“Wherever Alyson or my boy is… That’s home for me now,” Keoghan told GQ.
Alyson is also a mother to Keoghan’s son Brando, who is named after actor Marlon Brando.

Most recently, Alyson liked a comment that read “”More appreciation for mothers raising their kids practically by themselves. My mom was my hero!!! You’re already his hero too.”
She also liked a comment that read “amazing and inspiring mama doing it all herself.”
While these comments do indicate anything problematic between the former couple, we’re still hoping Keoghan is doing his fair share of the childcaring.
