Sabrina Carpenter and her beau, Barry Keoghan, are the newest couple in town. Their fans had been asking for a confirmation since last year, before finally, Carpenter opened up about her relationship. And now, fans are overjoyed, knowing that two of their favorite people are happily together and having fun.
While the couple had been spotted together since late 2023, it wasn’t until the pop-star made her Met Gala appearance this May and posed alongside Keoghan, that people finally had some kind of confirmation. But it wasn’t that easy to win over Carpenter, and the Saltburn actor had to figure it out for himself.
Sabrina Carpenter Had a Checklist For Her Boyfriend
Finding a person to be in a relationship can be tricky. And if you have a checklist of expectations, it can be harder. Sabrina Carpenter had that and more. Earlier this year, in a conversation with Cosmopolitan, the pop star spoke of her relationship and what she expects from her other half. Without revealing the name of her beau, she talked about how she was enjoying being in a relationship.
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.
She further added that she wasn’t willing to put her time and energy into a relationship that wasn’t going to feed her soul.
I want to be with someone who’s going to be one of my best friends. So a lot of it is energy and humor and being genuine. I will say I’ve always connected more with people who are really in touch with their emotions.
But given that the couple has been together for a while now, it is safe to say Barry Keoghan is being the perfect boyfriend for Sabrina Carpenter.
Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan’s Relationship is a Fun Mess
Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan have never really hidden their relationship from the public or the media, but at the same time, they didn’t think it necessary to confirm any news regarding the matter either. They have been spotted together multiple times, being cozy and sweet with each other and engaging in light PDA. In the same interview with Cosmo, the Espresso singer divulged a little about how her newfound relationship is, and revealed that she is enjoying all the new experiences.
It’s fun and it’s messy. I think I’m still just at this place where I’m really enjoying the newness of all of it.
The couple also sort of made their declaration with Carpenter’s Vogue shoot before the Met, where she shared with fans how she got ready for the 2024 Met. In the video, fans could see Keoghan when he enters her room and gives her a hug, along with a little kiss on the cheek. Whether they make an official statement or not, this couple is becoming our new favorite, and we absolutely love them for it.
