If you're born in Northern Ireland you are automatically a citizen of  but you can also apply for  citizenship and will be granted it.

Dual citizenship is allowed in both countries.

Pretty certain he doesn't have  citizenship though

Sabbatini said his wife wants to become US citizen so I assume he holds US citizenship as well. That's the only logical reason why a Slovakian woman would even be granted such an opportunity? I mean living in USA would mean nothing if she was married to a South African? Unless Sabbatini throws his US passport at the Immigrations office
