Please, please, please—why do celebrity couples keep breaking up? One of the hottest couples of the year was Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan, who began dating in December 2023. The two starred together in the 25-year-old singer’s music video for “Please Please Please,” where she sings, “Heartbreak is one thing (heartbreak is one thing), my ego’s another (ego’s another)/I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherf**cker.” Their chemistry made them a fan-favorite couple, but despite their on-and-off romance, it wasn’t until late 2024 that reports revealed they were no longer together.
According to Page Six, Deuxmoi, an anonymous message stated, “I snooped around a bit out of curiosity and apparently he and his pop star girlfriend called it quits very suddenly less than a week before her final shows in LA after she found out he had been chatting with said influencer behind her back for months in a not-innocent-at-all way.”
