Keoghan, who became a father in August 2022 with his former partner Alyson Sandro, previously deleted his social media accounts in 2024 after facing intense backlash following his breakup with singer Sabrina Carpenter.

Despite the impact on his confidence and daily life, Keoghan continues to focus on his work and is currently filming The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event, directed by Sam Mendes.
