They made their official debut at the 2024 Met Gala, but were seen publicly and not shy about each other. In fact, several songs on Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet album were believed to be about Keoghan, such as Juno and Bed Chem. Yeah, too much information.
In June 2024, Carpenter released her single Please, Please, Please, and the music video featured Keoghan as her love interest.
Ironically, the song is about being with a new lover and begging them not to embarrass you by doing something stupid, like cheating. Yikes. It seems he did embarrass her, as they ended around six months later! Although they’ve been broken up for a while, Keoghan and Carpenter’s timeline is here.

During the month of love, the couple reached another milestone: their first public appearance. Together, they attended W Magazine’s Grammys afterparty. Inside, they were pictured hanging out.
As the month went on, the couple had a series of dates, and in Singapore, Keoghan supported Carpenter during her performance on The Eras Tour. Later that month, the two attended the prestigious Vanity Fair Oscars Afterparty together, where they took photos covering their faces. You can’t hide from us!
The next month, in April, Keoghan acted like a supportive boyfriend, watching Carpenter’s performance at Coachella. Multiple fans took videos of the Saltburn star supporting her and heading backstage with his girlfriend.
Again in May, the two made another debut, but this time on the Met Gala red carpet. Keoghan and Carpenter attended the prestigious event together. In Carpenter’s Vogue video, Keoghan is spotted getting ready with the singer.
Also in May, Keoghan throws his girlfriend a 25th birthday party.
Barry Keoghan makes an appearance in Carpenter’s music video
That June, as Carpenter was gearing up to release her album, she released the music video for Please, Please, Please, which features Keoghan as a criminal who keeps getting caught for his crimes.
For Variety, she opened up a bit more about her relationship with Keoghan and his reaction to the song. “He’s obsessed with the lyrics, and I’m so grateful for that. I don’t want to sound biased, but I think he’s one of the best actors of this generation. So getting to see him on the screen with my song as the soundtrack made the video better and all the more special,” she said.
However, that same month, rumors swirled via gossip site Deuxmoi that the couple were done. Responding to the rumors, Keoghan liked a few of Carpenter’s posts, seeming to assure fans they were still together.
Keoghan continued to show love to Carpenter on social media in October, commenting a thirsty comment on a photo of her and a friend. She also continued to speak about him in October in an interview with CBS.
On having him in the music video, Carpenter said: “On having him star in the music video, Carpenter said: “I, genuinely—like, a not-even-biased opinion—I was like, ‘Who’s the greatest actor that I can find for this music video?’ And he was next to me, in a chair”.
Barry Keoghan and Carpenter break up
After about a year of dating, Carpenter and Keoghan broke up in December 2024. People reported the news. A source told the tabloid, “‘They are both young and career-focused, so they’ve decided to take a break.”
Rumors swirled about Keoghan cheating, as influencer Breckie Hill nodded to the actor, although she later denied ever meeting him. She reposted a TikTok that reported on rumors that he cheated on Carpenter with her, which stirred up the drama.
Sources claim things didn’t end well. In March 2025, in a concert in Dublin, Carpenter remarked that Irish boys were “hard work,” apparently throwing shade at Keoghan.
He has since deactivated his Instagram account.
And there is the end of Barrybrina!
