Sabrina Carpenter Receives ‘Risk’ Warning on ‘Star Power’ Amid Barry Keoghan Split Rumors

A public relations expert has advised Sabrina Carpenter to “eliminate any risk to her personal appeal” as rumours of a possible split between her and Barry Keoghan begin to emerge.

As Carpenter’s fame continues to rise, public relations expert Jane Owen has issued a stern warning to the pop star, sharing how she would help her navigate a tumultuous relationship and potential public breakup if she worked with the singer.

Rumors of a breakup between Carpenter and Keoghan first surfaced after she released the song “Please Please Please”, which includes the lyrics “If you wanna be stupid / Don’t do it in front of me”.

Fans immediately began to speculate whether it was a statement signaling the end of their relationship. However, the “Espresso” singer later clarified that the “Saltburn” actor “loved the song.”

“He was obsessed with the lyrics, and I’m so grateful for that. I don’t want to sound biased, but I think he’s one of the best actors of this generation. So seeing him on screen with my song in the background made the video even better and more special,” the 25-year-old singer said.

But that hasn’t stopped breakup rumors from circulating, prompting the veteran public relations professional to share her thoughts on the former Disney Channel star’s approach to managing her public image amid her high-profile relationship and the prospect of a split.

Owen, a well-known figure in the world of public relations, shared his expert opinion with The Mirror that managing a celebrity’s relationship image in the media is undoubtedly one of the most complex and sensitive aspects of a public relations professional’s job.

“At the end of the day, celebrities are just people and as we all know, relationships, even normal ones, are complicated, require effort, have ups and downs and sometimes don’t work out,” she said.

Owen said that if she were part of Carpenter’s team, she would prioritize protecting the singer’s reputation as she grew in popularity. The public relations expert noted that maintaining a positive public image is important because failed relationships can tarnish a person’s reputation in the public eye.

“If Sabrina were my client, I would also be very aware that her growing status in the celebrity world needs to be maintained and protected at all times. Failed relationships can turn sour and can have a negative impact on the public perception of that person,” Owen said.

“An extreme example is of course Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Sabrina is on the rise, but she’s not a global superstar yet and certainly not big enough to not be ‘cancelled’ or have her reputation damaged and have that negatively impact her career,” she added.

Owen stressed the importance of Carpenter’s public relations team protecting the singer’s connection to Keoghan while eliminating “any risk to her personal star power.” To achieve this, Owen suggested closely monitoring Carpenter’s social media posts, interviews, and public appearances with them.

“If they break up, my advice to her team is ‘Speak up’ and ‘Speak up,’” Owen told the outlet. “Often the first thing people read about a situation is what they believe, so have a statement ready and waiting in case it’s needed. Hopefully you’ll never have to use it, but it’s better to be ready than not.”
