Sabrina Carpenter is still leaving quite an impression — “five feet to be exact” — on Barry Keoghan amid ongoing breakup rumors about them.
After the “Taste” singer, 25, announced surprise song “Busy Woman” on Thursday, Aug. 29, to thank fans for showing love to her recently released Short n’ Sweet album, the Saltburn actor hyped her up on Instagram.
“Lets f—in go!! 🔥🥵,” Keoghan, 31, replied to her Instagram post, while on his Instagram Stories, he revealed his favorite song from her new album. “[‘Bed Chem’ is] my fave just sayin m’darlin @sabrinacarpenter.”
The online interaction comes just 10 days after a source exclusively told PEOPLE on Aug. 19 that the relationship between Carpenter and Keoghan is “on and off.” Three days before that, on Aug. 16, Keoghan also seemingly responded to the breakup rumors by liking the “Espresso” singer’s flirty Instagram post, which showed her in baby blue lingerie.
The pair initially sparked romance speculation in December 2023 when they were spotted on a dinner date in Los Angeles, just three months after they met at Paris Fashion Week in September.
In June, their relationship seemed in full swing, with Keoghan even starring in Carpenter’s steamy “Please Please Please” music video, in which she handcuffs him to a chair, tapes his mouth shut and plants a lipstick-filled kiss on him with the tape blocking their lips from touching.
The video helped propel “Please Please Please” to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, becoming Carpenter’s first chart-topper.
Keoghan’s role in the music video followed them cozying up at a Grammys afterparty in February, making their red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in March and joining forces at the Met Gala in May.
Keoghan also supported Carpenter when she opened for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Singapore in March.
Carpenter’s “Busy Woman” is available to download for a limited time.
