Barry Keoghan Explains Why He “Disappeared” Amid Sabrina Carpenter Cheating Rumors
Please, please, please leave Barry Keoghan alone.
Nearly two years after the Banshees of Inisherin actor and Sabrina Carpenter broke up amid rumors he cheated on the Grammy winner, he addressed the speculation and subsequent backlash.
“I have been avoiding stuff,” Barry said during an April 28 episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast. “I came off Instagram and social profiles. I stopped going to events. I stopped socializing.”
And while the 33-year-old—who shares a 3-year-old son with ex Alyson Sandro—did not mention the “House Tour” singer by name, he repeatedly referred to an old “narrative” about him, nodding to the backlash surrounding him following their breakup in December 2024.
“A narrative that’s not true that I’ve never said anything about it,” Barry continued. “I just disappeared.”
Admitting that speculation around any celebrity relationship often “gets amplified,” he slammed the way people treated him after his and Sabrina’s year-long relationship came to an end.
