Barry Keoghan has finally broken his silence on rumors that he cheated on Sabrina Carpenter.
“I feel in a safe space to say this … but I have been avoiding stuff,” the Irish actor admitted during Tuesday’s “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast with Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco, while talking about his split from the pop star.
“I have been like, you know, I came off Instagram … and social profiles. I’ve stopped going to events. I’ve stopped, you know, just socializing.”
Keoghan said his absence was prompted by a “not true” narrative that was out there, which he had “never really even spoken on” until now.
“I never confirmed or said anything about it. … I just disappeared,” the “Saltburn” star explained.
When Dicky (born David Burd) asked if infidelity was the “narrative” the actor was speaking about, he confirmed that those were indeed the rumors he was referencing.
“I don’t want to ever bring anyone else into it, but like, you know, unfortunately, having a relationship in the public eye, it’s — we all know this — you know, from our own stories,” Keoghan shared.
“It gets put out there and it’s like … it’s amplified.”
“It’s a hard one because I never want to speak on behalf of other people and also never want to mention other people or involve them.”
The “Batman” star said it’s not his place nor his ex’s place “to come forward and speak” on his behalf because he feels like it’s “unfair to them.”
“They’re also in a relationship. It’s also both of us being out there for like … so I’m very aware of that,” he concluded.
Carpenter, 26, and Keoghan, 33, were first romantically linked in December 2023 after they were spotted on a dinner date in Los Angeles.
The pair seemingly confirmed their romance one month later after an eyewitness saw them sharing a “little kiss” while visiting an interactive museum in LA.
In December 2024, Page Six confirmed that the “Please Please Please” singer and the “Banshees of Inisherin” actor called it quits.
Rumors then surfaced that Keoghan allegedly cheated on Carpenter with an influencer named Breckie Hill, which prompted the Oscar nominee to deactivate his Instagram account due to all the backlash.
Hill shot down allegations that she ever hooked up with the “Crime 101” actor, claiming they had never even met in real life and she had only just seen him on TV.
Keoghan shares a 3-year-old son, Brando, with his ex-girlfriend Alyson Sandro.
