Sabrina Carpenter comments on dating for the first time after Barry Keoghan split

Sabrina Carpenter has made her first comments about relationships since splitting from Barry Keoghan.

The 25-year-old singer took the stage Tuesday night during Jack Antonoff’s annual talent show The Ally Coalition at the NYU Skirball Theater.

She surprised the audience with her performance when she and her frequent collaborator performed their song Slim Pickins.

Addressing the audience, she said that she and Antonoff drew inspiration from the old saying ‘there are plenty of fish in the sea’ when writing the track.

The petite, blonde bombshell told the crowd that the phrase is a “fat lie, I think.”

It comes weeks after her split from Keoghan, 32, made headlines.

She and Keoghan were an item for about a year before their breakup was revealed in early December, with rumors quickly spreading that the actor had cheated with influencer Breckie Hill.

Barry broke his silence on the breakup after deactivating his Instagram following the speculation.

He responded to the “lies, hate” and “disgusting comments” via social media app X and explained why he quit Instagram.

‘I can only sit and bear so much. My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I wouldn’t normally respond to,” he wrote in a lengthy statement.

“I have to respond now because it’s reaching a point where too many lines are being crossed,” Keoghan claimed.

‘I have deactivated my account because I can no longer let things like this distract me from my family and my work. The messages I received: no one should ever read them.

“Absolute lies, hatred, disgusting comments about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and every other inhumane thing you can think of,” he wrote.

Barry complained that people on the Internet have “carried away my character and everything that I have worked very hard for and stand for.”

The couple was together for about a year before calling it quits earlier this month

The message continued, “Talking about how I was a heroine baby and how I grew up and got my sweet mother involved too. Knocking on my grandmother’s door.’

“It’s been a challenge for their relationship since she went on tour and has been away a lot,” a source said We weekly.

“Their schedules were wrong. All that time they spent apart, it was difficult to maintain a relationship while her career was exploding,” it added.

Barry said he is focused on fatherhood and added that he wants his two-year-old son Brando, from his previous relationship with Alyson Sandro Kierans, to be able to look up to him.

Meanwhile, amid the breakup, Sabrina has remained busy with her professional endeavors: She has been promoting her Me Espresso fragrance.
