With break up rumors circulating online, fans have been led to believe Barry cheated on the beloved Pop-Princess with OnlyFans and Tik Tok creator, Breckie Hill. After a week of rumors, Barry took to X to ask fans to stop with the hate messages and keep his son and family out of the rumors. He then deactivated his Instagram account where he was only following Sabrina (prior to deactivation). Sabrina has yet to comment on the split, but sources have said no third party was involved, rather the two wanted to take some time to themselves to "focus on their careers"? However, fans wonder what suddenly led to this decision after almost a year of dating? Could unfaithfulness be a factor?

The claim that Barry cheated on Sabrina Carpenter with Breckie Hill appears to be be misinformation. While it’s possible Barry could have cheated, Breckie Hill’s act of merely reposting a video implying her involvement seems misleading and might even be satire, as there’s no direct statement confirming the rumors. The original claim reportedly stems from Deuxmoi, an anonymous and unverified gossip source, making it difficult to trust its reliability. Furthermore, People Magazine’s coverage failed to obtain confirmation from the agencies involved, weakening the credibility of their report. Given that Barry and Sabrina's relationship has often been perceived as a PR stunt, it’s essential to approach any news about them with skepticism, particularly when the narratives seem designed to generate media attention without substantive proof.

Hi! I have seen this rumor spreading a lot as well, but there are many other things to consider. Breckie Hill just came out and claimed that she has been in the hospital dealing with a serious injury so she hasn't had time to deal with the rumors. Barry and Sabrina's relationship, though real, is very publicized so there could be some truth-bending when it comes to the reason of the breakup for publicity purposes. ELLE, a culture magazine, explained this: Their schedules were not aligning, and all the time apart made it difficult to maintain a connection.” A second source said the split was amicable. “They are cordial, and it was not contentious,” they stated."

I do not totally agree with this fact check- you mention Breckie Hill and the article did not touch on her at all so I’m wondering where you got that information? but other than that I like the article you referenced it contained a lot of information but I’m wondering who is Elle and are they a trustworthy media ? Do they specialize in this kind of news?

This claim is circulating across the internet and it is false. The rumor started from a gossip account called Deux Moi, which posted a report saying a singer and her boyfriend were over. The post included that the boyfriend was cheating with a blonde LA based influencer. However, nothing has ever been confirmed as it was only this one account that started the rumor. Brekkie Hill, the suspect woman Keoghan cheated with, also came forward and stated she has never even met Keoghan.

This fact check could be made stronger by citing which information came specifically from each source, but I liked how you included what the original source is (gossip account).

The claim appears to be based on misinformation. While it’s possible Barry could have cheated, Breckie Hill’s repost of a video suggesting her involvement seems more misleading, and could even be satirical, as there’s no direct confirmation to support the rumors. The original claim reportedly came from Deuxmoi, an anonymous gossip source, which makes it hard to assess its reliability. Moreover, People Magazine’s coverage lacked confirmation from the relevant parties, further diminishing the credibility of their report. Considering that Barry and Sabrina's relationship has frequently been seen as a publicity maneuver, it’s important to approach any news about them with caution, especially when the stories seem to be designed to generate media buzz without solid evidence.

I appreciate that you critique the source you cite here since it does speculate in its reporting. I also appreciate your advice to err on the side of caution here since the amount of media attention given is not matched by credible evidence or sourcing.

This claim of Barry Keoghan Cheating on Sabrina Carpenter with Only Fans Model Breckie Hill, is misinformation. There is no confirmation of the Infidelity, but just online speculation from fans or followers. Specifically, from Deuxmoi who is not a reliable source, just gossip and anonymous. Barry Keoghan posted a statement on his X account, with the title “Please be Respectful x” to stop spreading hate and lies about his family and son. Both Sabrina and Barry,  have not commented directly on the Infidelity rumors publicly. This rumour involving the Only Fans Model, was created from a repost on her Tik Tok account implying that it was her, but seemed like satire. Her content seems unserious, as Olivia Dunne posted a TikTok that states, "when her true colors are finally revealed in the national media'', speculated to be aimed at Breckie Hill for trying to get attention, from past feud. Breckie Hill released a statement, that she has never met Barry, and confirmed she was not involved as a third-party.
