Sabrina Carpenter’s latest music video features her partner, actor Barry Keoghan, in a dramatic role. In “Please Please Please,” Keoghan plays a wayward character who continuously stirs up trouble, despite Carpenter’s desperate attempts to persuade him to abandon his life of crime. Their real-life relationship, which began under unconventional circumstances, seems to resonate with the video’s theme of tumult.
Keoghan’s role in the video marked a departure from his usual routine of supporting Carpenter’s music, such as her song “Espresso,” which he seemed to enjoy with great enthusiasm. Carpenter expressed her excitement about Keoghan’s involvement, praising his exceptional on-screen presence in an interview with Vogue. Despite recent rumors about their relationship status, their playful interactions on social media suggest that they might still be together.
Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan’s playful social media interactions suggest their relationship remains strong despite recent speculation
Their connection was first noted publicly in December 2023 when they were spotted together after a dinner date in Brentwood. Their initial meeting reportedly took place a few months earlier at Paris Fashion Week. By early 2024, they were seen sharing a kiss at the Luna Luna pop-up in Los Angeles, followed by a series of romantic outings including a night at Nobu and a morning goodbye at Carpenter’s home.
Keoghan’s support continued as he attended Carpenter’s performance during Taylor Swift’s Eras tour in Singapore, proudly sporting a friendship bracelet with her name. His presence at her Coachella performance, along with his enthusiastic promotion of her music, further fueled speculation about their relationship.
As Carpenter’s album Short n’ Sweet was released, it was revealed that Keoghan had inspired several tracks, reflecting the deep and ongoing nature of their bond. Despite breakup rumors, Keoghan’s continued public support and affectionate comments suggest their relationship may still be strong.
