Barry Keoghan is one of those actors who has managed to be both a critic darling and star in big-budget movies, which means that he’s the kind of actor with a big following. Film pundits love him and regular fans love him. The actor who debuted way back in 2011 in the film Between the Canals, got his big break with the 2021 MCU film Eternals and then was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in The Banshees of Inisherin.
After that would come Saltburn, and with that viral fame for the actor.

As Keoghan’s star rose, so did the interest in his dating life. This was particularly true because his latest relationship—with pop star Sabrina Carpenter—was so high profile. When you’re dating someone who is not just as famous as you, but more famous, everyone wants to know what’s going on and how things are going. And everyone also wants to know who you dated before, how the relationship started, and every little detail.
Keoghan and Carpenter’s relationship might have just come to an end—be it because the two were just busy and at different points in their careers, or because he cheated, it hasn’t been confirmed yet—but Carpenter hasn’t been the only woman Keoghan has been linked with. Here’s a list of Barry Keoghan’s girlfriends and his full dating history.
There’s been no confirmation about whether Keoghan really did cheat on Carpenter, but the rumors seem to indicate if he did, the woman he might be involved with could be LA-based influencer Breckie Hill. She personally fanned the flames of the rumors by resharing some videos talking about the breakup and about Keoghan’s supposed cheating.
Keoghan’s most high-profile relationship, singer Sabrina Carpenter reportedly met the actor at Paris Fashion Week in September of 2023. The two were then spotted together having dinner in Los Angeles in December 2023, sparking dating rumors. From then on, the rest was pretty obvious.
Instagram comments. Keoghan starring in Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” music video. Gushing about each other in interviews. The two didn’t keep the relationship secret and didn’t seem shy about how much they admired each other. And yet, in early December of 2023, PEOPLE reported they were parting ways. “They are both young and career-focused, so they’ve decided to take a break,” the magazine said.
At the time, however, reports indicated there was more behind the breakup, with rumors that Keoghan cheated on Carpenter with a blonde LA-based influencer gaining steam on social media. Some people even went as far as suggesting that the influencer was Breckie Hill. No one has confirmed the allegations yet, but we know that Keoghan and Carpenter are no more.
Sabrina then slyly shaded Barry in her new video of “Please Please Please” where she buries her ex-boyfriend, and replaces her partner-in-crime with none other than Dolly Parton.
Keoghan dated Sandro from 2021 to 2023, with the couple welcoming a son in August 2022. The two kept their relationship fairly low-key when they were dating, with Sandro reportedly not all that interested in Keoghan’s acting. He has spoken very highly of her since their break up, telling GQ in January 2024 about the Scottish orthodontist, “She’s done a great job, and she’s an incredible mother.”
Keoghan dated photographer Guerin from 2017 to 2021. The two met in a pub, and Keoghan gushed about their relationship in 2019, saying, “I’d be lost without her, I’m telling you that. I wouldn’t be the man I am now without her,” Keoghan said. “With this game, rejection comes as well and that can be hard. Flying away, almost getting a part and then losing it. It’s draining. I’d be down on myself, and she’d pick me right up and remind me what I’m doing. She’s made me a man.”
By 2020, however, the relationship had fizzled and Keoghan removed all traces of her from his social media.
