Sabrina Carpenter has officially joined nepo baby club. It turns out that she has a famous aunt, and it’s someone we’ve all been listening to for year. Yup, it’s none other than Nancy Cartwright, the iconic voice behind Bart Simpson.
Nancy, the legendary Simpsons voice actress, revealed on TikTok that she is indeed related to the “Espresso” singer. Cartwright, 66, has voiced Bart since the animated sitcom began airing in 1989. She also voices Maggie Simpson, Nelson Muntz, Ralph Wiggum, and even Chuckie Finster in Rugrats.
“‘Is Sabrina Carpenter your niece?’” Cartwright read from a fan question, responding, “Yeah, absolutely. Isn’t that amazing? When you find out that somebody that… maybe you’ve known me for a little while doing this 10-year-old boy for like 35-something years… [When you] find out that I’m related to this superstar.”
“The rumours are true! Sabrina Carpenter is my niece!” Cartwright captioned the video.

Fans quickly expressed their surprise in the comments of Cartwright’s post.
One wrote, “But why does Sabrina being related to Bart Simpson make so much sense??? It really is a family attitude.”
Another fan predicted that it’s only a matter of time until Carpenter, 25, makes an appearance in Springfield.
“I am so calling it, Sabrina is gonna be a character of an episode of the Simpsons at some point,” wrote the TikTok user.

Considering Sabrina has plenty of voice-acting experience just like her aunt, it’s no surprise they’re related.

She’s also starred in Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World, a spinoff of the popular sitcom Boy Meets World.
Musically, Carpenter has had a breakthrough year with her latest single “Please Please Please” reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in June. She also recently opened for Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour.
Carpenter’s new album, Short n’ Sweet, is due for release on August 23. She is also hitting the road on her Short n’ Sweet Tour in September.
