Barry Keoghan is an Irish actor and amateur boxer who started his acting career in 2011. He has since been in several movies and series, such as "Love/Hate," "Fair City," "Eternals," "The Banshees of Inisherin," and more.

He has been dating his Scottish girlfriend since 2021, but there is very little information about her in public. When Barry Keoghan's girlfriend's name is mentioned in the press, it is often about her relationship with the actor.

Although most celebrities build relationships within their circles and with other stars, Keoghan's case is unique. His girlfriend, Sandro, is not in the entertainment industry.

According to several sources, she is an orthodontist, a dentist specializing in preventing, diagnosing, and treating numerous facial and dental anomalies.

She also prefers to keep her personal life away from the public. However, she has an Instagram account where she loves to capture every moment even though she shares it with only a close group of friends and followers.

The Relationship between Barry Keoghan and His Girlfriend Developed Rapidly

Sandro and Keoghan met at a bar in London in early 2021, and when he told her he was an actor, she said to him that she did not care. When he tried to tell her about his role as a superhero, she wanted to know if he was playing Superman.

The actor tried to prove to her that he was telling the truth by showing her pictures of his roles and others with his fellow "Eternals" cast mate, Angelina Jolie.

They soon started dating, and the actor regularly shares pictures with Sandro on his Instagram page and openly shows his love. About a year later, she became pregnant with their first child.

Like Sandro, Keoghan loves privacy despite fame and does not like parties. He prefers and values the relationships he had before he became a celebrity.

In October 2021, the couple made their red carpet debut as they attended the U.K. premiere of "Eternals." They also made another public appearance one year later at the screening of "The Banshees Of Inisherin."

When Barry Keoghan got his nomination for the Best Supporting Actor category at the Golden Globes for his role in "The Banshees Of Inisherin," Sandro wasted no time praising him on her Instagram Story.

The actor reshared her post on his Instagram Story, and even though he did not win the Golden Globes, he wrote that he had already won by having her as his girlfriend.

Barry Keoghan Felt a Love He Had Never Felt Before

In March 2022, there was news that Keoghan and Sandro would be expecting a boy as the couple had a gender reveal party, which he shared on his Instagram Story.

A few months later, they welcomed their son, Brando, in August 2022. The actor shared a post on his Instagram on August 8, 2022, showing his fans their family of three.

The actor had earlier revealed that their son would be born through cesarean section, but he would only have one day to spend with them. However, he remarked that becoming a father made him feel the type of love he had never experienced.

Even though he had to return to the set of "Saltburn," leaving his new baby and girlfriend alone, Sandro was not worried. She revealed she was capable as she said:

"Barry's lucky that I'm a Scottish, independent woman."

Barry Moved to L.A. with His Previous Girlfriend

Before his relationship with Sandro, Keoghan was in a long-term relationship with Shóna Guerin. They had been dating since 2017 and even moved to Los Angeles, where they shared a house.

She has worked as an assistant on the set of two films, "Disenchanted" and was the actor's assistant on "Eternals," a Marvel superhero film that also starred Gemma Chan, Lauren Ridloff, Kit Harington, Salma Hayek, and others.
