Ronan has spoken publicly about her affection for the city, describing it as her second home. At a recent red carpet event, she shared her early bond with Edinburgh:
“When I was a kid, I had done a couple of days in Edinburgh on a film called Death Defying Acts, and I remember turning to my mam—we were doing a night shoot, everyone was knackered—and I thought ‘I’m going to move here one day,’”

She described the balance between her personal and professional life, expressing her readiness for parenthood:
“I became successful when I was quite young. So it meant that, actually, by the time I found my partner, I’m now at the stage where if it happened, I would like to have a kid. I feel fortunate enough that if I step out of this for a minute, I’m hopefully not giving it up forever. But, yeah, I’ve always wanted that.”
