blabbermouths
Can't keep secrets
Blabbermouths are people who talk too much, especially those who can't keep secrets or speak indiscreetly: Don't tell her anything—she's a blabbermouth.
The word combines blab (to reveal carelessly) with mouth, emphasizing that the problem is uncontrolled speech.
Someone who blabs has a blabbermouth.
