On Thursday, Sabrina Carpenter rocked a sexy attire in NYC despite her split with Barry Keoghan.
The 25-year-old "Espresso" singer joyfully sported a black and white faux fur short dress to shoot her "A Nonsense Christmas" holiday special at The Paris Theater. The blonde showed off toned legs in fuzzy open-toe shoes. She looked stunning with dark red lipstick and loose blonde hair for the night out, according to Daily Mail.
Barry worked on "Crime 101" in Los Angeles with his new blond hair early in the day. Us Weekly reported that the 32-year-old "Saltburn" star was "very devoted and committed" to the singer, despite rumors that he dated OnlyFans actress Breckie Hill.
On Tuesday, Barry was accused of cheating on Sabrina. The source told Us Weekly the celebrity was "very devoted to her happiness" but that they are "at different places in their lives." A source said it's been "challenging for their relationship since she started going on tour and has been gone a lot" and that "their schedules were not aligning."
The source continued, "all the time spent apart it was hard to maintain a relationship amid her career exploding." The source added that Sabrina was being "pulled in so many directions" and simply did not have time to "commit to a relationship." After reaching a "huge level of stardom" it's reportedly been tough for the songbird to "focus and to be present for him in a relationship."
The source added she "barely has time for herself let alone for a relationship." Another insider told the publication that the breakup happened within "the last month" because of their busy schedules.
The fact that they couldn't spend more time together "took a toll on the relationship." It was noted that there's no bad blood between the "cordial" pair, and their split was "not contentious." Both agreed it wasn't working, and both have been busy with work.
Sabrina finished her U.S. "Short 'N' Sweet" tour and is preparing for her Netflix holiday special debut on Friday. Meanwhile Barry's career also shows no signs of slowing down. He will appear in "Bird", "Hurry Up Tomorrow," "Amo Saddam," and "Peaky Blinders."
"Barry's very focused on his career and being a dad," a third insider told Us Weekly, referring to his 2-year-old son Brando from his previous relationship with Alyson Sandro. In addition to filming "Peaky Blinders," he was "balancing being with his son during his downtime."
Both fans and critics have utilized social media to express their views on the breakup, eliciting sentiments ranging from support to cynicism.
"Sabrina deserves someone who can match her energy. Barry's great, but they're on different paths," a netizen wrote.
"Barry being a dad and balancing Hollywood? Respect! Hope they both find happiness," another said.
"Sabrina looked stunning in NYC! Breakup or not, she's living her best life," a third fan said.
"Barry's career is exploding. Hard to blame either of them for putting work first!" a fourth person chimed in.
"Touring ruins so many relationships. Sabrina's schedule is wild, but she's killing it professionally!" another fan said.
"Can't wait for A Nonsense Christmas! Sabrina's breakup drama will only make the special sweeter," another wrote.
