Irish actor Barry Keoghan has deactivated his Instagram account after facing heavy speculation and harassment over his relationship with pop star Sabrina Carpenter. The 32-year-old actor’s ex-partner Alyson Sandro gave birth to their infant son in August 2022, prompting a swift shift in Keoghan’s love life towards Carpenter. However, the brief romance ended, leaving Keoghan facing social media backlash and rumors of infidelity.
Keoghan took to X to address the harassment, stating that his name has been “dragged across the internet” with “hate” and “lies” about him and his son. He emphasized that he could no longer let the online drama distract him from his family and work. The actor also expressed concern for his infant son’s future, urging people to be respectful of their private lives.
The news comes as Keoghan is set to star as Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles film series, a project he has been preparing for.
