From her hit songs to A-lister relationship, it feels very much like it's Sabrina Carpenter's world and we're just living in it.

The singer and actress, 25, has come a very long way since her days on Disney channel series Girl Meets World and singing contest The Next Miley Cyrus Project - and there's no doubt that she's worked very hard for her fame.

However, Hollywood is a very small place and it turns out that Carpenter had a leg up on other aspiring actresses thanks to a surprising industry connection, because of course.

Unlike some of the industry's biggest nepo babies Sabrina's connections to the industry aren't as obvious due to her lack of famous surname.

However it turns out that she's the niece of one of the most recognisable voices on TV.

Can you guess who?

It turns out that Carpenter is the niece of none other than Nancy Cartwright, the voice behind beloved cartoon character Bart Simpson. Ay, caramba!

Although she is known for primarily voicing the mischievous youngster, Cartwright also provides the pipes for multiple characters in The Simpsons - notably Ralph Wiggum, Todd Flanders, Nelson Muntz, and Bart's younger sister Maggie.

She impressive resume also boasts of voice work in various films and TV shows, including Rugrats, Lilo & Stitch and Kim Possible - meaning that showbiz talent must run in the family.

While the pair are rarely seen in public together, they were last photographed at the Happy Feet premiere back in 2011, neither Sabrina or Nancy have tried to hide their familial connection in the past.

Carpenter previously confirmed the relation during an interview with Capital FM's Roman Kemp, leaving him stunned by the piece of trivia.

"Now I am actually in love with one of your family members. Now correct me if I'm wrong, because when I first heard this, I couldn't believe it but your aunt is the voice of Bart Simpson," Kemp said, to which Carpenter confirmed the relation was in-fact true.

"Bart Simpson is what I grew up on, that's the legend. Your aunt is Nancy Cartwright, that is unreal," he replied.

Cartwright has also voiced support for her niece's career, previously sharing a proud auntie moment on social media all the way back in 2016.

"My niece, Sabrina Carpenter, at the Roxy! She is all of 17 - going on 30! So smart-sexy!! Look for her! She is a..." Cartwright wrote on X, alongside a clip of Carpenter performing a live performance.

Fans have also discussed their surprise at the relation in depth over on Reddit titled 'I was today years old when I learned that Sabrina Carpenter's aunt is Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson'.

"Since Sabrina has finally made it as a popstar and her aunt is literally Bart Simpson, how quick is she gonna get that unnecessary Simpsons Celebrity guest cameo," joked one person in the replies.

"Damn everyone in Hollywood really is related to someone," a second person added.
