Sabrina Carpenter has shared an insight into her romance with Barry Keoghan, as she opened up about her love life.
The singer and the Irish actor were first linked in December, and have since gone public with their relationship.
During a cover interview with Cosmopolitan, the 25-year-old revealed what she looks for in a partner, and said she connects with people who are “in touch with their emotions”.
On the topic of dating, Sabrina confessed: “A lot of it, for me, has been fate. I know that’s super broad, but I don’t actively look for it.”
“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. So yeah, it’s fun and it’s messy.”
She continued: “I’m super attracted to a lot of the things I look for in friends because I want to be with someone who’s going to be one of my best friends.”
“So a lot of it is energy and humour and being genuine. I will say I’ve always connected more with people who are really in touch with their emotions.”

Sabrina is currently dating Irish star Barry, and the couple made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Met Gala earlier this month.
Their debut at the Met Gala came just weeks after Barry supported Sabrina at Coachella, where she performed on the main stage for the first time.
In videos posted on social media, the Irish actor was seen watching her debut performance from an area in front of the stage.
The 31-year-old proudly filmed her set on his phone, and cheered her on in between songs.
They were later spotted hanging out with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce during Ice Spice’s set at the famous festival.
Sabrina has become a close friend of Taylor since she supported her on her record-breaking Eras Tour, which has taken them to stadiums all over the world.
While they were first linked in December, Sabrina and Barry didn’t go public with their romance until February – when they were photographed packing on the PDA during a night out in Los Angeles.
Weeks before that, their romance was seemingly confirmed by the mother of Barry’s ex-girlfriend Alyson Sandro, who he shares his son Brando with.
In January, Alyson’s mother Kathy told MailOnline that Barry gave her the “heads up” about his new relationship before it hit headlines.
“They’re on talking terms and need to be for wee Brando,” she said. “Barry had the decency to give Alyson the heads up about his new girlfriend and we can’t fault him for that. Alyson is now focusing on herself and her son.”
