17th April - Barry shares a Instagram Story hinting at Sabrina
The cuteness between these two just doesn't stop. Last night (17th April) after deleting his entire Instagram feed, bar one collaboration post with Burberry, Barry took to his Instagram Stories and posted a picture that was a major hint at his relationship with Sabrina.
He posted a picture of an espresso and added the emoji of a queen with blonde hair. And as all Sabrina Carpenter fans will know her latest iconic track to be released last week was called 'Espresso'.
And then at the exact same time Sabrina also posted a picture of her own coffee on her Instagram Story, which just so happened to appear to be taken on the same white background as Barry's 👀.
Will never stop being obsessed with these two.
7th May, 2024
Um, hello? Sabrina and Barry just went red carpet official at the 2024 Met Gala, aka the hardest launch of all time, confirming they are indeed a couple with some sweet pics. We are in AWE.
7th June, 2024
Um, someone sound the NSFW alarm! Barry Keoghan just casually appeared in Sabrina Carpenter's music video for her new song 'Please, please, please.' In the video, his character continues to be arrested after robbing banks, while she continues to meet him when he's released from prison.
In the chorus, Sabrina sings, "Heartbreak is one thing / my ego’s another. I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherfucker / Please, please, please."
21st June, 2024
In an new interview with Vanity Fair, Sabrina responded to questions about what her lyrics are about - specifically her new single 'Please Please Please.'
"I try to not tell people what a song is explicitly about," she replied. "People don't always know what's going on inside the minds of anyone, let alone a young girl who's navigating love and a lot of things for the first time."
Love? For the first time? Adorable!
She also previously basically confirmed the song was about Barry, after commenting one of the lyrics - 'I heard that you’re an actor!' - on his Instagram post.
6th August 2024
During a cover interview with Variety, Sabrina touched on Barry's thoughts towards her music, in particular the song 'Please, Please, Please', which he starred in the music video of, and the lyrics of the song include Sabrina singing about dating an actor who is a problematic boyfriend.
But unsurprisingly Sabrina said Barry is a big fan of the song, "He loved the song. He’s obsessed with the lyrics, and I’m so grateful for that."
She also touched on Barry staring in the video, saying: "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.”
Cute!
19th August, 2024
Despite the singer recently speaking out about their relationship in interviews - and Barry appearing in the 'Please, Please, Please' music video, the pair are hit by split speculation. This, of course, could just be a rumour, but a source told The Sun, "She is soaring in the charts and is putting herself first as she gears up for her tour next month.”
However, Barry was also seen liking Sabrina's Instagram post over the weekend, while a source told PEOPLE their relationship had always been "on and off". The pair have since talked openly about each other, and been active on each other's social media posts, so looks like it was just a rumour.
