There have been numerous instances of celebrities caught up in cheating scandals and love triangles, even when their current partner is a renowned singer or A-list celebrity. While some manage to keep the true reasons for their breakups private, others have these details uncovered by fans, leading to widespread media attention.
Singer Sabrina Carpenter, known for her hit song “Espresso,” has reportedly taken a break from her year-long relationship with Irish actor Barry Keoghan. On 3rd December 2024 (Tuesday), PEOPLE published an article confirming their decision to part ways, citing their youth and career focus as the primary reasons. However, a twist emerged when American influencer and gymnast Olivia Paige Dunne posted a TikTok video hinting at the real reason behind the couple’s breakup.
In the TikTok post, Olivia, better known as Livvy, smiled to the camera while the caption, “When her true colours are revealed in the national media,” appeared on screen. The video had many speculating but Livvy later clarified the video was not meant to criticise Sabrina but alludes to someone else—the alleged third party in Sabrina and Barry’s relationship. This theory gained traction when fellow influencer Breckie Hill then responded to two TikTok videos suggesting she was the mysterious influencer Barry had been messaging. Internet users quickly latched onto this revelation, inundating Breckie with critical comments.
Following the online speculation, an unconfirmed report circulated earlier this week, suggesting the couple broke up after the actor cheated on Sabrina. The claims stemmed from Twitter and an anonymous source who claimed the couple had broken up weeks before their official statement was released. The allegations added fuel to the fire, as fans began dissecting timelines and speculating what really happened behind closed doors. To date, neither stars had addressed the anonymous post, leaving fans to piece together the story on their own.
The couple’s relationship have been the centre of public attention since December 2023, when they were spotted enjoying a cosy dinner in Los Angeles. However, there were rumours suggesting their connection began months earlier. Barry was also seen cheering on Sabrina at her Coachella performance this April and even appeared as her love interest in her “Please Please Please” music video released last June. What are your thoughts on these rumours?
