Please, Please, Please tell me these Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan split rumors aren’t true. (Okay, realistically, I have no strong feelings about this romance, but I had to use the song title.) Did he get tired of that me espresso? Did she run out of Barry-themed “Nonsense” outros? I simply can’t believe an age gap relationship between a young pop star and an older actor is coming to end. I kid, I kid. As you may recall, Sabrina and Barry were first linked back in December 2023. They’ve since had date nights at the Met Gala and the Eras Tour, and Barry’s inspired new Sabrina music and starred in his GF’s “Please Please Please” music video as a hot criminal. It’s always been a questionable (where is his kid?) but iconic relationship. To be honest, I never expected it to end in marriage.

Did Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan really break up? Here’s my expert take on the split rumors.

Did Barry Keoghan And Sabrina Carpenter Break Up?

Sabrina Carpenter And Barry Keoghan’s Relationship Status Might Be Complicated

People reported on August 18 that Sabrina and Barry are “on and off.” Not to mention, during a June Rolling Stone interview, Sabrina was asked if she refers to Barry as her boyfriend, and she replied, “How do I skirt around this question? The pool is the pool, and when you meet people that feel authentic and are so brilliant and amazing in every way, that’s what you do.” She added, “Obviously, I write songs about exactly how I feel, so I guess I can’t be so surprised that people are interested in who and what those songs are about.” A pretty vague response, considering how public she and Barry have been with their romance.

DeuxMoi Reported That Sabrina Carpenter And Barry Keoghan Split

Obviously, DeuxMoi is not exactly known for being reliable, so take this report with a grain of salt. On August 16, the celeb gossip account posted an Instagram Story featuring a message they received about Sabrina and Barry. “Sabrina and Barry broke up,” the message from an anonymous source reads.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Recent TikTok Could’ve Been A Subtle Breakup Announcement

Sabrina also posted a TikTok a couple weeks ago that had fans thinking she and Barry might’ve broken up. In the July 29 video, which is set to “Please Please Please,” Sabrina blows a kiss to the camera, waves goodbye, and salutes during the “If you wanna go and be stupid / Don’t do it in front of me” part. She wrote in the TikTok: “Me saying goodbye to him bc I wasn’t his #1 streamed artist” and notably did not include a caption. Hmmm. It’s understandable why the Sabarry shippers were stressed.

Sabrina Carpenter’s New Song “Slimpickins” Could Be Another Breakup Hint

Again, this could be literally nothing. However, Sabrina’s recently been performing a new, unreleased song called “Slimpickins” at her shows. The song is about how terrible the dating pool is, and Sabrina croons in the first verse: “Guess I’ll end this life alone / I am not dramatic, these are just the thoughts that pass right through me.” Obviously, this song could’ve been (and probably was) written before she and Barry started dating… but ya never know. 

Hints That Barry Keoghan And Sabrina Carpenter Might Still Be Together

Sabrina and Barry are still following each other on IG, and Barry just left a flirty comment on Bratz’s post featuring the Bratz versions of Sabrina and Jenna Ortega in the “Taste” music video. “Can I have one?” the actor wrote. Plus, Sabrina recently revealed his cute reaction to “Please Please Please.”

If I had to guess, I’d say they’re “on” for now. But I’m keeping an eye on it, of course.
