Over the last several years, Barry Keoghan has become one of the most in-demand young actors in the world. Able to star in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie Eternals and briefly play The Joker in the DC Comics film The Batman, it seems everyone wants to work with Keoghan.
Unfortunately for Keoghan, stars like him often have their love lives in the spotlight. After all, fans want to know things like how cancer affected Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed Simmons and about John Lennon’s forgotten love triangle. As a result, fans have been paying attention to Keoghan’s love life and noticed something scandalous.
Barry Keoghan May Have Been Involved In A Love Triangle
In 2023, Barry Keoghan starred in the movie Saltburn, which focused on a young man dealing with the complications of intimacy and money. In real life, Keoghan has been learning to cope with the realities of having a love life in the public eye. In some cases, the increased spotlight on Keoghan has revealed the allegedly eyebrow-raising nature of his love life.
On August 8th, 2022, Barry Keoghan announced that he’d become a father with the birth of his son. Keoghan announced the momentous news by sharing an intimate-looking photo of the family he appeared to be building at the time.
In that photo, Keoghan could be seen without a shirt on with his longtime partner Alyson Kierans lying on him as she cradled their son. The perception that the couple was building a family was only cemented with news that later came out about their living situation.
In February 2023, it was reported that Keoghan, Kierans, and their son had made a big move. According to reports at that time, the young family had moved to Broughty Ferry together. For anyone who has never heard of Broughty Ferry, it is a suburb of Dundee, Scotland. Only months after that move, however, the honeymoon appeared to be over.
Barry Keoghan Just Got Real About What Went Wrong With Eternals
It’s fair to say that Eternals didn’t meet expectations, and Barry Keoghan has thoughts on why it flopped.
In January 2024, Keoghan was interviewed by GQ for a profile of the famous actor. During his conversation with the publication’s writer Alex Pappademas, Keoghan was asked about rumors that he and Kierans had split up. In response, Keoghan offered a very brief comment about Kierans.
What is the timeline of Barry Keoghan and Alyson Kierans’ relationship according to The Standard, Who’s Dated Who, and GQ?
“She’s done a great job, and she’s an incredible mother.”
According to the responses to Keoghan’s comments, this was seen as confirmation that he was no longer with Kierans. It is worth noting that Keoghan had nothing else to say at that time about his love life.
According to GQ’s article about Keoghan, rumors that he and Kierans broke up began in July 2023.
At the time that those rumors spread, The Sun published an article about the end of Keoghan’s relationship with the mother of his son. According to that report which cited “sources”, the end of Keoghan’s relationship happened partially because he partied too much. On top of that, The Sun’s article claimed that Keoghan was accused of becoming close to another woman.

Barry Keoghan’s career is booming, but his journey to the top wasn’t the smoothest.
“They’ve grown apart over recent months and things have finally come to a head. His partying caused arguments. Alyson also suspects he has got close to someone else and is adamant there is no going back. “As far as she’s concerned, it’s over.”
When considering The Sun’s report, it is important to note that the claim that Keoghan was close to another woman hasn’t been confirmed. It is also worth noting that according to that same report, Keoghan and Kierans’ breakup was controversial for another reason.
Throughout Hollywood history, there has always been a perception that acting fame can corrupt the previously innocent. As a result, it is pretty scandalous that The Sun reported that it was the acclaim Keoghan’s movie The Banshees of Inisherin received that led to his relationship ending.
