Rather than attending conventional auditions, Farmiga often submitted self-recorded audition tapes to casting directors. One such tape caught the attention of acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese, leading to her role as Dr. Madolyn Madden, a police psychologist, in the Academy Award-winning 2006 film The Departed. The film also featured Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nicholson, and marked a turning point in Farmiga's acting career.
In 2008, Farmiga appeared in the film adaptation of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. The following year, she starred opposite George Clooney in Jason Reitman’s drama-comedy Up in the Air, released on December 4, 2009. The film received widespread critical acclaim and earned Farmiga both Academy Award and BAFTA nominations for Best Supporting Actress.
Farmiga met actor Sebastian Roché while working on the series Roar. The two began a relationship and moved to The Bahamas at the end of the series in 1997. They married the same year but divorced in 2004. Later, Farmiga started dating musician Renn Hawkey of the band Deadsy, after being introduced by mutual friend and director Allen Hughes on the set of Touching Evil. The couple married in 2008 in a private ceremony, during which Farmiga was reportedly five months pregnant. They welcomed their first child, a son, in 2009 in New York, followed by a daughter, Gytta, born in 2010.
Vera Farmiga's net worth is estimated to be approximately $10 million, reflecting her successful career in film and television.
