Sabrina Carpenter just low-key addressed the breakup rumors with Barry Keoghan and while she didn’t drop names, her message was loud and clear.
In a new Rolling Stone interview published June 12, the “Manchild” singer, Sabrina Carpenter, lightly shut down the ongoing speculation surrounding her relationship and breakup with Barry Keoghan, months after breakup rumors started swirling. When asked about her relationship status, Sabrina didn’t offer a direct yes or no, she just rolled with a cool, “I’m doing the 25-year-old thing right now, whatever that means.”
The rumors first popped off six months ago when she and Barry Keoghan were reportedly done after nearly a year of dating. And though she didn’t name him (or anyone, for that matter), she made it pretty clear that she’s tired of the public dissecting her personal life like it’s a fan theory thread. “People underestimate how tricky it is to navigate being a young woman, having relationships, and then having a bunch of strangers have opinions on them,” Sabrina said, not holding back.
The breakup talk has lived rent-free online for months, but she’s not letting it mess with her vibe. “I’m immune and numb to a lot of it,” she admitted, reflecting on what it’s like to live under a microscope. “Surely, all of these people that are commenting, if they had the same microscope on their personal lives, I don’t think they’d be as eloquently spoken as me.” And she’s not wrong.
Sabrina’s been in the spotlight since she was a teen, and the dating rumors aren’t exactly new. Who could forget the Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett drama in 2021, when fans were convinced her track “driver’s license” was a not-so-subtle jab at Sabrina? Carpenter clapped back in her own way with her song “Skin,” dropping the lyric “Maybe blonde was the only rhyme,” which seemed like a direct reference to Olivia’s verse. But even that, Sabrina now says, wasn’t some master plan. “I didn’t really intentionally do that,” she shared.
That chaotic love triangle, she says, is firmly in the rearview. “I don’t think about it, ever,” she said about the drama between her, Bassett, and Rodrigo. And if you’re still hanging on to it? It might be time to move on, because Sabrina definitely has. “I’ve tried being brunette, and it didn’t look good on me,” she joked, “so this is what it is.” Classic Sabrina, playful, unbothered, and brutally self-aware.
Even though the breakup between Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan hasn’t been confirmed in black and white, her message is clear: she’s focusing on her own timeline, and your theories don’t define her. She’s not dodging anything, she’s just not subscribing to the “post-your-breakup-on-Instagram” energy. Relationships come and go, but for Sabrina, every one of them has shaped her into the artist she is now. “You might not see that in the moment, but you see it later,” she said, dropping the kind of wisdom you only get after dating in the public eye.
In the end, she’s navigating fame, love, and online chaos like a pro, and if anyone’s going to own their narrative, it’s Sabrina Carpenter.
