It looks like Irish actor Barry Keoghan is set to be a dad

Big things are in store for the actor.

It appears Barry Keoghan has announced that he is set to welcome his first child. The 29-year-old Dubliner took to his Instagram Stories on Saturday night to share a photo of him and girlfriend Alyson Sandro at what appeared to be a gender reveal party. The couple embraced each other in front of a box filled with blue balloons as blue confetti fell around them. Meanwhile, a sign behind the couple reads: "He or She, what will the baby be…” Seemingly hitting back at any potential haters, Barry captioned the picture: "I don't know why other people have their opinions. We are happy here." Barry and Alyson have not confirmed the pregnancy yet, but the gender reveal has people convinced the two have a baby on the way. The couple first started dating in February 2021, before going Instagram official in September. They also walked the red carpet together at the premiere of Eternals in London in October. Barry himself has been enjoying huge success in his acting career as of late, taking on the role of the iconic Joker in the new Batman film. Unfortunately, the five-minute scene of the character which involved a confrontation with Robert Pattinson's Batman, did not make it into the movie in the end. Barry also recently revealed he has his sights set on becoming the next James Bond. Sharing a topless picture of himself to Twitter, he wrote: "Bond who?" In a later interview with Ryan Tubridy, he addressed the photo, saying: "Ah look, I was having a bit of craic, you know, you just throw your hat in the ring for it and see what happens. But I am curious to see where they go upon. “Even to play the villain. That would be quite cool. But maybe Bond – actually, you know what, maybe Bond.  We will see, we will see what happens.”
