‘I told you guyssssss that this was never ANYTHING the age difference duhhhhh (sic),’ they wrote in X.
Another fan made a joke referencing Sabrina’s hit song: “The man said he wanted some decaf and was tired of espresso.”
Some fans joked that they thought they had a chance with any of the new single stars.
“It’s good to know he’s single now…” one person wrote about Barry.
Some of Sabrina’s fans reacted to the breakup report through the prism of her music.

There were few public signs of trouble in paradise for the star couple.
Earlier in November, the Banshees Of Inisherin actor had complimented his love for his work ethic after earning his first Grammy nominations.
Just a few days earlier, he gushed that he was “incredibly blessed” to be with Sabrina while appearing on Louis Theroux’s podcast, but those comments were a starting point for the usually reserved couple, and they don’t appear to have done more. substantial comments about their relationship in recent weeks.
Sabrina and Barry were first linked in early December 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 this month, which may have prepared her for her official meeting at the Givenchy 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 performed a Bonnie and Clyde-like duet in the video. Sabrina appeared as a woman who was released from prison just as the heartthrob was imprisoned.
But she got more than she bargained for after rescuing him, as she became caught in a bloody showdown with a mob boss and an armed bank robbery led by Barry’s character.
At the time, Sabrina claimed that she chose Barry to star in the video with her because she thought he was one of the most talented actors of his generation, and not just because he was her boyfriend.
Although the couple made few public statements about their romance, the movie 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 signs of trouble between Sabrina and Barry when a source told 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 Disney Channel actor Joshua Bassett from 2020 to 2021, and was linked to singer Shawn Mendes early last year.
