Last month, Sabrina discussed casting her real-life boyfriend and her on-screen love interest in her Please Please Please music video, which was released in June.
She told the hosts of it CBS Sunday morning That she relied on her “not even biased opinion” when she decided to have him play the “bad boy” of the music video.
“I was really – not even biased – like, ‘Who’s the best actor I can find for this music video?’ And he was sitting next to me in a chair,” she recalled.
“And he was so excited about it,” she said of Keoghan’s reaction.
The single, the second from her hit album Short n’ Sweet, is said to contain cheeky references to the Batman star.
When asked if the father-of-one is a fan of the record and the rest of her discography, the singer eagerly said he “really liked it.”
“Listen, all I’m saying is that I’m incredibly blessed. Such a strong, independent lady who is extremely talented and yeah,” Keoghan said, adding: “Pretty special”; the couple seen in May
“He likes the song, and that’s great. He’s a fan of the song,” the singer shared, adding that he “likes my music a lot, yeah.”
In August, the Don’t Smile singer spoke about her husband’s talent, calling him “one of the best actors of this generation.”
She told Variety: “I don’t want to sound biased, but I think he’s one of the best actors of this generation.
“So when I saw it on screen with my song as the soundtrack, it made the video better and all the more special.”
Days later, she told The Guardian that socializing with the Saltburn star in the video was “one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.”
“I’m very honored and I got to work with such an amazing actor,” she told the outlet.
Sabrina explained that she is careful about keeping her relationship private, but understands that publicity comes with the price of fame.
“It’s not what I signed up for, but I can’t really help with it when I was born,” she said.
“I want to be honest – I just want to write about what’s happening in my life as a 25-year-old girl,” she added.
