Why Barry Keoghan “Disappeared” Amid Sabrina Carpenter Cheating Rumors

“I’m not asking people to become my fan or like me,” he continued, “but I’m asking people to stop assuming and to stop jumping on this narrative and attacking me and dragging me down in any way. Just absolutely disgusting, vile.”

Although he alluded to his and Sabrina’s time together—which began in late 2023—he emphasized that he “never” wants to “mention other people or involve them.”

And he has a simple explanation why.

“Even if it is those people that I was in a relationship with, it’s not my place or their place to speak on my or their behalf,” he continued. “It’s unfair to them. They’re also in the relationship. It’s both of us out there. I’m very aware of that.”

For Sabrina’s part, she’s similarly declined to speak through anything but her songs—and even then she won’t name real names. 

“I just wouldn’t say,” she told CBS Mornings of who her songs are about, noting that for her fans listening to her music, “It’s more fun to picture the person in their head than the person I picture in my head.” 

Their romance might be over, but there was a time when Sabrina liked this boy. Keep reading for a look back on their relationship…
