Why Did Sabrina Carpenter & Barry Keoghan Break Up? – Hollywood Life

Please, please, please—why do celebrity couples keep breaking up? One of the hottest couples of the year was Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan, who began dating in December 2023. The two starred together in the 25-year-old singer’s music video for “Please Please Please,” where she sings, “Heartbreak is one thing (heartbreak is one thing), my ego’s another (ego’s another)/I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherf**cker.” Their chemistry made them a fan-favorite couple, but despite their on-and-off romance, it wasn’t until late 2024 that reports revealed they were no longer together.

According to Page Six, Deuxmoi, an anonymous message stated, “I snooped around a bit out of curiosity and apparently he and his pop star girlfriend called it quits very suddenly less than a week before her final shows in LA after she found out he had been chatting with said influencer behind her back for months in a not-innocent-at-all way.”

To learn more about Barry and Sabrina’s relationship, Hollywood Life has gathered some details. Keep reading below.

Why Did Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan Split?

While neither Barry nor Sabrina has publicly commented on the reasons for their breakup, a source who spoke with People on December 3, 2024, shared that “they are both young and career-focused, so they’ve decided to take a break.” Although no official statement has been made regarding the breakup’s cause, there have been rumors suggesting that Barry may have cheated on Sabrina.

Is Barry Keoghan Dating Someone Else?

Rumors have circulated that Los Angeles influencer Breckie Hill may have been involved in the breakup. Yahoo Entertainment reported that the influencer has been reposting posts about Barry and Sabrina’s split, fueling speculation. Despite the rumors, no official relationship between Barry and Breckie has been confirmed.

Barry seemingly broke his silence on the rumors by deactivating his Instagram account and addressing fans in an X post on December 7, 2024.

“I can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don’t respond [to],” the Masters of the Air alum tweeted. “I have to respond now because it’s gettin to a place where there are too many lines being crossed. I deactivated my account because I can no longer let this stuff distract from my family and my work. The messages I have received no person should ever have to read them. Absolute lies, hatred, disgusting commentary about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and every other inhumane thing you can imagine.”

Barry also accused a person of stalking his family by “knocking on my granny’s door” and “sitting outside my baby boy’s house intimidating them.”

“That’s crossing a line,” Barry added. “Each and every day, I work harder to push myself on every level to be the healthiest and strongest person for that boy. I want to provide opportunities for him to learn, fail and grow. I want him to be able to look up to his daddy, to have full trust in me and know I will have his back no matter what. “I need you to remember he has to read ALL of this about his father when he is older. Please be respectful to all.”
