Barry Keoghan has broken his silence on rumors he cheated on ex Sabrina Carpenter, begging fans to quit the speculation. The Saltburn star vanished from social media and events to dodge the drama. Now he's spilling on a podcast why it all got so messy.
Barry Keoghan, 33, dated pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter, 26, back in 2023 and 2024. But lately, whispers of infidelity sent him into hiding. On the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, he dished: “I feel in a safe space to say this, but I have been avoiding stuff. I came off Instagram and social profiles. I've stopped going to events. I've stopped just socialising.” 😩 All because of “a narrative out there that was never really sort of even spoken on — a narrative that's not true.” Eyes emoji on that shady tea-spilling dodgeball. 👀 He shares a three-year-old son with ex Alyson Kierans, adding layers to his low-key era. Barry didn't hold back, pleading: “I'm not asking for people to become my fan and like me because that's not normal. I'm asking for people to stop assuming and also stop jumping on this narrative and attacking me and dragging me down in any way you can. I'm not saying this for pity. Why is it cool to hop on and beat someone up?” Fair question, right? Meanwhile, Sabrina spilled her type last year to Interview magazine: “I’m always really drawn to people that are super passionate. Obviously, conversation’s a huge thing for me because I don’t really shut up. But also someone who’s empathetic and good at reading a room and somewhat emotionally mature.” She quipped on height: “Short men are tall men to me, and tall men are just tall, tall men to me. It doesn’t really matter, as long as they ignite some sort of fire.” She's dated Barry and Shawn Mendes before. So, is Barry's plea the final word, or just more fuel for the fan frenzy?
