Carpenter split from her ex-beau Keoghan in December, after just a year of dating. A source told People that the pair called it quits as 'they are both young and career-focused'. During their romance, the 32-year-old Dubliner appeared in the music video for her hit song 'Please Please Please', which is rumoured to be about their rocky relationship. The song includes lyrics such as 'I heard that you're an actor, so act like a stand-up guy', 'I tell them it's just your culture and everyone rolls their eyes' and 'I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherf**ker.' He inspired other tracks on her 2024 album Short 'n' Sweet such as 'Bed Chem'. "Bed Chem (is) my fav just sayin m'darlin @sabrinacarpenter,' he previously shared on Instagram. On the song, Sabrina sings: 'Who's the cute boy with the white jacket and the thick accent?' She also refers to the subject of the song as having 'wide, blue eyes' and being in a different time zone to her.
