Are Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter Dating? Inside Relationship After Red Carpet Debut

Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter sparked relationship rumors after they were spotted out on an apparent date in January 2024, while then continued to spark speculation by making more public outings together. Are they dating or just friends?

Are Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter Dating?

While Barry and Sabrina have not publicly commented on rumors that they’re dating, they made their first red carPet appearance together at the Met Gala on May 6, 2024. The duo arrived at the event together and posed for photos separately before joining one another at the top of the steps for joint shots.

The two were first spotted out together at the beginning of December 2023, when photographers caught them heading to dinner together in Brentwood, California. There were no signs of PDA in the photos. However, the entertainers arrived at the restaurant together.

On January 13, 2024, fans spotted Barry and Sabrina at Luna Luna in Los Angeles. They both dressed down in black outfits for their night out at the interactive art museum.

“It definitely seemed like a date,” People reported, with an onlooker telling the magazine that Barry and Sabrina “shared a little kiss” while checking out the exhibits.

Barry later played coy when he was asked about the dating rumors while speaking to Vanity Fair in February 2024 about his movie Saltburn. “Look, I read all of that, and it obviously gets sent to me as well. But you gotta take it with a pinch,” he said about the online speculation. “It’s just the response to the movie that’s kicking a lot of stuff about.”

He added that he tries to “stay away from the internet because I want to kind of get back to some meditative stuff.” Barry continued, “By that I mean Boxing or playing the PlayStation or going out on a walk, or stuff that involves me being present. You lose sight of that when you’re on the press tour. It’s about putting the phone down or whatever and taking time to yourself. Be nice to yourself.”

The pair went on to spark romance rumors when Barry Traveled to Singapore to watch Sabrina open up for Taylor Swift on the Eras tour on March 2, 2024. One fan took to X to share a video of Barry watching Sabrina sing her hit song “Nonsense,” while he proudly cheered for her at the end of the performance.

Just more than one week after Barry went to the Eras tour, he and Sabrina attended the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars party together on March 10, 2024. After hitting the red carPet at the same time — but posing separately — the pair cuddled up for a photo together inside the event.

Barry seemingly paid tribute to Sabrina by wearing a friendship bracelet that was decorated with a heart charm and seemingly included her name spelled out in letter beads.

In April 2024, Barry was in the front row for Sabrina’s set at Coachella. He proudly danced along to her music and then they watched other acts perform together later in the evening. The singer even gave her man a subtle shout-out while singing her song “Nonsense,” which she concludes with a different outro at every concert.

Sabrina referenced the viral Saltburn scene where Barry’s character drinks bathwater that Jacob Elordi’s character had just masturbated in. “Man, his knees so weak he had to spread mine / He’s drinkin’ my bathwater like it’s red wine / Coachella, see you back here when I headline,” she sang.

Who Else Has Barry Keoghan Dated?

Before he was linked to Sabrina, Barry dated Alyson Sandro for more than two years. The exes met at a bar in London in February 2021. They confirmed their relationship by making their red carpet debut as a couple that October. In August 2022, Alyson gave birth to her and Barry’s son, Brando.

However, by July 2023, reports surfaced that Barry and Alyson had ended their relationship. The Saltburn star does not often talk about his personal life and did not publicly confirm the breakup rumors until January 2024. “She’s done a great job and she’s an incredible mother,” he told GQ.

When it came to fatherhood, the actor was a bit more loose-lipped. “I feel a responsibility,” he admitted. “I feel an enormous amount of pressure, which is good. And I can’t get the little boy off my mind. It’s beautiful. You know, it’s crazy, but when he looks at you, you feel like the most important person in the world. That’s the effect he has on me. He smiles at you and you’re like, ‘Wow, you’re smiling at me like that? I don’t deserve that.’”

Although they skipped walking the red carPet together, they were seen chatting inside the star-studded event. However, just days later, Shawn insisted, “We are not dating.” The sightings of them together began to fizzle out after that.
