How Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan Became Hollywood’s Newest It Couple
Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan are one of the hottest couples in Hollywood right now. Rumours about their relationship started buzzing in late 2023, though neither has officially spilled the beans yet.
The Saltburn actor recently split from Alyson Kierans, a dental nurse and orthodontic therapist, with whom he shares a son named Brando, born in August 2022. The two called it quits in July 2023 after being together for about two and a half years. According to sources, they had been drifting apart for some time, and things finally reached a breaking point.
On the other hand, the Espresso singer was last romantically linked to Shawn Mendes back in early 2023.
There were whispers that Keoghan might make his first public appearance with Carpenter at the Golden Globes in January 2024, but they ended up walking the red carpet separately. However, that hasn’t slowed down their connection one bit. Here’s a closer look at Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan’s relationship timeline so far.
