Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan take a break after dating for a year | Hollywood

Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan have split up after all. After much speculation about the couple, who began dating about a year ago, the young stars have reportedly gone their separate ways.

On Dec. 3, a source told PEOPLE that the “Espresso” hitmaker and the Saltburn actor, who also teamed up for his “Please Please Please” music video in June, “have decided to take a break.” Without elaborating further, the insider attributed the reason for their split to them being “young and career-oriented.” Additionally, Page Six supported the claims, reporting that an insider told the tabloid that the breakup happened “recently.”

This isn’t the first time Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan have been in the news about their breakup

Carpenter and Keoghan (or their representatives) have yet to respond to these new reports, which come four months after the celebrities were first involved in breakup rumors. PEOPLE also previously noted that the couple’s relationship is “one and two.”

The 25-year-old pop star and the 32-year-old Hollywood actor sparked romance rumors in early December 2023 after they were pictured dining together in Los Angeles. A month later, they seemingly confirmed their relationship when they were seen packing on the PDA with a “little kiss” during a museum visit in LA.

Sabrina and Barry have apparently been public about their romance at the time

The pair even went viral in April as the “Barbie and Ken” duo after the Saltburn star attended his then-girlfriend’s Coachella set earlier that year. Their relevancy reached a new level in June when the then-couple teamed up for the Grammy nominee’s “Please Please Please” music video.

The visibly supportive (reported) ex-partners have received receipts in their favor on social media, publicly expressing their love and support at the time. Keoghan, in particular, was often caught leaving heartwarming comments on Carpenter’s Instagram posts. Keoghan was also there to cheer on Carpenter during her rehearsals for her performance at the 2024 MTV Music Video Awards.

Aside from being romantically linked to Keoghan, Carpenter’s name previously made headlines along with Joshua Bassett and Shawn Mendes. The Irish actor has a two-year-old son, Brando, with his ex Alyson Sandro.
