Who is Barry Keoghan’s ex-girlfriend and baby mother?

Prior to his current global success, Barry was with Scottish dentist and orthopaedic therapist Alyson Kierans (Formerly Sandro) between 2021 to 2023 where after nearly three years and a child, the tabloids reported their break up in July 2023.

The relationship saw Barry through the most important years of his acting career where he was coming off the back of Eternals and filming the likes of Banshees of Inisherin, Saltburn and The Batman.

According to a source with the tabloids, Barry and Alyson decided to end things because they had grown apart. But there were rumours that Barry's fame and success and resulting partying habits were what caused problems between them.

Whilst Barry doesn't have a bad word to say about Alyson, stating in a 2024 interview with GQ, that “She’s [Alyson] done a great job and she’s an incredible mother.”

Alyson has most recently been noted liking Instagram comments that may have called out Barry on avoiding fatherly duties whilst praising her on raising their son solo.

"That’s the effect he has on me. He smiles at you and you’re like, Wow. You’re smiling at me like that? I don’t deserve that, but anyways, thanks.”
