Another insider detailed the ex-couple's struggles further, adding: "It’s been challenging for their relationship since she started going on tour and has been gone a lot.
"Their schedules were not aligning. All the time spent apart, it was hard to maintain a relationship amid her career exploding."
Further sources claimed Keoghan was "very devoted to Sabrina's happiness", but they are "at different places in their lives".

Keoghan swiftly addressed the breakup after deactivating his Instagram amid the harsh speculation.
He wrote on X: "I can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don't respond to. I have to respond now because it's getting to a place where there are too many lines being crossed.
The father addressed the rumors and slammed people who 'attacked his character' and 'everything he's worked for'.
"I deactivated my account because I can no longer let this stuff distract from my family and my work. The messages I have received — no person should ever have to read them.
"Absolute lies, hatred, disgusting commentary about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent, and every other inhumane thing you can imagine."
He also expressed frustration over internet sleuths "attacking his character" and "everything he's worked so hard for and believes in".
