Sabrina Carpenter had an awkward run-in with ex Barry Keoghan a t the 2025 Met Gala on Monday - one year after they first confirmed their romance at the same event. The Espresso hitmaker, 25, showed her 32-year-old actor ex what he was missing as she ditched her trousers to wow in a custom Louis Vuitton bodysuit. The star flashed her legs in the burgundy tuxedo-inspired bodysuit with a sweeping train, while sporting her signature bouffant locks and heavy contour. Oscar nominee Keoghan opted for a Valentino black suit with dramatic red sash and bejeweled sleeves and collar as he reunited with his former flame, five months after their break-up. Barry was hit by the claims he cheated on the hitmaker after it was reported that the pair had split after a year of dating last year. However, the source told Us Weekly the actor was 'very devoted to her happiness', but that they are 'at different places in their lives.' Sabrina Carpenter had an awkward run-in with ex Barry Keoghan a t the 2025 Met Gala on Monday - one year after they first confirmed their romance at the same event The insider further divulged that it's been 'challenging for their relationship since she started going on tour and has been gone a lot' and that 'their schedules were not aligning.' 'All the time spent apart it was hard to maintain a relationship amid her career exploding.' The source added that Sabrina was being 'pulled in so many directions' and simply did not have time to 'commit to a relationship.' After reaching a 'huge level of stardom' it's reportedly been tough for the songbird to 'focus and to be present for him in a relationship.' The source added she 'barely has time for herself let alone for a relationship.' Another insider told the publication that the breakup happened within 'the last month' because of their busy schedules. The fact that they weren't able to spend more time together 'took a toll on the relationship.' It was noted that there's no bad blood between the 'cordial' pair and their split was 'not contentious.' 'Both agreed it wasn't working.' The two have indeed been busy with their careers. Sabrina recently completed the U.S. leg of her Short 'N' Sweet tour, and is now gearing up for the release of her Netflix holiday special on Friday. Meanwhile Keoghan's career also shows no signs of slowing down. He has roles in the forthcoming projects: Bird, Hurry Up Tomorrow, Amo Saddam and a Peaky Blinders film as well as the Beatles upcoming biopics, in which he will play Ringo Starr. 'Barry's very focused on his career and being a dad,' a third source shared with Us Weekly, in reference to his son. The source added that while he was filming Peaky Blinders, he was also 'balancing being with his son during his downtime.' Fashion's biggest night out kicked off with plenty of glamour and glitz on Monday, May 5th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Sadie Sink arrived in a dramatic black lace look, with her signature rock locks pulled back into a chic updo. Gigi Hadid glittered in a gold halter dress, complete with ruching along her waist. Teyana Taylor made a dramatic arrival in a burgundy and black suit and cape, complete with a feathered hat. Sydney Sweeney donned a figure-hugging sparkling black dress, featuring a large cut-out detail over her chest. The busty blonde's frock had a statement silver brooch along the neckline and textured short sleeves. The Euphoria actress wore her golden locks in an updo with several strands styled over her forehead. Meanwhile, Zuri Hall and Emma Chamberlain both opted for pinstripe dresses. The annual invite-only event has a theme each year, with this year's theme as 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' inspired by Monica Miller's work, which includes her book Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. Monica is the chair of Africana Studies at Barnard College, as well as a professor at the institute. According to Monica, Black dandyism is 'a strategy and a tool to rethink identity, to reimagine the self in a different context. To really push a boundary - especially during the time of enslavement, to really push a boundary on who and what counts as human, even,' via Vogue. The 2025 gala theme focuses on menswear, 22 years after the 'Men In Skirts' theme - which was the first gala to focus only on menswear. The Met Gala 2025 will be co-chaired by Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour, with Lebron James as the honorary chair.
