Simpsons star Nancy Cartwright has just confirmed “the rumors” that It Girl Sabrina Carpenter is in fact her privileged niece.
“Yes, absolutely!” the 66-year-old Emmy winner – who has 4 million followers on social media – answered a fan question on tuesday.
“Isn’t that amazing? When you find out that someone, who you’ve known for maybe a while, who’s been doing this little 10-year-old kid for 35 years, and some of you guys have been doing it for a lot less than that. Find out that I’m related to this, like, superstar. She’s pretty amazing.”
Nancy was also photographed with the ‘incredibly talented’ 25-year-old pop star in a 2011 photo review from the Hollywood premiere of Happy Feet 2, where they were attended by “one of the greatest artists of our generation, the late Robin Williams.”
Cartwright is also proud posted a video about her “gorgeous niece” who performed at the Roxy in West Hollywood in 2016, noting, “She’s only 17 – almost 30! What a star!”

The 66-year-old Emmy winner answered a fan question on Tuesday: “Isn’t that amazing?

She’s really amazing.”
In 2021 Sabrina told Wired that the “talented” Scientologist was the sister of her father David Carpenter and that she raved about how much she had “learned just by witnessing the legend.”
Nancy reportedly earns as much as $300,000 per episode for voicing 12 characters, including Bart Simpson, Nelson Muntz and Ralph Wiggum, on the longest-running sitcom in TV history, created by Matt Groening in 1987.
The Simpsons will officially air its 800th episode during its upcoming 36th season on Fox.
Cartwright is also known for providing the voice of the character Chuckie Finster in the Paramount+ reboot Rugrats, which has aired two seasons as of 2021.
Carpenter, who taught herself to play piano and guitar using YouTube tutorials, has long claimed she was discovered after finishing third in The Next Miley Cyrus Project in 2009.
But the former Disney Channel star got a huge boost to her career when she opened for 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Mexico, South America, Australia and Singapore.
Last week, Sabrina, who is in a relationship with Oscar-nominated actor Barry Keoghan, scored her first-ever No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her hit single Please Please Please.
On Tuesday, Carpenter revealed the full 12-song tracklist from her sixth studio album Short n’ Sweet – due out August 23 – including Taste, Good Graces, Sharpest Tool, Coincidence, Bed Chem, Dumb & Poetic, Slim Pickins, Juno, Lie to Girls and Don’t Smile.
The Espresso hitmaker, who has 86.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, is scheduled to headline Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco from August 9-11, before kicking off her sold-out 33-date Short n’ Sweet Tour.
But first, audiences can see Sabrina battle ‘Wings of Death’ on First We Feast’s talk show Hot Ones, streaming this Thursday at 11 a.m. ET on YouTube.
