Barry Keoghan deactivates his Instagram amid rumors he cheated on Sabrina Carpenter with influencer

Barry Keoghan is trying to quiet the noise.

The “Bring Them Down” star deactivated his Instagram account Friday, shortly after posting a series of thirst trap pics following his split from Sabrina Carpenter.

The newly single actor, 32, was seemingly feeling himself in the photos at first, as he flexed his arm muscles in front of a mirror in one pic and flashed a giant smile in another.

However, the since-deleted posts were apparently not well-received given that Keoghan has been accused of sneakily using his social media to chat with influencer Breckie Hill behind Carpenter’s back.

Page Six has reached out to his rep for comment on whether the account deactivation is related to any backlash surrounding his breakup.

Leading up to the confirmation split, the internet was abuzz with rumors that Keoghan had been unfaithful.

A blind item submitted to the gossip account DeuxMoi read in part, “Apparently he and his pop star girlfriend called it quits very suddenly less than a week before her final shows in LA after she found out he had been chatting with said influencer behind her back for months in a not-innocent-at-all way.”

Internet sleuths deduced that Hill, 21, was the influencer in question because she fit the descriptions in the blind item, including that she is blond, based in Los Angeles and has a large TikTok following.

She also fueled the fire by resharing videos that “confirmed” she was Keoghan’s alleged mistress.

The clips she shared also provided apparent clues that she had been spending time with the Irish actor.

For instance, one of the images featured her sipping on a margarita with the words, “kinda salty,” written over it, which some believe was a direct reference to Keoghan’s hit film, “Saltburn.”

However, Hill has never flat out confirmed that she had an affair with the “Bird” star and she has not returned our repeated requests for comment.

Keoghan has also not addressed the rumors. Sources, meanwhile, recently told People that the breakup happened after a year because he and Carpenter, 25 are just “young and career-focused.”

The “Espresso” songstress, for her part, is not hiding from her fans whatsoever like Keoghan.

Instead, Carpenter put out a Netflix Christmas special Friday called “A Nonsense Christmas,” in which she celebrated the holiday season by singing along to Christmas classics.

She also stepped out in New York City Thursday to celebrate the special and was all smiles.
