Heartbroken wife of Jonathan Rhys Meyers reveals the devastated couple suffered a miscarriage after star is pictured looking ‘intoxicated’ and disheveled at Dublin Airport
Mara Lane also tells how her husband was denied help from an Irish hospital TWICE because of a two-month waiting list
THE wife of actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has revealed the couple suffered a miscarriage in a heartbreaking message posted on Instagram this morning.
The devastating message from Mara Lane also alleged the Cork-born star was TWICE turned away when he sought help from an Irish hospital because of a two-month waiting list.
And she wrote about his struggle with depression and alcoholism.
It follows the publication of photographs on Dublin Live showing the Mission Impossible II actor looking “intoxicated” and disheveled at Dublin Airport yesterday morning.
The 40-year-old star was seen near a departures gate before 10am and was said to be “staggering around” by onlookers.
Early this morning, Mara Lane wrote: "With much sadness, we open our hearts to share that J and I lost our second child, who was baking in the oven.
"Child was very very much wanted (right now especially by J, so he took the news particularly not so well) and we are still working with coping skills over here... when life throws us curve balls such as these.
"Depression is a real concern from past abuse as well as alcoholism which he was born with.
"He has been able to turn any ugliness and hurt in his life into art and is the strongest person I know.
"I do not know anyone who has been through what he has been through and reached his level of successes."
"It does seem though that every time we seem to be making so much progress... sometimes it's like two steps forward, one step back.
"Thank you family and friends and all of you lovely kind beautiful people who send us good energy and thoughts and support. It is so appreciated. I have so much love for you.
"To some others, my husband is an Irishman who battles alcoholism and depression and drank between jobs to try to cope with the sadness of this news.
"I am trying to and still learning/adjusting to living with the public, like one would as a concerned mother-in-law.
The published pictures showed the actor leaning against a wall and another of him being spoken to by airport security.
The website reported that the recovering alcoholic was due to catch an Air Canada flight to Vancouver from Terminal 1.
But security stepped in and led the dishevelled star away before he could do so.
In regards to this, Mara wrote: "I feel that whomever took photos of my husband was slightly in the wrong and was concerned for the wrong reasons but ... it's ok. It's ok.
"Maybe you have/had a family to feed and need/needed money? I don't know. We forgive you.
"He is safe and with his sober living companion and bodyguard to get into a detox closer to home since he was denied hospital help twice in Ireland because of an already two month wait period.
"Life is life. Life is beautiful. Life is tough sometimes though so let's try not looking down at someone unless we intend on helping them up.

In 2013, dad-of-one Jonathan who has a son with Mara, opened up about his horror addiction.
He said: “I was wild, I was as wild as you can get.
“When you are on the front of newspapers for stupidity, getting drunk at airports, fighting with cops and stuff like that, you wake up the next day and you can hardly f***ing remember it. Responsibility gets diminished.
“As you get older you see the stupid things you have done."
"At some point you come to a place – and I was lucky because some of my friends have never got to that place – where I saw it as something that was separate from me. It is kind of insanity to do it to that level. I was able to come to that realisation and I look for different things in life now."
