- Career focus cited as the reason for split
- Fans react to unexpected breakup
Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan, a couple that captured the attention of fans and media alike, have decided to part ways after a year of dating. According to a source, "They are both young and career-focused, so they've decided to take a break." The news comes after the pair first ignited dating rumors in late 2023, culminating in their public debut at a high-profile Oscars afterparty in March. Keoghan, 32, and Carpenter, 25, have been prominent figures in each other's lives, with the Irish actor appearing in Carpenter's music video for her hit single "Please Please Please."
Career Priorities Lead to Breakup
The decision to end their relationship appears to stem from their shared dedication to their respective careers. Both Carpenter and Keoghan have been busy with various projects, with Carpenter recently releasing her album 'Short n’ Sweet' on August 23. Fans speculated that some tracks from the album, particularly "Bed Chem," were inspired by her relationship with Keoghan. Meanwhile, Keoghan has been equally active, appearing on Spotify's 'The Louis Theroux' Podcast where he praised Carpenter, calling her a "strong, independent lady who's massively talented."

The split has left fans in shock, as many took to social media to express their disbelief. The couple had been relatively private about their relationship but were often seen supporting each other's endeavors. Keoghan was spotted at Carpenter's Coachella performance in April, and he frequently commented on her Instagram posts. Their chemistry was evident in the "Please Please Please" music video, which Carpenter humorously described as casting the "greatest actor" who happened to be sitting next to her.
Despite the breakup, the admiration between the two stars remains strong. Keoghan recently expressed his pride in Carpenter's Grammy nominations, saying, "I'm really, really happy for her, honestly." This mutual respect and support suggest that while their romantic relationship has ended, their professional connection and friendship continue to thrive.
