Barry Keoghan appears to be putting to rest the swirling rumors about his relationship with Sabrina Carpenter. Speculation about a possible breakup between the actor and the pop star took off on Friday (August 16), thanks to a tip shared by the gossip account DeuxMoi. According to the anonymous source, the couple had allegedly called it quits.
But it seems Barry had something to say about that—without actually saying anything. Just hours after the rumor started making the rounds, Barry subtly hinted that the reports might be off base by liking one of Sabrina’s Instagram posts. This simple act was enough to get fans talking and questioning whether the couple had actually split or if they were still very much together.
Sabrina’s post that caught Barry’s attention wasn’t just any post; it was a special one. The singer had taken to Instagram to celebrate the upcoming release of her album Short n’ Sweet, marking the one-week countdown with her fans. Along with the excitement of the album’s release, Sabrina had some more good news—she announced that a limited edition vinyl with a bonus track titled “Needless to Say” was now available for pre-order.
“Officially 1 week until Short n’ Sweet!!! Made a limited edition bonus track vinyl just for you guys with a special song called ‘Needless to Say.’ Pre-order now while u can 💋,” Sabrina wrote in her post. And it was this very post that Barry decided to like, sending a subtle but clear message that he’s still engaged with what’s going on in Sabrina’s life.
Of course, the internet is always quick to speculate, and even with Barry’s apparent support, the question of whether they’re still together lingered. To add more fuel to the fire, an insider shared some details with People, stating that Barry and Sabrina are “on and off.” The comment suggests that while they might be going through a rocky patch, it’s not necessarily the end of the road for them as a couple.
This isn’t the first time the pair have kept things low-key when it comes to their relationship. Barry and Sabrina have always been private about their romance, choosing to keep most of their moments together away from the public eye. But like any couple in the spotlight, they can’t completely escape the prying eyes of fans and media.
