Olivia O’Flanagan is an Irish woman who gained some measure of mainstream popularity as Aidan Gillen’s ex-wife. As of this writing, (June 2022), the mother of two is probably in her late 40s or early 50s. She got married to the famous Irish actor in 2001 and they separated in 2005 but finalized their divorce in 2014.

5. Olivia O’Flanagan Was Born and Raised in Ireland, How Old Is She?
Showbizers is yet to confirm the age of Aidan Gillen’s ex-wife. There are no publicly available records about that but it wouldn’t be wrong to conclude that she is currently in her late 40s or early 50s. Credible platforms reported that Olivia O’Flanagan and Aidan Gillen met when they were teenagers. This means they are agemates or something close to that.
As you would easily find, Gillen is currently 57 years old as he was born in Dublin, Ireland, on the 24th of April 1968. O’Flanagan was also born in Ireland but we can’t be precise about her exact place of birth at the moment. Olivia has lived her life away from the attention her ex-husband’s fame draws.
4. What Does Aidan Gillen’s Ex-wife Do for a Living?
Several reports have suggested that Olivia O’Flanagan, like her ex-husband, is also an actor. But then, we have been unable to substantiate this claim in any meaningful manner. The only work she has been associated with is Shrooms, a 2007 comedy horror film written by Pearse Elliott and directed by Paddy Breathnach.
O’Flanagan is one of the people listed under “thanks” in the film’s credits. Now, people recognized as such in any production are not necessarily performers. They are often people that contributed to the production of a project without receiving any financial reward for it. It could be someone who allowed the cast and crew to use his/her house or office space.
The specifics of what Olivia O’Flanagan does for a living at the moment are not known to the public. Be that as it may, we learned she is a businesswoman running a company known as HappyDays Food Truck.

Credible sources have it that Olivia O’Flanagan and Aidan Gillen met during their teenage years. However, it is believed in some quarters that the two met in 1997 during the early days of Gillen’s career. Whatever be the case, it is no secret that they got married in 2001, precisely on the 7th of July.
Four years into the marriage (in 2005), they had had enough of it and parted ways. Nonetheless, they reportedly never got to make it official until 2014. The reason behind the end of their union is not known to the public but it seems they are at peace with it. Although their marriage is over, Olivia and Aidan are on good terms. Several times, the former has publicly supported the latter’s career.

She is currently 25 years old. As far as we know, neither Berry nor Joe is pursuing a career in the motion pictures industry. Like their mother, they are quite evasive of the attention Aidan Gillen’s career draws to his personal life.
