It’s real. It’s happening. Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan are dating.
The “Espresso” singer and the Saltburn actor were first linked in December 2023, after Carpenter’s breakup with singer Shawn Mendes and Keoghan’s split from girlfriend Alyson Sandro, with whom he shares a baby son, Brando.
Since then, the two stars have gone public with their romance—sending us all into a spiral.
See everything we know, below.

March 3, 2024: Barry supports Sabrina at her performance in Singapore.
Keoghan is in the audience, looking as smitten as ever, as Carpenter takes the stage as the opener for Taylor Swift when the Eras Tour comes to Singapore.
Throughout the performance, the actor—wearing a red bomber jacket and matching baseball cap—can’t stop smiling and gazing at his girlfriend with adoring eyes. The cuteness peaks when she sings her outro for “Nonsense.” It goes: “He said that he wishes he was on me / Got me wetter than the Jewel Changi / Singapore, I hope you like my song-y.”
For most of the song, Keoghan hides his smile behind the show badge hanging around his neck, but as Carpenter wraps up, he happily cheers with his arms up.
“Oh, that man love LOVES her,” one fan comments on TikTok. “HE’S SO IN LOVE,” writes another. “Stop I love them so much,” posts a third.
