blabberer
Can't keep secrets
A blabberer is someone who talks too much, especially about things that should be kept private.
The word carries connotations of indiscretion—a blabberer reveals secrets or shares information carelessly: Don't tell him anything; he's a notorious blabberer.
Related to blabbermouth, though slightly less colloquial.
