How Nancy Cartwright Is Related to Sabrina Carpenter — and Helped Launch Her Career

1 month ago 13

Nancy Cartwright is finally clearing up one of pop culture’s most surprising family connections — and yes, it does involve Sabrina Carpenter.

The legendary voice actress, best known for bringing Bart Simpson to life on The Simpsons, has long been rumored to be the aunt of the “Espresso” singer for years. Now, Nancy is setting the record straight and explaining how she played a small role in Sabrina’s rise to fame.

While appearing on the “Toon’d In! with Jim Cummings” podcast, Nancy was asked point-blank if Sabrina is really her niece. Her answer? “Yes and no.”

“Well, she’s not a blood relative,” Nancy explained in the episode, which was posted Friday, January 9. “My grandmother was married to my dad so her dad was my step brother.”

Still, the family bond runs deep — and Nancy says she’s known Sabrina since she was just a little kid.
