Barry Keoghan on Why He Deleted Instagram After Sabrina Carpenter Split
It’s official—Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan have gone their separate ways. Fans had speculated about the couple’s status for weeks, and sources confirmed their breakup happened within the past month, citing demanding schedules and physical distance as the main reasons.
The pair, who started dating in late 2023 after meeting at a Paris fashion event, had quickly become a beloved duo in the entertainment world. They made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala in May 2024, shortly after Barry was spotted at Sabrina’s Coachella set. Their chemistry even extended to Sabrina’s music video for “Please Please Please,” where Barry starred in a highly praised performance.
However, it seems the fast-paced nature of their individual careers became too much for the relationship to handle. A source close to the couple revealed, “Sabrina’s career is on fire right now. Between her tour and Netflix projects, she’s being pulled in so many directions. It left little room for her to commit fully to a relationship.”
Barry, 32, has also had an incredibly busy year. With multiple film projects, including Bird, Hurry Up Tomorrow, and a Peaky Blinders movie, as well as his responsibilities as a father to his two-year-old son, he faced his own challenges balancing time for a relationship. “Barry was very faithful and supportive, but their schedules just weren’t aligning,” another insider explained.
Despite the split, both Sabrina and Barry have chosen to remain amicable. “It wasn’t a contentious breakup,” a second source noted. “They respect each other and mutually agreed that the relationship wasn’t working under the circumstances.”
Fans of the Espresso singer and the Saltburn actor may be disappointed, but the decision seems to stem from a place of mutual understanding. “They’re just at different points in their lives,” another insider added. While Sabrina is focusing on her skyrocketing music career, Barry is equally committed to his acting roles and fatherhood.
Although the relationship didn’t last, both stars have plenty to celebrate professionally. Sabrina has wrapped up her U.S. tour and is gearing up for her Netflix holiday special, while Barry continues to balance his busy film schedule with family time.
As the two move forward separately, it’s clear they still hold respect and admiration for one another. While fans might miss seeing them together, this chapter highlights the challenges of balancing love and life in the spotlight.
