Sabrina Carpenter, 24, has broken her silence on her relationship with actor Barry Keoghan, 31, describing her love life as 'fun' and 'messy' in a new interview with Cosmopolitan. The pop star, who covers the magazine in a pink dress, spoke about enjoying the 'newness' of her blossoming romance.
Carpenter and Keoghan were first linked in December 2023, shortly after Keoghan's acclaimed performance in the film Saltburn. They confirmed their relationship at a Grammys party in February and were photographed together at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party this month.
In the interview, Carpenter said: 'A lot of it, for me, has been fate. I know that's super broad, but I don't actively look for it.' She added: 'The relationships that I actually want to put my energy into have to be so interesting or invigorating because they take me away from the other things I love.'
Keoghan previously split from his long-term partner Alyson Kierans, with whom he has a son named Brando. A source told The Sun that Keoghan's 'partying caused arguments' and the couple had 'grown apart.' Keoghan declined to discuss the split in detail, only saying Kierans 'did a great job and she's an incredible mother.'
Carpenter's dating life previously made headlines in 2020 amid rumours of a love triangle with Joshua Bassett and Olivia Rodrigo. Rodrigo's 2021 hit 'Driver's License' was widely interpreted as being about the situation, with lyrics referencing an older blonde woman.
