Wolf's arrival marks a change in fortunes for Irish star Jonathan, who battle with alcoholism has been well documented.
The handsome actor, who has appeared in Bend it Like Beckham as well as hit TV show The Tudors, publicly apologized to fans after he was pictured in a disheveled state while swigging neat vodka from the bottle on a London street.
Alongside a picture of a smiling Mara, he told Instagram followers: 'Mara and I are thankful for your support and kindness during this time. I apologizes [sic] for having a minor relapse and hope that people don't think too badly of me.'

He is believed to have had six stints in rehab over the past few years.
In May 2005 he checked into Promises in Malibu, California, seeking treatment for alcohol abuse, before returning for treatment in 2007.
On 27 February 2009, the actor checked into rehab a third time, checking out less than a month later on 15 March 2009.
In November 2011, the star was ordered by a French court to pay a restitution of €1,000 and was given a judgment of a suspended sentence for public intoxication 24 months earlier.
Shortly after his mother died in November 2007, Jonathan gave an interview to the Mail on Sunday's Live magazine to promote a new series The Tudors, in which he insisted his drinking had been 'blown out of all proportion.'
