The insider further divulged that it’s been ‘challenging for their relationship since she started going on tour and has been gone a lot’ and that ‘their schedules were not aligning.’

‘All the time spent apart it was hard to maintain a relationship amid her career exploding.’

The source added that Sabrina was being ‘pulled in so many directions’ and simply did not have time to ‘commit to a relationship.’

After reaching a ‘huge level of stardom’ it’s reportedly been tough for the songbird to ‘focus and to be present for him in a relationship.’

The source added she ‘barely has time for herself let alone for a relationship.’

Another insider told the publication that the breakup happened within ‘the last month’ because of their busy schedules.

The fact that they weren’t able to spend more time together ‘took a toll on the relationship.’

It was noted that there’s no bad blood between the ‘cordial’ pair and their split was ‘not contentious.’

When previously asked by Rolling Stone if she refers to Barry as her boyfriend she said: ‘How do I skirt around this question?’.

‘The [dating] pool is the pool, and when you meet people that feel authentic and are so brilliant and amazing in every way, that’s what you do. Obviously, I write songs about exactly how I feel, so I guess I can’t be so surprised that people are interested in who and what those songs are about.’

She concluded: ‘That’s something that comes with the territory.’
