Sabrina Carpenter fans were left in disbelief this week upon discovering that her aunt is none other than the voice behind Bart Simpson. Nancy Cartwright, the Emmy-winning actor who has voiced Bart Simpson for over 35 years, revealed the surprising family connection on social media while answering fan questions. Cartwright, who also voices characters like Ralph Wiggum, Todd Flanders, Nelson Muntz, and Maggie Simpson, confirmed the news with enthusiasm.
In response to a fan query about whether Sabrina Carpenter was her niece, Cartwright replied, “Yeah! Absolutely!” She added, “Isn’t that amazing? Maybe you’ve known me for a little while, doing this little 10-year-old boy for 35 some years – and some of you guys for way less than that – and find out that I’m related to this superstar. She’s pretty amazing.” Cartwright also captioned her TikTok video with, “The rumors are true! Sabrina Carpenter is my niece!”
Fans quickly took to the comment section to express their astonishment. One fan wrote, “But why does Sabrina being related to Bart Simpson make so much sense??? It really is a family attitude.” Another fan humorously requested, “Can we hear Bart sing ‘Espresso’? PLEASEEEEE.”
Before her rise to fame on Disney’s “Girl Meets World,” Sabrina Carpenter followed in her aunt’s footsteps by voicing characters in “Phineas and Ferb.” She later transitioned to a successful musical career. Carpenter recently shared the tracklist for her highly anticipated sixth album, “Short N’ Sweet,” set to release on August 23 via Island Records. The album follows her support stints on Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour and the release of her singles “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.”
In other news, Carpenter announced her North American “The Short N’ Sweet Tour,” which will kick off on September 23 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The tour will include stops in major cities like Toronto, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Orlando, Austin, Dallas, Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco.
Hollywood is known for its surprising family connections, and Sabrina Carpenter’s link to Nancy Cartwright is a prime example. Cartwright, who has been voicing Bart Simpson since the early 90s, also voices multiple other characters on “The Simpsons” and has lent her voice to iconic characters like Chuckie in “Rugrats” and Rufus in “Kim Possible.”
Cartwright’s revelation about her niece has left fans in awe. One fan commented, “Sabrina Carpenter is related to Bart Simpson, Ay, caramba!” Another added, “But why does Sabrina being related to Bart Simpson make so much sense??? It really is a family attitude.” Some fans even pointed out that while Carpenter is a rising star, Cartwright’s own iconic status should not be downplayed. One comment read, “Dude. YOU are a superstar. The voice of my generation.”
Sabrina Carpenter’s fans have been buzzing with excitement over this newfound family connection. Many took to social media to share their reactions. One user wrote, “Bart Simpson is Sabrina Carpenter’s aunt??” Another asked, “Why did no one tell me that Sabrina Carpenter’s aunt is the voice of Bart Simpson?” A third added, “SABRINA CARPENTER’S AUNT VOICES BART SIMPSON WHAT!”
The revelation has also sparked curiosity about whether Carpenter might make a guest appearance on “The Simpsons.” One fan speculated, “Since Sabrina has finally made it as a pop star and her aunt is literally Bart Simpson, how quick is she gonna get that unnecessary Simpsons Celebrity guest cameo?”
This isn’t the first time Sabrina Carpenter has revealed her famous family connection. In a previous interview with Capital FM’s Roman Kemp, she confirmed that her aunt is indeed the voice of Bart Simpson. Kemp, a huge fan of “The Simpsons,” even showed Carpenter his Bart Simpson tattoo during the interview.
Sabrina Carpenter’s connection to Nancy Cartwright has certainly added an interesting layer to her already fascinating career. As fans continue to celebrate her musical achievements and eagerly await her upcoming album and tour, this surprising family tie has only deepened their admiration for the talented singer.
