2023 was truly the year of the 'it' couples. From Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s NFL love story to Rosalía and Jeremy Allen White’s PDA parade, last year was practically a matchmaker’s dream. And jumping on the bandwagon were Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan, whose electric chemistry- as was seen this year in their ‘Please Please Please’ collaboration- had fans completely hooked. Now, after months of whispers, sneaky outings, and subtle hints, fans are finally getting a glimpse of the truth about this couple. 

Barry Keoghan recently shared his thoughts on Sabrina Carpenter- and immediately regretted saying too much.

Barry Keoghan recently addressed the dating rumors of him and Sabrina Carpenter during an appearance on Spotify's The Louis Theroux Podcast. When asked if he is really dating the ‘Espresso’ sensation, the actor, instead of confirming or denying anything, decided to shower Carpenter with some loved-up praise. “Listen, all I'm going to say is I'm incredibly blessed," said the 32-year-old. He went on to describe the singer as “a strong, independent lady who’s massively talented.” 

Midway through his comment, Keoghan seemed to realize he might have accidentally spilled the beans on what the host was fishing for and chuckled, “Louis, you got me.” Back in August, a source told PEOPLE that their relationship is “on and off,” but the two have always spoken highly of each other whenever asked in interviews. Nonetheless, while the rumors really gained traction in June of this year, it has been brewing for quite some time.

Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan have been in the middle of these speculations for almost a year. 

Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan were first linked in December 2023, after the pop star's breakup with singer Shawn Mendes, and the Saltburn actor's split from girlfriend Alyson Sandro, with whom he shares a baby son, Brando. They were seen getting dinner together in Los Angeles. However, fans only started taking the rumors to heart after the release of the popular music video for 'Please Please Please.'

Since then, the couple has been spotted at several events together, including their Met Gala appearance, where they posed together. Carpenter and Keoghan were also seen hanging out with the town’s most talked-about couple, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. They made their first public appearance as a couple at the Grammys after-party. While Carpenter walked the red carpet solo at the awards ceremony, she was later seen partying with Keoghan. And no matter how much Keoghan tries to keep things mysterious, fans are definitely rooting for this pair.
