Barry Keoghan has fuelled speculation that he is dating Sabrina Carpenter, with him having expressed support on social media amid his rumoured partner being on tour.
The actor, 31, and singer-songwriter Sabrina, 24, have been romantically linked for months but have yet to confirm a relationship. They have been spotted together on several occasions, including on an apparent 'dinner date' in the US.
Sabrina - whose best known songs include Feather and Skin - is currently on tour with Taylor Swift, 34. She's been the support act on the Eras tour in Australia this month and was brought on stage to sing with Taylor earlier this week.
Following the concert in Sydney on Friday, Sabrina took to Instagram to reflect on sharing the stage with the fellow singer-songwriter. Her post included footage of them performing Taylor's song White Horse at a piano together.

I love you so so so dearly Taylor. Always have, always will. Thank you Sydney for making me feel so welcome! See you tonight."

The post on Instagram has amassed more than 3 million likes since it was uploaded and it prompted reaction in the comments section this week. This included it being met with a response from Sabrina's rumoured partner Barry.
The actor - known for films like the Banshees of Inisherin (2022) and Saltburn (2023) - seemingly addressed lyrics in the song, which include: "I should've known that I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale." He reacted to Sabrina's post by sharing an emoji depicting a blonde-haired royal figure.
His comment alone has more than 10,000 likes. Although some fans were divided over the potential romance, one person wrote: "I am going to freak out." Someone said: "I wasn't expecting this." Whilst a third follower said: "OMG."

Similarly, someone else wrote in the comments section of the post earlier this week: "Treat our princess well."
There has been speculation that actor Barry and Sabrina are dating after they were first linked just months ago. The rumoured couple were spotted on an apparent 'dinner date' in Los Angeles, California, in December last year.
It comes following reports five months earlier that BAFTA winner Barry - whose credits include Eternals (2021) - had separated from his partner Alyson Kierans. The exes welcomed their son, Brando, now 17 months old, in 2022.
Sabrina was invited to join Taylor on stage at the Accor Stadium in Sydney earlier this week after her opening set was cancelled due to weather conditions. Taylor reportedly described Sabrina, in an introduction, as her "incredibly talented, wonderful, gorgeous, hilarious, genius opening act".
