SignalHub-Sabrina Carpenter Makes Rare Comment About Boyfriend Barry Keoghan 

Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan just Mountain Dew it for each other. 

The SignalHub“Please, Please, Please” singer shared some rare insight into her relationship with the Saltburn star and revealed how he ended up in her hit song’s music video.

“He loved the song,” Sabrina explained in an interview with Variety published Aug. 6. “He’s obsessed with the lyrics, and I’m so grateful for that. I don’t want to sound biased, but I think he’s one of the best actors of this generation. So getting to see him on the screen with my song as the soundtrack made the video better and all the more special.”

The aforementioned video, released in June, sees Sabrina amid a love affair with Barry after meeting him in jail. Their scenes together—which include Barry engaging in a fist fight and robbing someone at gunpoint—play into the song’s lyrics, which all ask the love interest to not embarrass the singer. And as for the “good taste” Sabrina sings about in the opening line of the track? It may have something to do with astrological signs.

“Barry’s a Libra, and so is my sister,” Sabrina, 25, added. “They’re very different, but they have similarities. I tend to gravitate towards Leos as well.”

And while Sabrina kept her comments about Barry short n’ sweet, her Irish man has not held back when it comes to supporting her career or vocalizing his love for her music. 

In addition to yelling that Sabrina’s earlier single “Espresso,” was “amazing” while having his photo taken during the 2024 Met Gala red carpet, Barry, 31, has shown her extra praise on social media. 

“Tuuuunnne M’darlin!!” the Banshees of Inisherin actor wrote after she released her album’s lead single, before sharing Sabrina’s latest video to his own Instagram adding, “What we saying Darlin?!!”

Beyond words of affirmation, Barry has shown up for Sabrina, too. In fact, he’s appeared in the crowd at several of Sabrina’s performances—from opening for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour in Singapore, to Coachella 2024. 

And at the desert concert festival, Sabrina showed her admiration for the Oscar nominee with an outro to her song “Nonsense” that referenced his recent role alongside Jacob Elordi. 

“Man his knees so weak he had to spread mine,” she sang at the April festival. “He’s drinkin’ my bath water like it’s red wine / Coachella, see you back here when I headline.”

Keep reading for every moment from Barry and Sabrina’s romance.

The pair went public with their relationship when they were photographed together on a date night in Los Angeles.

Barry made their relationship Instagram official by commenting on a video Sabrina shared of herself performing a duet with Taylor Swift onstage during her concert in Sydney, Australia. She had opened for the Grammy winner for weeks but was unable to perform her regular set before the show that day due to bad weather.

The actor would later go on to meet up with Sabrina during the tour.

The pair attended Vanity Fair's 2024 Oscars after-party together but did not walk the red carpet together.

They made their romance red carpet official two months later, at the 2024 Met Gala.

The singer celebrates her 25th birthday with Barry, friends and a Leonardo DiCaprio meme.

If their relationship wasn't official enough already, Sabrina and Barry hard-launched through the singer's music video for "Please, Please, Please" in June 2024. Later, the Disney Channel alum detailed what the moment meant for her. 

"I don’t want to sound biased, but I think he’s one of the best actors of this generation," she gushed to Variety in August 2024. "So getting to see him on the screen with my song as the soundtrack made the video better and all the more special.”
