Did Barry Keoghan cheat on Sabrina Carpenter?
After Sabrina and Barry’s breakup was announced, rumors circulated that Keoghan may have cheated, especially after he was seen with social media influencer Breckie Hill.
On November 18, Hill shared Snapchat videos from BOA Steakhouse while Carpenter performed in Los Angeles. She shared at the time,
“I gave the margarita a six out of 10 because I said it was too salty. Someone I guess took that the wrong way and thought I was making a Saltburn reference after finding out that Barry was staying at a hotel near BOA,”
However, sources close to him clarified that he was “very faithful and loyal” to Carpenter throughout their relationship.
Similarly, Breckie denied being responsible for the breakup between Keoghan and Carpenter, stating that she is not a “homewrecker.”
In a TikTok video posted on December 7, she clarified,
“To put it simply for you all, no, I did not get with Barry. I have never even encountered this man in my life. The only time I’ve seen him is on my TV screen from watching Saltburn. Addressing everything.”
Hill noted that her review of the “Blackberry Smash” cocktail from BOA was not connected to any actor named Barry.
She explained that she was reviewing a drink called “Blackberry Smash,” which led someone to mistakenly believe it was a reference to Barry.
Initially, she shared the rumors on Snapchat because she found them “so ridiculous.” Hill expressed her disbelief by stating,
“I’m sorry but if I really was the one getting with Barry, why in the world would I be reposting about it? … Coming from someone who has been cheated on… I would never want to homewreck any relationship or put any girl through that pain — ever.”
Furthermore, Sabrina spoke about her breakup with Barry during a recent interview.
She dismissed rumors of infidelity as “hurtful” and “completely false,” acknowledging that such speculation made an already difficult situation even harder for her to handle.
The 25-year-old American pop star said,
“It’s challenging when personal issues become public fodder. There are two people in a relationship, and only they truly understand what went on,”
