Who is Romy Marion Byrne’s mother?

Ellen Barkin is the mother of Romy Byrne. Barkin is an American actress and producer. Her breakthrough role was in the 1982 film Diner, and in the following years, she had starring roles in films such as Tender Mercies (1983), and Eddie and the Cruisers (1983). From 2016 until 2019, Barkin played the leading role of Janine “Smurf” Cody on the TNT drama series Animal Kingdom.

She is a former model and actress

Following in her mother and father’s footstep, Romy is also an actress. According to her IMDB profile, she is known for Friends from College (2017), A Little White Lie (2023), and Flower (2017). The young lady definitely got her inspiration and talent from her parents who are already big names in the industry.

Aside from having parents who are already big in the industry, the actress also had to put in lots of work to see herself through. Gabriel Byrne and Ellen Barkin’s daughter who is also a former Bard College literature student has been quietly training with an acting coach before landing her various roles.

The former model who stands at a height of 5 feet 7 inches describes her dream modeling gig: “Shooting for a chair catalog,” she deadpans. “Something that pays mad money but where nobody would see me!” Not that she is shy but she is just one of that anti-celebrity who appreciates time away from it all. “I’m so independent,” says the part-time poet, who looks up to wordsmiths like LeRoi Jones. “Everyone comes up with their best stuff when they’re alone.”

Her father attended his mother’s wedding

Even though her parents are divorced they are still very close. The couple started their relationship in 1987. Her father relocated to Manhattan to be with her mother. A year later, Romy Marion Byrne’s parents got married in 1988. A year after she was born the couple separated amicably in 1993, and divorced in 1999. The reason behind their separation and divorce was not made known to the public.

Even after their marriage fell apart, the couple still remained close. Byrne even attended her ex-wife, Barkin’s 2000 wedding to multibillionaire and businessman Ronald Perelman. Speaking of her kids and ex-husband Barkin said “They’re great, they’re extraordinary and Gabriel and I really did it together,” she said. (Byrne never remarried.) “We have every kid’s birthday together and both of our birthdays with the kids,” Romy Marion Byrne’s mother went on.

“Any time I cook a holiday meal, Gabriel comes here, and Christmas is usually his holiday, so then I go there. I know I’ve said this before, but I don’t think a marriage has to last forever to be successful, and I think we had a good marriage and we managed to keep what was good about it alive for 25 years.

Ellen Barkin and her daughter Romy Marion Byrne have been spotted in public several times. The two-time Golden Globe nominee, Ellen Barkin went shopping with her daughter in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California, United States in September 2015.
