Sabrina Carpenter, 24 pulled back the curtain on her ‘fun’ and ‘messy’ love life – amid her steamy new romance with Barry Keoghan, 31.
The duo were first linked in December, as Barry catapulted to international heartthrob status for his smoldering performance in Saltburn.
They confirmed they were an item at a Grammys party in February, but both of them have refrained from discussing each other in public.
Now, however, the pop star has decided to break her silence, baring her soul about ‘enjoying the newness’ of her blossoming new relationship.
She spilled the beans to Cosmopolitan, covering the magazine in a slinky bubblegum pink dress that allowed her to show off her knockout legs.

Now, however, the 24-year-old pop star has decided to break her silence, baring her soul about ‘enjoying the newness’ of her blossoming new relationship
When it comes to dating, Sabrina said: ‘A lot of it, for me, has been fate. I know that’s super broad, but I don’t actively look for it.’
She added: ‘The relationships that I actually want to put my energy into have to be so interesting or invigorating because they take me away from the other things I love.’
In conclusion, she gushed: ‘So yeah, it’s fun and it’s messy. I think I’m still just at this place where I’m really enjoying the newness of all of it.’
For her glamorous new photo-shoot, Sabrina struck a string of poses whilst modeling a luxurious platinum blonde hairdo redolent of a 1970s pinup.
One of her sultry looks was a sparkly sequined top and a set of hot pants from Poster Girl, enabling her to show off her enviably taut midriff.
She could also be seen flaunting her shapely pins in a pink cocktail dress while kicking up her heels in a skyscraper’s window frame, drink in hand.
In one outfit certain to set heads turning, Sabrina modeled a tantalizingly skimpy red mini designed to look as though she had a pillow strapped to her front.
She also flashed the flesh in a picture that showed her climbing a set of stairs wearing nothing but skimpy lingerie under an open coat.

Sabrina was first linked to Barry last September, months before reports started swirling that he had split from his longtime girlfriend Alyson Kierans.
Alyson and Barry, who welcomed a son called Brando in August 2022, are thought to have broken up over the summer of last year.
A source told The Sun Barry’s ‘partying caused arguments’ between the pair, who had ‘grown apart over recent months and things have finally come to a head.’
When Barry was asked about the split in GQ early this year, he said only that Alyson had ‘done a great job and she’s an incredible mother.’
Sabrina, meanwhile, saw her dating life become a hot topic during the summer of 2020, when she was rumored to be in a love triangle with Joshua Bassett and his High School Musical: The Musical: The Series co-star Olivia Rodrigo.
The following year, Olivia poured fuel on the fire by releasing her runaway smash hit single Driver’s License, which was widely thought to be about Joshua and Sabrina.
‘And you’re probably with that blonde girl, who always made me doubt. She’s so much older than me,’ sang Olivia, who is nearly four years younger than Sabrina.
In the interim, Sabrina has at various stages been linked to such names as pop act Shawn Mendes, Teen Wolf actor Dylan O’Brien and YouTuber David Dobrik.
