This weekend, Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan made it absolutely clear to two stadiums of people that their relationship is far from over. The Saltburn actor attended the singer’s Short n’ Sweet Tour concerts in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday and in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Sunday. During her Raleigh concert, Carpenter gave her rumored boyfriend a very flirty shout out while performing “Juno.”
Fans filmed her singing, “I hear you knocking, Barry, come on up.” The original line is “I hear you knocking, baby, come on up.”
They also captured his reaction to one suggestive part of the song during Carpenter’s Charlottesville show:
Members of the crowd filmed Keoghan fanning himself while listening to Carpenter singing “Bed Chem” in Charlottesville.
The song is strongly believed to be about his sexual chemistry with Carpenter. Keoghan only added fuel to that theory when he called it his favorite song from her album Short n’ Sweet. He tagged Carpenter in his Instagram Story and called her “m’darlin.”
The pair sparked breakup rumors in August, shortly before he posted that Instagram Story. A source told People at the time that their relationship was “on and off.”
Carpenter spoke about working with Keoghan on her music video “Please Please Please.” She told The Guardian that “I’m very honored and I got to work with such a great actor!” The outlet wrote she then mocked “her own coy diplomacy in a nasal voice,” repeating, “Such a great actor!”
Up until this weekend, Carpenter hadn’t offered much insight on her relationship status.
She told W magazine in September that she wasn’t really trying to put her love life up for public discussion. “I get why people are interested,” she acknowledged. “But they can listen to my album and decide for themselves what the songs are about.”
