Well, that’s one way to shut down the rumors.

On Friday, Instagram gossip blog Deux Moi reposted an anonymous source who claimed that singer Sabrina Carpenter and Irish actor Barry Keoghan had broken up.

It is thought that the two first met at a fashion show last year, and they have been romantically linked since December.

Sabrina and Barry went public with their relationship in February, when they attended a Grammys afterparty together, and have gone from strength to strength ever since.

But fans feared that it was curtains for the couple when Deux Moi shared the unverified report last week, with a source later telling People that Sabrina and Barry’s relationship is generally “on and off.”

Neither Barry nor Sabrina have actively acknowledged the speculation, but they have both offered reassurance to their followers by sharing subtle signs that the rumor may not be true.

Soon after Deux Moi posted, Barry was seen pointedly liking Sabrina’s new Instagram post. She also remains the only person that Barry follows on Instagram. 

And Sabrina’s fans have since noticed a subtle change to her “Please Please Please” music video on her official YouTube channel.

Posting earlier this week, a dedicated Sabrina update account on X pointed out that the video’s thumbnail had been slightly tweaked — more than two months after it was first uploaded — and now features Barry in the background.

While both the original and the new thumbnail feature Sabrina wearing a red dress in the forefront of the shot, it has been changed so that Barry is undeniably visible behind her.

Sharing the before-and-after, the update account wrote: “The thumbnail for the “Please Please Please” music video by @SabrinaAnnLynn was slightly changed on Youtube,” and the post immediately went viral as people reacted to the timing.

One popular quote tweet, which has been liked more than 52,000 times, reads: “just to have barry in the thumbnail after all the breakup rumors i’m crying she’s hilarious.”

“She wanted yall to know they’re still together,” somebody else wrote

One more echoed: “She heard the rumors and was like no u don’t.”

Despite both Sabrina and Barry’s understated hints, Deux Moi doubled down on the claim that they have split on Tuesday.

During an Instagram story Q&A, the anonymous person behind the popular account was asked: “Sabrina and Barry’s break up, real or no?” to which they replied: “Going off what I heard- Real. But also because she’s about to go on tour so who knows if they’ll rekindle.”

Somebody else asked: “Did Sabrina end things w Barry or vice versa,” and they responded: “No idea but if I had to guess based off of what I heard she ended things with him.”

Needless to say, BuzzFeed has contacted Sabrina and Barry’s reps for comment — but their online activity suggests that Deux Moi may have missed the mark on this one.
