Barry Keoghan broke the hearts of millions across the globe with his Oscar-nominated portrayal of a hapless character in The Banshees of Inisherin. The actor then stopped hearts in terror with his sneaky cameo as the horrifically disfigured Joker in The Batman. However, it was The Killing of a Sacred Deer that solidified his status as a force to watch out for.

Despite his Oscar-nominated performance, Barry Keoghan continues to surprise across all genres including war dramas (Masters of the Air), thrillers (Saltburn), comic book epics (Eternals), fantasy adventures (The Green Knight), and even an upcoming Western historical biopic about the notorious cowboy outlaw, Billy the Kid.
When an accomplished actor such as himself gets entangled in rumored relationship dramas helmed by celebrity gossip columns, it is unlikely for fans to sit idly by and watch his reputation get deconstructed over social media.
Barry Keoghan Found Love in the Weirdest Place
Barry Keoghan’s love life is the subject of many a fan’s fascination. However, those who have followed the Saltburn actor over the past year would know that there is no greater love in his life than his “baby boy,” as he so often calls his son. The 31-year-old Irish actor is already a proud dad to a 2-year-old Brando, born in August 2022.

However, after his split from his longtime partner, Keoghan met rising pop star Sabrina Carpenter at the 2023 Met Gala and has been famously attached to her since. The fashionable couple made their public debut shortly afterward at the Grammy Awards, later being seen dining together, going out on dates, and celebrating each other’s milestones, including going viral with Sabrina Carpenter’s recent music video, Please Please Please.
From his difficult childhood bouncing around 13 foster homes to living through the tragedy of his drug-addled mother who died of an overdose when he was only 12, Barry Keoghan’s achievements since then have all been remarkably and miraculously his own. The fame and global adoration are merely a fraction of the respect that the actor has curried for himself with his hard work and devotion to the filmmaking industry.

Recently, the rumors circulated through DeuxMoi, a celebrity gossip column, indicate that not all is well in paradise. The actor-singer It couple have allegedly broken up after a year of whirlwind romance. Although such news usually comes with a load of sympathies and support, a toxic subsection of Sabrina Carpenter’s fans have taken it upon themselves to drag the Irish actor through the mud for being romantically involved with the pop star.
In response, Barry Keoghan’s fans have clapped back at the post accusing him of being a “random Irish actor” with no holds barred. Since then, Twitter has been an open battlefield of riled-up fans taking sides, each championing their own favorite.
Despite the current tug-of-war among fans of Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter, the couple has been blissfully ignorant of the online drama that surrounds them.
In a recent Instagram post where the singer promoted the launch of her next album and a limited edition vinyl track with an exclusive single, Keoghan has been recorded as liking the post, thus effectively shutting down all rumors of a breakup.
Sabrina Carpenter’s next studio album, Short n’ Sweet, comes out on August 23, 2024.
