He’s certainly got a type! How Barry Keoghan has moved on with superstar singer Sabrina Carpenter who is the spitting image of his ex-girlfriend Alyson Kierans
Barry Keoghan is believed to have moved on with Sabrina Carpenter following his split from long-term girlfriend Alyson Kierans.
The Saltburn actor, 31, is said to have split from Alyson, 35, last summer, almost a year after the birth of their son Brando, now 17 months old.
He was then linked to US superstar Sabrina, 24, last month when they went out for dinner in LA and it is believed they were seeing each other.
Singer Sabrina, who rose to fame on the Disney Channel and has built a successful music career, bears a striking resemblance to his ex-girlfriend Alyson.
They have eerily similar looks, from their wavy blonde locks to their glamorous sense of style – which they both give fans a glimpse of on their social media pages.

Sabrina was supported by Taylor Swift, who opened for the pop star on her smash hit Eras tour, and the pair have since built a close friendship.
She first gained recognition for her starring role in the Disney Channel comedy series Girl Meets World, before starring in Adventures in Babysitting.
Sabrina went on to impress with her vocal talents, signing with Hollywood Records in 2014, and her debut EP Can’t Blame a Girl for Trying was released that same year.
In 2015, she unveiled her debut solo album Eyes Wide Open, which was quickly followed by Evolution, Singular: Act I and Singular: Act II.
Sabrina moved to Island Records in 2021 and has released five studio albums to date, the most recent being Emails I Can’t Send, which saw her achieve great success.
The superstar’s songs Skin, Feather and Nonsense have all charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and she has also collaborated with Norwegian DJ Alan Walker.
Sabrina, who appeared on Broadway in Mean Girls, is the niece of Nancy Cartwright, best known for her long-running role as the voice of Bart Simpson in the Simpsons cartoon.
Barry was reportedly set to go public at the Golden Globes with his rumored new girlfriend Sabrina on Monday, but ended up hitting the red carpet solo.

Sabrina has become a singer after finding fame on the Disney Channel, while Barry met dentist Alyson (right) at a bar in London in February 2021
He reportedly told his ex Alyson he was going out with Sabrina and invited her to be his ‘plus one’, but she apparently wasn’t at the glitzy affair.
A source said The sun: “Barry thought it was best for Alyson to be the first to hear about him and Sabrina so she wouldn’t be hurt if she found out on social media.
‘He spends a lot of time in the United States and has invited Sabrina as his ‘plus one’ to the Golden Globes.
“Alyson and Barry continue to communicate for Brando’s sake and he has been open about his new relationship.”
After reports of Barry and Alyson’s split first emerged last summer, Barry seemingly confirmed their split this week.
In an interview with GQ magazineBarry was asked about reports that the couple had gone their separate ways.
He said, “She (Alyson) did a great job, and she’s a great mom.” The publication noted that he provided no further information about the split.
The Saltburn star also discussed fatherhood in the interview, saying he feels a “tremendous amount of pressure” to be a good father to his son Brando.
He added: “I can’t get the little boy out of my mind. It is beautiful. You know, it’s crazy, but when he looks at you, you feel like the most important person in the world.
‘That’s the effect he has on me. He smiles at you and you say, ‘Wow, are you smiling at me like that? I don’t deserve that, but thanks anyway.’
When reports of the split first emerged, it was said that the couple were ‘determined to do what was best for their son’ after deciding to split following arguments over late night partying.
A source said The sun: ‘They have been growing apart over the past few months and things have finally come to a head. As far as she’s concerned, it’s over.’

Barry’s new girlfriend and his ex bear a striking resemblance
Barry, who won a BAFTA for his supporting role in The Banshees of Inisherin, met dentist Alyson in a London bar in February 2021.
The couple made their red carpet debut in October that year and they put on a much-loved show as they packed on the PDA as they posed for snaps together.
They then confirmed they were expecting their first child together in June 2022 and welcomed their son Brando just two months later in August.
After his divorce from Alyson, Barry was expected to make his debut with Sabrina on the Golden Globes red carpet, but instead he stepped out solo.
A source said The sun: “Barry thought it was best for Alyson to be the first to hear about him and Sabrina so she wouldn’t be hurt if she found out on social media.
‘He spends a lot of time in the United States and has invited Sabrina as his ‘plus one’ to the Golden Globes.
“Alyson and Barry continue to communicate for Brando’s sake and he has been open about his new relationship.”
Barry has been spending more time in the US after previously moving in with Alyson in Dundee, Scotland, in the months following the birth of their son.
As for Sabrina’s exes, she was most recently linked to singer Shawn Mendes, 25.
However, Shawn denied there was anything romantic between them before she was pictured having dinner with Barry in Brentwood, Los Angeles before Christmas.
Shawn and Sabrina first became romantically involved in February when they were spotted on a hike, and the following month they attended Miley Cyrus’ album release party and the Vanity Fair Oscar Party together.

That same month, a source told ET, “Shawn and Sabrina are seeing each other. They’ve been hanging out a lot and trying to keep things quiet.”
The source continued, “They were at a birthday party together a few weeks ago and were adorable together. Shawn is happy.”
