Barry Keoghan is the center of attention both in front of and behind the camera. With his acting career taking off since his debut in 2011, he shot to fame with his role in Marvel's Eternals in 2021. His star continued to rise when he earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Dominic Kearney in The Banshees of Inisherin the following year.

During his rapid ascent to fame, Keoghan and his former partner Alyson Sandro welcomed their son, Brando, in August 2022. "So, yes, I'll be a father to a baby boy," he shared in an interview with British GQ, conducted before Brando's arrival and published in October 2022.

While they were together, Keoghan rarely posted on social media about Sandro.

In a February 2022 post, Keoghan wrote, "M'lady you're beautiful ️️," alongside a photo of him and Sandro kissing under fairy lights.

The couple had been together for over a year before their son was born. The Sun was the first to report their breakup in July 2023. Since then, there have been rumors of Keoghan having a romance with Sabrina Carpenter.
