Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter have broken up, sources told People magazine, calling it quits after dating for roughly one year. “They are both young and career-focused, so they’ve decided to take a break,” a source told the magazine. Keoghan, the 32-year-old Oscar-nominated Irish actor who starred in Saltburn, reportedly began dating Carpenter, 25, late in 2023. The couple were not photographed together at a major event until the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in March. They showed up separately to walk the red carpet at this year’s Met Gala, but eventually did pose for photos together before entering the A-list event in New York City. Keoghan spent the year supporting Carpenter as her star rose rapidly following the release of “Espresso.” He was spotted in the audience filming her set at Coachella, and even starred opposite Carpenter in the music video for “Please Please Please,” the second single from her then-highly anticipated album Short n’ Sweet.
