James McAvoy has publicly backed his ex-wife Anne-Marie Duff's tribute to her mother, who is living with Alzheimer's disease. The 46-year-old Scottish actor, known for roles in X-Men and Shameless, expressed his support on social media, praising Duff's heartfelt post about her mother's battle with the condition.
McAvoy and Duff were married for 11 years and share a 15-year-old son, Brendan. Despite their separation, the couple have maintained a respectful relationship, with McAvoy previously stating that they remain 'respectful of each other' even after their split.
The actor is now married to Lisa Liberati, a personal assistant he met on the set of the 2016 film Split. The couple tied the knot in 2019 and have a child together, whose name has not been publicly disclosed. McAvoy recently spoke about fatherhood later in life, saying he worries less but feels more tired.
McAvoy and Liberati moved to a larger home in London after spending the pandemic in a small flat. The actor has also embraced Liberati's hometown of Philadelphia, calling it 'like a second home' and supporting local sports teams.
