Dominic West's wife Catherine FitzGerald has spoken out for the first time since her husband was photographed with actress Lily James in Rome saying the couple are “fine.”
FitzGerald, 49, said things were “Ok” between her and her 51-yer-old husband of a decade just weeks after he was pictured embracing James, 31, in Rome.
She told a reporter from Mail Online: “We're fine, thank you very much, yes we are. Things are OK between us.”
It comes after sources close to the couple reportedly said they are “working through their problems” and are confident their relationship will survive the scandal.

The Wests later said their marriage is “strong” and they are “very much still together”.
A close friend of Catherine's reportedly said: “Yes, Catherine was devastated and humiliated by the pictures of Dom with Lily. And it's well documented and clear what his views on infidelity are.
“It may surprise a lot of people but that doesn't mean their marriage is close to ending. They have had some difficult discussions but are still very much together.
“They've got a lovely family and she wants to do everything she can to keep it together.”
The couple were seen together on Tuesday running in the village where they live.
James and West will star together in the BBC’s adaptation of The Pursuit Of Love, which began filming in July. West plays the father of James’ character.
