Are Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter Still Together? Relationship Updates Amid Split Report
Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter sparked relationship rumors after they were spotted out on an apparent date in January 2024, while then continued to spark speculation by making more public outings together. After split rumors first began to circulate in August 2024, fans are wondering if Sabrina and Barry and still together today.
Are Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter Dating?
Barry and Sabrina reportedly split in December 2024. “They are both young and career-focused, so they’ve decided to take a break,” a source told People. The news came about a year after the two were first spotted together in December 2023. Before People reported the news, fans began speculating about a breakup when they noticed that Barry wasn’t in attendance for Sabrina’s November concerts in California, despite also being spotted in Los Angeles while she was in town to perform.
After initially keeping quiet about their romance for months, Barry and Sabrina made their first red carpet appearance together at the Met Gala on May 6, 2024. The duo arrived at the event together and posed for photos separately before joining one another at the top of the steps for joint shots.
The two were first spotted out together at the beginning of December 2023, when photographers caught them heading to dinner together in Brentwood, California. There were no signs of PDA in the photos. However, the entertainers arrived at the restaurant together. This came after they first crossed paths at a Fashion Week event in September 2023, which Sabrina sang about in her June 2024 song “Bed Chem,” which features the lyrics, “I was in a sheer dress, the day that we met,” and, “Who’s the cute boy in the white jacket with the thick accent?” Yes, she was wearing a sheer dress at the fashion show, while he was in a white jacket.
On January 13, 2024, fans spotted Barry and Sabrina at Luna Luna in Los Angeles. They both dressed down in black outfits for their night out at the interactive art museum.
“It definitely seemed like a date,” People reported, with an onlooker telling the magazine that Barry and Sabrina “shared a little kiss” while checking out the exhibits.
Barry later played coy when he was asked about the dating rumors while speaking to Vanity Fair in February 2024 about his movie Saltburn. “Look, I read all of that, and it obviously gets sent to me as well. But you gotta take it with a pinch,” he said about the online speculation. “It’s just the response to the movie that’s kicking a lot of stuff about.”
He added that he tries to “stay away from the internet because I want to kind of get back to some meditative stuff.” Barry continued, “By that I mean boxing or playing the PlayStation or going out on a walk, or stuff that involves me being present. You lose sight of that when you’re on the press tour. It’s about putting the phone down or whatever and taking time to yourself. Be nice to yourself.”
The pair went on to spark romance rumors when Barry traveled to Singapore to watch Sabrina open up for Taylor Swift on the Eras tour on March 2, 2024. One fan took to X to share a video of Barry watching Sabrina sing her hit song “Nonsense,” while he proudly cheered for her at the end of the performance.
Just more than one week after Barry went to the Eras tour, he and Sabrina attended the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars party together on March 10, 2024. After hitting the red carpet at the same time — but posing separately — the pair cuddled up for a photo together inside the event.
Barry seemingly paid tribute to Sabrina by wearing a friendship bracelet that was decorated with a heart charm and seemingly included her name spelled out in letter beads.
In April 2024, Barry was in the front row for Sabrina’s set at Coachella. He proudly danced along to her music and then they watched other acts perform together later in the evening. The singer even gave her man a subtle shout-out while singing her song “Nonsense,” which she concludes with a different outro at every concert.
Sabrina referenced the viral Saltburn scene where Barry’s character drinks bathwater that Jacob Elordi’s character had just masturbated in. “Man, his knees so weak he had to spread mine / He’s drinkin’ my bathwater like it’s red wine / Coachella, see you back here when I headline,” she sang.
Barry Keoghan Appeared In Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Please Please Please’ Music Video
The pop singer shared how serious they’d become when she dropped her music video for the single “Please Please Please” on June 7, 2024. Barry starred as a criminal who kept getting in trouble with the law, with Sabrina’s character always bailing him out as his loyal girlfriend. In the end, she was the one who put handcuffs on him instead of the police, while adding a piece of duct tape over his mouth and planting a sexy kiss on him.
Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan Split Rumors
Rumors that Sabrina and Barry split began to circulate in August 2024 when gossip account DeuxMoi shared a tip implying that the pair parted ways. However, neither Sabrina nor Barry ever commented on the report.
Barry went on to like a handful of Sabrina’s posts on Instagram, while he even commented on an Instagram post shared by Bratz that showed the company’s dolls dressed as Sabrina and Jenna Ortega in the “Taste” music video. “Can I have one?” he wrote.
Additionally, Sabrina hinted that they were still together while praising Barry’s acting in an interview with The Guardian published on August 23, 2024. While speaking to the outlet, she said that working on the “Please Please Please” music video was “one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.”
“I’m very honored and I got to work with such a great actor,” she continued about Barry.
Barry put the split rumors to rest by attending one of Sabrina’s concerts in October 2024, but People’s report about their actual breakup surfaced less than two months later.
Who Else Has Barry Keoghan Dated?
Before he was linked to Sabrina, Barry dated Alyson Sandro for more than two years. The exes met at a bar in London in February 2021. They confirmed their relationship by making their red carpet debut as a couple that October. In August 2022, Alyson gave birth to her and Barry’s son, Brando.
However, by July 2023, reports surfaced that Barry and Alyson had ended their relationship. The Saltburn star does not often talk about his personal life and did not publicly confirm the breakup rumors until January 2024. “She’s done a great job and she’s an incredible mother,” he told GQ.
When it came to fatherhood, the actor was a bit more loose-lipped. “I feel a responsibility,” he admitted. “I feel an enormous amount of pressure, which is good. And I can’t get the little boy off my mind. It’s beautiful. You know, it’s crazy, but when he looks at you, you feel like the most important person in the world. That’s the effect he has on me. He smiles at you and you’re like, ‘Wow, you’re smiling at me like that? I don’t deserve that.’”
Who Else Has Sabrina Carpenter Dated?
At the beginning of 2023, Sabrina was romantically linked to Shawn Mendes. They were first spotted together in February 2023, when a fan claimed to have seen them “on clearly a date” in Los Angeles.
After several more sightings in the weeks that followed, both singers attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March 2023. Although they skipped walking the red carpet together, they were seen chatting inside the star-studded event. However, just days later, Shawn insisted, “We are not dating.” The sightings of them together began to fizzle out after that.
Sabrina also dated Joshua Bassett, who she was first linked to during the summer of 2020. The pair’s relationship was thrust into the spotlight at the beginning of 2021 when Olivia Rodrigo released her song “Driver’s License,” which fans speculated was about Sabrina and Josh.
The hit song featured a lyric about a “blonde girl” who was “so much older than” Olivia. Sabrina is four years Olivia’s senior.
Just days after the release of “Driver’s License,” Sabrina added fuel to the rumors with her own song “Skin.” On the track, she sang, “Maybe you didn’t mean it. Maybe blonde was the only rhyme.” However, the Girl Meets World star insisted that people were “[making] a narrative out of nothing” with the speculation.
Although Sabrina and Josh were spotted together various times throughout 2021, they never confirmed that they were a couple. By the end of the year, both former Disney stars announced that they were single.
