AceShowbiz - Barry Keoghan has reportedly broken up with his girlfriend Alyson Kierans. The 30-year-old actor had dated Alyson since February 2021 and has an 11-month-old son with her but insiders have now claimed that she has declared things as being "over" after things "came to a head" following months of "growing apart" from each other.
"They're incredibly sad but they were determined to do the best for their son. They've grown apart over recent months and things have finally come to a head. As far as she's concerned, it's over," the source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper.
The "Dunkirk" star - who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in "The Banshees of Inisherin" in 2023 - revealed towards the end of last year that he "relied" on Alyson for a lot in life, especially following the death of his mother when he was just 12 years old, as he reflected that he had to "drink" a lot of his grief.
He told British GQ, "I'm not gonna sit here and say I'm very independent. I rely on Alyson to do a lot for me, you know, but you build this thing in you without your mother or your father. A toughness, You have to figure it out yourself. You go to the pub and you drink it down."
When asked what it was like being a dad for the first time, Barry labelled the experience as incredible and noted that he had felt a certain kind of love for the first time ever in welcoming the child. He added, "Being a dad is incredible, it's a love I've not felt before."
