Saltburn star Barry Keoghan has continued to fuel romance rumours after being spotted on a “date night” with American artist Sabrina Carpenter.

The pair were spotted leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles this week.

The Irish actor, 31, stepped out with Carpenter, 24, before they reportedly set out to a bar in the West Hollywood neighbourhood.

It comes after grainy photos emerged of the unlikely pair “hanging out” in December 2023, sending the internet into meltdown.

Pop culture X account, Pop Crave, posted about the alleged first date and let the internet know the gossip.

“Sabrina Carpenter was spotted on a dinner date with Barry Keoghan in Los Angeles,” the account wrote.

People online were surprised by the pairing as it was recently rumoured Carpenter was seeing fellow clean-cut singer Shawn Mendes.

“That’s an interesting pairing! Wonder what that’s about,” one commented.

“Is this real or an AI creation?” one fan asked.

Last year, Keoghan welcomed a son with his former partner, dental nurse Alyson Kierans, but according to The Sun the two reportedly split quietly sometime arond then.

Meanwhile, Carpenter is currently single after being famously embroiled in a Generation Z love triangle.

She dated Joshua Bassett right after fellow pop star Olivia Rodrigo had done.

Rodrigo’s smash hit break-up song Driver’s License contains the lyrics, “You’re probably with that blonde girl,” - and Carpenter has been long-rumoured as the very blonde Rodrigo was worrying about.
