Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan have reportedly "taken a break" from their relationship after a year of dating, here's why.

After a year of dating, 'Espresso' singer Sabrina Carpenter, 25, and 'Saltburn' actor Barry Keoghan, 32, have reportedly "taken a break" from their relationship.

Since they went public with their relationship, there have been multiple rumours of them breaking up. However, the speculation has often been proved wrong. The pair were first romantically linked to one another when they were spotted grabbing dinner together in LA last December (2023).

Sabrina and Barry initially crossed paths at a Givenchy show during Paris Fashion Week in September 2023. Sabrina actually cites meeting Barry in her 'Bed Chem' lyrics where she describes what they were wearing.

But now, after a year of red carpet appearances and Barry supporting Sabrina at her shows, the couple appear to have parted ways. Here's why.

Why did Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan breakup?

According to a People source, Sabrina and Barry have ended their romantic relationship. They said: "They are both young and career-focused, so they've decided to take a break."

However, the publication did report that neither of Sabrina or Barry's representatives have commented on the claim. This news comes during Sabrina Carpenter's 'Short n' Sweet' tour, which Barry has been spotted at. Barry has also been spotted filming for an upcoming project in LA.

Back in August, celebrity gossip and news page DeuxMoi reported the couple had split but a source later told People that the couple’s relationship was "on and off" in general.

Just a day before this news broke, a blind item accusing Barry of having an affair with a "blonde influencer" went viral online. Neither Barry or Sabrina have addressed it and blind items remain unconfirmed as they are submitted anonymously.

Internet sleuths have been suggesting it's a girl called 'Breckie Hill' after she reposted several TikToks surrounding the matter.

Last month, when Barry appeared on 'The Louis Theroux Podcast', he was asked about his romance with Sabrina to which he said: "All I’m going to say is I’m incredibly blessed. [Sabrina is] such a strong, independent lady who’s massively talented. And, yeah. Pretty special."

He jokingly finished with: “Louis, you got me!”
