"Ended all the breakup rumors with ease" — Internet reacts to Barry Keoghan's response to Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega Bratz dolls

On August 27, 2024, the doll company Bratz premiered two dolls resembling Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega from the former's music video Taste on social media. The MV for the track, a part of Carpenter's sixth studio album Short n' Sweet, premiered on August 23, 2024.

Irish actor Barry Keoghan, Carpenter's boyfriend, commented on the Instagram post, writing:

"Can I have one?"

Carpenter and Keoghan have reportedly been dating since 2023. The two appeared together at the 2024 MET Gala and Keoghan even starred in Carpenter's music video for Please Please Please in June 2024.

However, the two sparked rumors of a breakup recently, but a source confirmed to People Magazine, as per an August 19 report, that the pair allegedly had an "on and off" relationship. Barry Keoghan's comment on the Bratz dolls' Instagram page led many to dispel the breakup rumors. One person said on X (formerly Twitter):

Many wondered why people were alluding to their breakup when neither party confirmed the rumors.

"Where did yall get that they broke up from bc he’s been liking her instagram posts and hasn’t stopped," one person said.

"They really made us think they "broke up" lol him supporting her in any way he can is soooo cute," another person added.

"Such a supportive boyfriend," one X user said.

"I think that means they’re still together," another X user wrote.

Others extrapolated on his comment, adding he wanted to be included in the Bratz squad.

"Looks like Barry wants to join the Bratz squad," one person commented.

"Help, not Barry wants to be included," another person added.

"Get this man a Sabrina Bratz doll right now!" one X user wrote.

"They would sell so many dolls if they made them," another netizen said.

What did Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega say about the Bratz dolls?

Bratz captured the perfect likeness of Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega's attire from the Taste MV. Carpenter's doll has her quintessential blond hair, bangs, and rosy cheeks, dressed in the black full-length gown the singer wore in the MV.

Meanwhile, Ortega's doll has its black hair styled in curls, with its face covered by a black funeral veil. The doll also wore similar to Ortega's black gown with the thigh slit from the MV. The two dolls are placed beside each other, walking along the lawn, reminiscent of the closing shot in the video.

Carpenter and Ortega also expressed their excitement at having their own dolls, with the singer asking the company to ship the dolls to them on Instagram stories. Ortega also reposted the picture on her Instagram, adding:

“What is happening. And yes let us know @bratz.”

Taste is the opening track in Carpenter's latest album Short n' Sweet, released on August 23, 2024. The 12-track LP also includes her hits Espresso and Please Please Please. The Taste MV tells the tale of Carpenter trying to kill Jenna Ortega, her ex-boyfriend's new partner.

What follows is a cat-and-mouse hunt with the two women trying to murder each other in an increasingly violent fashion. The video ends with the women at the ex-boyfriend's funeral after Ortega accidentally kills him.

In the closing shot, Ortega and Carpenter walk together with a milkshake in their hands, complaining about the ex being "insecure".
