While we’ve known Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan have been seeing each other for a while, the pair have just hard-launched their relationship in the best way possible: via the pop star’s new music video, ‘Please Please Please’.
The video, a follow up to her single ‘Espresso’ which will both feature on Sabrina’s new album Short n Sweet, sees the Saltburn actor repeatedly being arrested for robbing banks and fighting people with Sabrina continuously going to jail to collect him on release.
It ends with the singer, 25, handcuffing Barry, 31, to a chair and taping over his mouth. The song contains the lyrics: “Heartbreak is one thing / my ego’s another. I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherf***er / Please, please, please.” Could Sabrina be sending her boyfriend a warning, perhaps?
The Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan dating rumours started way back in December 2023. Since, fans have had their suspicions all-but confirmed with public dinner dates, a picture at an Oscars afterparty, and some flirty Instagram commentary. But it wasn’t until May this year that the couple made their official first red carpet appearance – at none other than the Met Gala 2024.
Both Barry and Sabrina arrived together at the event, posing separately on the carpet before coming together at the top of the famous steps for a photo op – with Sabrina in a cloud-like Oscar De La Renta gown, and Barry in a custom Burberry suit complete with a top hat.
The singer and actor have also been seen running errands together over previous months, and Barry was also in attendance at three of Carpenter’s Eras tour dates, where she supported Taylor Swift. Neither Sabrina nor Barry have commented on their relationship status, still – but their cover-the-mouth poses seem to be the unspoken symbol of their coupledom (as demonstrated in their Met Gala and Oscars afterparty photos).
Here’s what we know about the pair’s romance, so far…
