Barry Keoghan shares rare photo of lookalike son after claims of being a 'dead beat'

Barry Keoghan has delighted fans by posting a rare photo of his son on social media amidst rumors that Sabrina Carpenter has ended their relationship .

The 31-year-old Irish actor, known for his role in The Banshees of Inisherin, and the 25-year-old singer met at Paris Fashion Week in September 2023. They made their relationship official at the Met Gala in New York and went public this February.

Despite appearing solid, it seems there's trouble in paradise, especially if the popstar's recent TikTok video is anything to go by .

Reports suggest Sabrina called it quits with Barry over his love of partying. In his first social media post since the break up buzz began, Barry is focusing on family, sharing an adorable picture of him and his son Brando playing with toys.

With a following of 2.7 million, the Dublin native captioned the image: "He's more of a charmer than i am. Our wee Brando". Barry shares Brando with his former partner, dental hygienist Alyson Kierans.

Keoghan had previously been hit with "dead beat" dad claims after fans realized he'd broken up with his ex with whom he shares a child.

One said: "Nothing worse than a dead beat parent. Makes sense that they split up over his partying and wild nights."

Another wrote: "Nothing worse than a dead beat parent who is famous."

Taking a break from the limelight, Barry is reportedly single again after the split three weeks ago, while Sabrina looks forward to her upcoming music tour.

An insider revealed to The Sun: "He has always been a party animal and Sabrina was fed up with his antics. She is soaring in the charts and is putting herself first as she gears up for her tour next month."

Last month, Sabrina set tongues wagging about a potential split from Barry after eagle-eyed fans deciphered hints in her latest music video starring him. She appeared to send a message through her lyrics, and when quizzed about the gossip, Sabrina was cryptic but remarked, "I write songs about exactly how I feel, so I suppose it's not surprising that people are interested in who or what those songs are about. It's part of the job."

Yet, she later put the rumors to rest by confirming that she and Barry were still an item, praising his reaction to her new track: "He loved it and is obsessed with the lyrics. 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. Seeing him in the video with my song as the soundtrack made it even more special."

More recently, Barry dropped a hint about their ongoing romance with a supportive social media post regarding Sabrina's countdown to her upcoming album release, which she had announced on Instagram. "Officially 1 week until short n' sweet!" she posted, hyping up a limited edition bonus track vinyl that includes an exclusive song titled Needless to Say.
