There’s a new love in Barry Keoghan’s life, and she’s not someone who will ever have been on your radar.

After his love affair with Sabrina Carpenter, one of the biggest pop stars in the world, the Dublin man is ditching high-profile romances in favour of a ‘low-key’ relationship.

That, in part, could be because he was haunted by allegations of cheating, and was forced to defend himself that nothing untoward happened while he was in a relationship with Sabrina.

Instead, he has found new love in his girlfriend, Danica Hall, a Staffordshire native who now lives in London. ‘Neeka’, as her friends call her, had been working for a cosmetic surgery company in Marylebone.

The couple was spotted packing on the PDA in Barcelona earlier this month. She’s ‘well-connected’ through her work, but doesn’t lead a life in the limelight. Instead, she met Barry through friends.

A close friend of the actor said that when things got serious between the pair, Neeka went as far as to delete all of her social media, including her LinkedIn.

According to The Sun, the pair are totally ‘smitten’. It’s been reported that what Barry finds charming in Neeka is much the same as what he found charming about his ex-girlfriend, Alyson Kierans, with whom he shares his son, Brando.

The source said Barry values ‘normalness’ in a partner, which is what he had with Alyson, a dental nurse, and now with Neeka.

‘She gets that he wants to live a quiet life, and she is totally down for that,’ the insider said.

‘Career-wise, Barry is going from strength to strength,’ they continued. The Beatles biopics will be intense from next year, with promotion all over the globe, and Barry knows his feet won’t touch the ground.

‘With Neeka, he’s been able to spend time doing things he loves. Working hard, living a quiet life, and hanging out with his mates.

‘He’s been through a high-profile romance, he’s not in a hurry to go back.’
