bigmouthed

Prone to blabbing

Bigmouthed describes someone who talks too much, especially about things better kept quiet.

A bigmouthed person might reveal secrets, boast excessively, or simply dominate conversations: Her bigmouthed brother told everyone about the surprise party.

The word carries a note of disapproval—being bigmouthed is never a compliment.
