Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter are no longer keeping their relationship a secret. The Saltburn star and the Feather singer made their public debut as a couple at the Eras Tour in Singapore on Sunday, where Carpenter performed as the opening act for Taylor Swift.
The pair, who have been rumored to be dating since late 2023, were spotted by fans in the VIP tent at the Singapore National Stadium in Kallang, holding hands and smiling as they watched Swift’s show. Keoghan, 31, was also seen cheering for Carpenter, 24, as she sang her hit song Nonsense, which she always improvises with a different outro depending on the location of her performance.
In a video that quickly circulated on X (formerly Twitter), Keoghan appeared captivated by Carpenter’s cheeky ad-lib lyrics, which included a reference to the famous indoor waterfall inside Singapore’s Jewel Changi shopping mall. He covered his mouth with his VIP lanyard as he listened, and then clapped and raised his hands in the air as Carpenter finished her song.
The history
Keoghan and Carpenter first crossed paths during Paris Fashion Week in September 2023, where they posed for photos at the Givenchy show. They sparked romance rumors in December, when they were seen having dinner together in Los Angeles, just months after Keoghan split from his longtime girlfriend Alyson Kierans.
Since then, the duo have been spotted on several occasions, showing their affection and support for each other. In January 2024, they visited the Luna Luna art-centric theme park in Los Angeles, where an onlooker told PEOPLE that they shared a kiss and looked “cute” together. In February, they were seen leaving Nobu in L.A. and heading to Hotel Bel-Air, where Keoghan dropped Carpenter off at her house the next morning with another kiss. Later that month, they were photographed leaving Delilah and Ysabel, two popular restaurants in West Hollywood.
Keoghan has also shown his love for Carpenter on social media, liking and commenting on her posts. He also accompanied her to Australia in February, where she opened for Swift’s Eras Tour in Sydney and Melbourne. The pair even visited the Sydney Zoo together, where they posed for a sweet photo with a koala.
