Michael Flatley Personal life

In 1986, Flatley wed Polish make-up artist Beata Dziaba, but the two divorced 11 years later. In 2002, he became engaged to his long-time girlfriend Lisa Murphy, but they eventually broke up.
In April 2006, Flatley spoke about his recent discovery of a facial skin cancer.He had kept the cancer scare a closely guarded secret, but said, "I'm completely fine now, thank God."

At the 10th Anniversary of Lord of the Dance in June 2006, Michael Flatley was accompanied by dancer Niamh O’Brien, who dances with him in Celtic Tiger. The 30-something O'Brien had danced with Flatley in Riverdance, Lord of the Dance, and Feet of Flames before they shared the stage in Celtic Tiger. The two shortly thereafter announced that they were dating, and were married in "a low-key Catholic ceremony" in Fermoy, Co. Cork, on October 14, 2006.

On November 15, 2006, Flatley's publicist reported that he had been admitted to a hospital. According to media reports, he was suffering from a serious viral infection. All his up-and-coming shows for Celtic Tiger were cancelled. He left the hospital three weeks later.

Michael and Niamh became parents to their first child, a son, Michael St. James Flatley, on Thursday 26 April 2007. Flatley's financial worth was estimated at £350 million in a Daily Mail article, and he is known to maintain homes in Barbados, Chicago, France, Ireland and London.
