Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan have reportedly split up — and fans are speculating about why things appear to have gone sour.
The couple never confirmed they were dating, but made multiple high-profile appearances together, including a party after the Grammy awards in February, Vanity Fair’s Oscars after-party in March, and the Met Gala in May.
Keoghan was even seen supporting Carpenter during her performance at Coachella, and he also appeared in the music video for “Please Please Please.”
Earlier this month reports suggested they had split up.
Here’s a complete timeline of the drama between Carpenter and Keoghan.
August 19: Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter have an ‘on and off’ relationship, People reports

In August, rumors swirled that Carpenter and Keoghan had parted ways, and an unnamed source told People that the pair had an “on-and-off” relationship.
But Keoghan dampened speculation after liking one of her Instagram photos about the release of her album “Short n’ Sweet.”

On December 3, People reported that the couple had separated after a year of dating, citing an unnamed source supposedly close to both celebs.
“They are both young and career-focused, so they’ve decided to take a break,” the source said.
The report did not have any detail about the reason for the breakup, or the rumors that Keoghan had cheated on the “Please Please Please” singer.

Fans were quick to speculate that there was a bigger reason behind the split. Many looked to Deux Moi, the blind-item gossip account, which had posted a report saying the “A-list singer who’s having her breakout year and her foreign boyfriend are done for good.” Many took this as a reference to Carpenter and Keoghan.
The post went on to suggest that Keoghan was cheating on Carpenter with a “blonde, semi-famous, LA based influencer (who’s particularly big on TikTok).”
Fans believe that Brekkie Hill, a content creator with 4.3 million followers on TikTok, is the other person involved.

In a December 7 video on TikTok, Hill said that she’d never met Keoghan.
“To put it simply for you all, no, I did not get with Barry. I have never even encountered this man in my life. The only time I’ve seen him is on my TV screen from watching ‘Saltburn,'” she said.
Fans noted that Hill had also reposted the rumors of Keoghan cheating on her Snapchat account, something she said she did because she thought they were “ridiculous.”
Hill added: “I’m sorry but if I really was the one getting with Barry, why in the world would I be reposting about it? … Coming from someone who has been cheated on … I would never want to homewreck any relationship or put any girl through that pain — ever.”
December 7: Keoghan deactivates his Instagram account and asks fans to stop “intimidating” his son

Keoghan deactivated his Instagram account on December 7, and indirectly addressed the situation in a statement on X.
He said he “can only sit and take so much. My name is being dragged across the internet in ways I usually don’t respond to.”
The actor said that he’d received abuse online that “no person should ever have to read” regarding his looks and parenting.
He also said people had been “knocking on my grannies door” and “sitting outside my baby boys house intimidating them.”
At the end of his statement, he asked fans: “Please be respectful to all.”
