Was it cheating? Was it a break, or was it something else? These are the questions swirling in the minds of fans concerned about the breakup between Sabrina Carpenter and her Irish ex-boyfriend, Barry Keoghan. The duo reportedly split last year, citing their busy schedules as the reason—but was that the whole truth? Recently, Carpenter visited Keoghan’s hometown of Dublin, where she took a cheeky shot at her ex. This playful jab seems to have caught the attention of Conor McGregor, who now has a message for the pop star.
“Dublin, it’s so lovely to be here. You all look and sound amazing,” the popular singer said during her ‘Short n’ Sweet’ tour stop performance in the Irish Capital. She seemingly took a cheeky dig at her ex, who hails from Summerhill, Dublin, “But my goodness, these Irish boys are hard work.” The couple dated each other for a year before parting ways in December last year, with rumors suggesting that Barry’s partying habits contributed to the breakup.
After Sabrina Carpenter’s comments, Conor McGregor has chimed into the controversy to play his part. Taking to his Instagram handle to share a picture of the singer in his story and captioned it with a long message that said, “Sabrina, our sweetheart, we are in the BlackForgedInn this evening. If you and your team wish for a nice meal and drinks after your big show, a proper Irish dining experience, I would love to look after you all. Hope you are enjoying Ireland.”
McGregor, has, in fact, spoken pleasantries about Barry Keoghan, too! At the 2023 BAFTA, Koeghan bagged the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in the Irish Dark Comedy ‘The Banshees of Inisherin.’ Congratulating him, ‘Mystic Mac’ wrote, “Congrats @BarryKeoghan on winning the Bafta with Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleesons Irish film “The Banshees of Inisherin” What a story this young man is having! Delighted for you mate, some pup. Onwards to Oscar!”
The Irish actor faced abuse when now-debunked rumors of him cheating flooded the internet, prompting him to temporarily delete his Instagram account. Keoghan then took to his X handle to fire back at the trolls, saying he could “only sit and take so much.” He further added, “My name has been dragged across the internet in ways that I don’t usually respond to. I have to respond now because it’s gettin [sic] to a place where there are too many lines being crossed.”
