They're Ireland's most famous couple – but what are the chances of them making it?
Last year, several celebrity lovers parted ways, including Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn, who had been together for six years.
With this in mind, an online casino company asked two body language experts to find signs of whether some of our favorite couples will make it or fail.

According to dating coach and nonverbal communication analyst Adam Lyons, that's not good news for actor Barry Keoghan and his girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter.
He assumes their romance won't last.
However, according to fellow expert Inbaal Honigman, fellow Irish actress and girlfriend Cillian Murphy has an enduring love for his wife Yvonne McGuinness.
The study was carried out on behalf of MinimumDepositCasinos.org.
Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan
Adam Lyons says: “Despite relationship rumors since late 2023, singer Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan only made their first public appearance together at the Grammys afterparty in February 2024 and have been seen at Oscars afterparties since then.”
Dubliner Keoghan – who starred in Saltburn and The Banshees of Inisherin – was spotted supporting Sabrina as she opened for Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour in Singapore.

“I don’t like the look of her body language at all. Sabrina keeps a clear distance from him and he leans forward.
“He's more into her than she is into him, and she's definitely not particularly comfortable showing her affection for him publicly. It might stay this year, but in the long term I’m not so sure.”
Daniel and Majella O'Donnell
Inbaal Honigman says, “Daniel and Majella O'Donnell's body language shows that they have similar goals in life.”
“In most photos, the singer is seen looking straight into the camera with a 'showbiz' face – a neutral smile, raised cheekbones and direct, bright eyes.”
“It symbolizes happiness, but also shows that he is aware that looking happy is part of his job. Every time we see them together, his wife flashes an identical smile at the camera – showing us how similar their personalities are.”

“However, the fact that we always see them looking straight ahead and not at each other means that they are not keeping an eye on each other all the time. Their relationship is mature and independent, and their love is not dependent on “checking in on each other.”
“Their bodies and postures show much more closeness than their facial expressions. In most of the photos, Daniel and Majella express faithful and familiar body language.”
“The couple tends to either hold hands, give each other a little hug, or stand with their upper bodies facing each other. This means that they both feel most comfortable when they are physically close to each other and that they receive support from being close side by side.” . Your closeness means trust.”
Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith
Inbaal says: “Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith's body language shows that they are always having so much fun together.”
“The Bond star always seems lively when his wife is around. We see him smiling broadly, his cheeks crinkling at the intensity of his grin. That kind of fun, joyful expression can’t be faked.”
“Keely seems equally pleased when Pierce speaks, her teeth shining with a hearty laugh. There is no doubt that the long-married couple are having a lot of fun together, whether the cameras are there or not.”

“Their eyes are always on each other, making sure they respond to whatever their partner says or does. They are fully engaged with each other at all times.”
“In most of their photos together, Pierce is very close to his wife. Whether face to face or standing side by side, the lovers' bodies are always in contact with each other.
“This suggests an intimate and caring relationship between the two. Their body language reveals that there is a bond of trust, love and complete self-confidence between them.”
Cillian Murphy and Yvonne McGuinness
Inbaal says: “Cillian Murphy and Yvonne McGuinness' body language reveals a lot about the enigmatic couple, who seem to be happiest when they are together.”
“The Oppenheimer Oscar winner always has his artist wife as close to him as possible in every photo of the couple. If they need to look in a different direction, he puts his arm around them.”

“It shows that being around her boosts his confidence, and he’s not as confident without her.”
“Yvonne herself needs Cillian around to lift her spirits – as evidenced by her bowed head when she hugs or congratulates him.
“This lets us know that she is happy for him to take the lead – and ironically, he feels the same way about her.”
“Their body language is close and intimate, this couple can't keep their hands off each other even after two children, so the love they share is powerful and unbeatable.”
