Gabriel Byrne criticised the marketing strategy employed by Guinness known as Arthur's Day as "a cynical piece of exercise in a country which has a huge drinking problem." Byrne had a 12-year relationship with the TV producer and presenter, Aine O'Connor, from 1974-86. He had begun a relationship with actress Ellen Barkin, and relocated to New York City to be with her. A year later, in 1988, Byrne married Barkin, with whom he has two children, John "Jack" Daniel (born 1989) and Romy Marion (born 1992). The couple separated amicably in 1993, and then divorced in 1999. Byrne currently resides in Manhattan.
