Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter's dating timeline
The pair reportedly met at a Givenchy event in September 2023. At the time, Carpenter was rumored to be dating musician Shawn Mendes. Keoghan was in a relationship with orthodontist Alyson Sandro, with whom he'd welcomed a baby boy named Brando in August 2022.
After their respective breakups, Carpenter and Keoghan were photographed dining together in December 2023. They attended a Los Angeles party together in February 2024, and the relationship was all but confirmed in March, when Carpenter ran into Keoghan's arms after performing as an opener for Taylor Swift in Singapore.
They continued to support one another at events like the Vanity Fair Oscars Party through April, when Carpenter performed at Coachella and Keoghan was beaming in the crowd. On May 6, they had the ultimate glamorous date night at the Met Gala.
What Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan have said about each other
Carpenter is known for changing up the outro to her song "Nonsense" during performances, writing a couple of clever lines about whatever city she's in or stage she's on. At Coachella, she sang, “Man his knees so weak, he had to spread mine / He’s drinkin’ my bath water like it’s red wine / Coachella, see you back here when I headline.” The second line is a possible reference to a much-talked-about scene in the movie Saltburn.
