‘Please Please Please’ singer Sabrina Carpenter and Saltburn star Barry Keoghan started dating at the end of last year but according to recent reports they broke up after Sabrina called time on their relationship.

According to gossip blog DeuxMoi, an anonymous source claimed earlier in August the couple have broken up, something they’re unlikely to ever confirm themselves after keeping their relationship low-key for the past year.

However, Barry has appeared to address the speculation by not only liking one of Sabrina’s recent Instagram posts but commenting on posts relating to her and resharing her post, adding that 'Bed Chem' is his favourite 'Short N' Sweet' track.

As the internet goes into overdrive over the fact Hollywood’s hottest couple may or may not have broken up – here’s what we know.

Did Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan really breakup?

It looks like Sabrina and Barry are still together, despite reports from DeuxMoi on 16th August that they'd split. As her new album 'Short n' Sweet' came out, fans noticed Sabrina had changed her thumbnail for the 'Please Please Please' music video to include Barry, which could have been a subtle confirmation they're still together.

It comes after DeuxMois shared a simple statement from an anonymous source last week claiming they'd broken up. However, a source later told PEOPLE that the couple’s relationship is “on and off” in general.

A source also told the tabloids Sabrina ended things because she was ‘fed up of his party lifestyle’ and wanted to put herself first as she prepares for her tour.

After news of their apparent split surfaced, Barry seemed to respond by liking his girlfriend’s Instagram post in which she posed in blue lingerie.

Also, underneath a Bratz post which was a recreation of Sabrina and Jenna Ortega from the 'Taste' music video, Barry commented 'Can I have want one?'. He has also shared Sabrina's announcement of her surprise bonus song 'Busy Woman' and he wrote: 'BED CHEM my fave just sayin m'darlin @sabrinacarpenter.'

Barry's also only following one person on Instagram, any guesses who? That's right, Sabrina. So, as it stands, it looks like the couple are still very much together, or are at least on positive terms.

It comes after Sabrina opened up about her love life to Rolling Stone in June. When asked if she calls Barry her boyfriend she said: “How do I skirt around this question?"

She added: "The [dating] pool is the pool, and when you meet people that feel authentic and are so brilliant and amazing in every way, that’s what you do. Obviously, I write songs about exactly how I feel, so I guess I can’t be so surprised that people are interested in who and what those songs are about. That’s something that comes with the territory.”

Barry starred in Sabrina’s music video for ‘Please Please Please’ earlier this summer, in which she sings about begging her partner not to make a scene.

It came after they made a few public appearances together, one being at the Met Gala where they posed for photos together.

Their first public appearance was at an awards after party with W Magazine in February, where they were pictured looking super cosy.
