public attention. On the other hand, in 2017, it came to the attention of the general public that he was involved in a love connection with Kelly McNamara, who was a member of the management team for the band U2.
One of their sources claimed that they had been dating for two years at this point and that they were genuinely happy to be with one other. It is not known if the two have continued their relationship with one another or not.
