Relationship with Glen Hansard
Hansard and Irglova, who co-starred in the film Once together, engaged in a romantic relationship following the film. Media sources reported in late January 2009 that the couple had split. Irglova gave this statement, "It did become a real relationship. I think it was just a very natural part of what we were doing together. We had made the film (Once). We had gone through so much with the Oscar. Of course, we fell into each other's arms. It was a very necessary part of our friendship but I think we both concluded that that wasn't what we really wanted to do. So we're not together now. We're just really good friends."Huffington Post: "Once" Couple Splits In Real Life (January 27, 2009) -

If you dug the movie Once, I highly recommend the new album "Strict Joy" by The Swell Season (aka Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova's band).
