Barry Keoghan breaks silence on allegations he cheated on Sabrina Carpenter

Barry Keoghan has opened up on allegations he cheated on Sabrina Carpenter.

The 33-year-old actor and the 26-year-old singer split in December 2024 following a year-long romance.

Following the allegations, the actor opened up on being relentlessly bullied online and subsequently his decision to quit social media.

“I can only sit and take so much,” Keoghan told hosts Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky, and Kristin Batalucco on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast on Tuesday (28 April).

"It's because there's a narrative out there that was never really even spoken on - a narrative that's not true, and I never confirmed or said anything about it.”

He said that having a relationship in the public eye can be challenging, as narratives can be “amplified”.
