‘Damn, the fans are going to [go] berserk,’ one person wrote perceptively on X (formerly Twitter). ‘Well, happy new beginnings to both Sabrina and Barry if it is true.’
‘Omg I’m heartbroken,’ added another fan who included broken heart and sobbing emojis.
‘Bummer. Oh no. Sad to hear,’ wrote one poster.
But another fan, who seemed please by the report, posted: ‘Good bc she can do way better.’
One fan theorized baselessly that the couple’s seven-year age difference was what led to the end of their relationship.
‘i told you guysssssss this wasa nevern it AT ALL the age difference duhhhhh [sic],’ they wrote on X.
Another fan made a punny joke referencing Sabrina’s hit song: ‘Man said he want some decaf and tired of expresso.’
Some fans joked that they thought they had a chance with either of the newly single stars.

‘Good to know he’s single now…’ one person wrote of Barry.
Some of Sabrina’s fans reacted to the breakup report through the prism of her music.
‘we getting a heartbeat break album omfg [sic],’ one person enthused.
There were few public signs of trouble in paradise for the all-star couple.
Earlier in November, the Banshees Of Inisherin actor had complimented his love on her work ethic after she earned her first-ever Grammy Award nominations.
Just a few days before that he gushed that he was ‘incredibly blessed’ to be with Sabrina while appearing on Louis Theroux’s podcast, but those comments were a departure for the usually tight-lipped couple, and they don’t appear to have made more substantial comments about their relationship in recent weeks.
Sabrina and Barry were first linked back in early December of 2023.
The couple had met just a few months earlier, in September. The Espresso singer attended a screening of Barry’s polarizing thriller Saltburn earlier in the month, which may have prepared her for their official meeting at the Givenchy runway show at Paris Fashion Week.

Sabrina and Barry’s relationship heated up to the point that he even starred with her in the music video for her single Please Please Please.
The lovebirds played a Bonnie and Clyde–like duo in the video. Sabrina appeared as a woman who was released from jail just as the heartthrob was being jailed.
But she got more than she bargained for after bailing him out, as she got caught up in a bloody showdown with a mob boss and an armed bank robbery that Barry’s character led.
At the time, Sabrina claimed that she chose Barry to star with her in the video because she thought he was one of the most talented actors of his generation, rather than just because he was her boyfriend.
Although the couple made few public statements about their romance, the film star appeared to be a devoted boyfriend in public after attending Sabrina’s performance at the Coachella Music Festival in April of this year.
But there were hints of trouble between Sabrina and Barry when a source claimed to People in August that the couple’s relationship was ‘on and off.’
Barry previously had long-term relationships with Shona Guerin (from 2017 to 2020) and Alyson Kierans (from 2021 to 2023).
He and Kierans welcomed a son named Brando in 2022.
Sabrina previously had a high-profile romance with the Disney Channel actor Joshua Bassett from 2020 to 2021, and she was linked to singer Shawn Mendes early last year.
