But do you know who her celebrity family member is?
Sabrina's aunt is actress Nancy Cartwright - better known as Bart Simpson.
Nancy, 67, has been voicing cartoon character Bart for more than three decades, making it her longest-running acting role.
And as well as Bart, she also provides the voices of Maggie Simpson, Ralph Wiggum, Todd Flanders, and Nelson Muntz.
Nancy has a long list of other acting and voiceover credits to her name - some of which date back long before Sabrina was born.
As well as The Simpsons, Nancy has starred in movies including The Twilight Zone and Godzilla, and TV shows such as Cheers, 24 and The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.
She also voiced the character of Chuckie Finster in the 90s Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats.
Sabrina's father, David Carpenter, is Nancy's step-brother - and some fans have only just worked out the family connection.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one person in the know declared, "Interesting side note for those who don't know. Sabrina Carpenter 's Aunt is Nancy Cartwright... Aka Bart Simpson."
Someone replied, "I did not know that!"

Another person posted, "Just found out that the voice of Bart Simpson (Nancy Cartwright) is not only a Scientologist but also Sabrina Carpenter's aunt??"
A third said, "Sabrina's aunt is Bart Simpson!"
And a fourth admitted, "How the f*** am I just finding out Sabrina Carpenter is Nancy Cartwright's niece?"
'Cool' aunt
Nancy has actually confirmed her relationship with Sabrina in a TikTok video after being asked by a fan, "Is Sabina Carpenter your niece?"
Speaking last year, Nancy said, "Yeah, absolutely.
"Isn't that amazing when you find out that somebody that maybe...
"You've known me for a little while doing this little 10 year old boy for, like, 35 some years. And for some of you guys, way less than that.
"And you find out I'm related to this, like, superstar!"
Nancy added, "She's pretty amazing."
Sabrina has also spoken about her aunt and said growing up with her voicing Bart Simpson was "the coolest thing".
In an interview with Captial FM, she said, "My whole life, that was just like the coolest thing in the world to me. I wasn't even allowed to watch the show until I was a little bit older!
"The woman is a woman of many talents, not just Bart. She always blows me away. "
Sabrina also revealed how Nancy would pull it out of the bag during family meals out.
"When we were in a restaurant, she didn't do it all the time, but there were a couple of times when we couldn't get a table and she'd be like, 'Hey, man, I'm Bart Simpson. What the hell's going on?'" she added.

CBS News names '60 Minutes' veteran Tanya Simon as broadcast's new top producer
CBS News said Thursday it has selected Tanya Simon as the top producer at '60 Minutes,' elevating a respected insider in a closely-watched appointment given the turmoil that enveloped the newsmagazine with the settlement of President Donald Trump 's lawsuit. Simon, daughter of the late '60 Minutes' correspondent Bob Simon, becomes only the fourth executive producer of the influential newsmagazine since it was invented by Don Hewitt in the late 1960s. She's been executive editor of the broadcast, and running it on an interim basis since her predecessor Bill Owens quit in April, saying he questioned whether he'd be allowed to lead the program as he saw fit. Owens had opposed settling Trump's lawsuit over the editing of last fall's interview with Kamala Harris. CBS News parent company Paramount Global agreed earlier this month to pay Trump $16 million to end their dispute. Simon has worked at '60 Minutes' for 25 years, and was strongly supported by many at the famously insular broadcast to take over for Owens. 'Tanya Simon understands what makes '60 Minutes' tick,' said Tom Cibrowski, president and executive editor of CBS News. 'She is an innovative leader, an exceptional producer, and someone who knows how to inspire people.' In May, seven '60 Minutes' correspondents signed a letter to Paramount Global management urging that Simon be appointed. 'As much as we will miss Bill Owens, we believe — no, we know — that his long-term successor must come from within,' the correspondents wrote. Crucially, Simon's appointment came before the Trump administration's approval of Paramount Global's proposed merger with Skydance Media, a takeover that is expected to result in changes at CBS News. ___ David Bauder writes about the intersection of media and entertainment for the AP.

Sydney Sweeney just sent this American stock soaring
A US clothing brand has seen its share price surge in a 'memestock' frenzy after announcing an advertising campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. Clothing brand American Eagle Outfitters saw its stock jump as much as 12pc in New York after it announced that the Euphoria and The White Lotus actress would star in a new advertising push. The surge added nearly $228m (£168m) to its market value. Ms Sweeney will appear in a campaign for its winter denim collection that includes a limited-edition jacket as well as 'The Sydney Jean'. While advertising campaigns can and do influence a company's performance and Ms Sweeney is one of the most recognisable actresses in the US, analysts said the scale of the share price jump was untethered from reality. The sharp upswing comes after the retailer gained attention on Reddit's WallStreetBets, a forum known for fuelling so-called extreme rallies in the share prices of so-called memestocks. Memestocks are companies where the share price is driven by social media hype and online communities, rather than the company's fundamental financial performance. The phenomenon emerged during the pandemic as people turned to trading as a way to entertain themselves during lockdowns. 'Gamblification' of stock markets The term memestock was coined after companies including GameStop and Blackberry saw their share prices surge in 2021 despite little in the way of updates about their underlying performance. The vertiginous rally triggered the collapse of a hedge fund that had bet against GameStop's stock and helped inspire the 2023 film Dumb Money starring Paul Dano. American Eagle's stock was down almost 50pc so far this year prior to this week's rally after it pulled its annual forecasts because of tariff uncertainty. The company primarily sources its products from China. Ross Mayfield, an analyst at Baird Private Wealth Management, said memestocks were a symbol of how stock markets had been 'gamblified'. He said: 'It says to me nothing about the level of interest rates or financial conditions. This is retail traders moving individual stocks that are heavily shorted. 'It reflects more the gambling culture permeating financial markets. These are not being bid up because of a good earnings report. It's because of a Sydney Sweeney ad campaign.' Ms Sweeney, who has 25.2m followers on Instagram, has fronted campaigns for the likes of Ford, Baskin-Robbins ice cream and luxury fashion brand Miu Miu. As well as being known for her screen roles, Ms Sweeney has become a prominent figure in popular culture and found herself wrapped up in North American culture wars. After her appearance hosting Saturday Night Live, in which she appeared in a sketch as a Hooters waitress, Canadian newspaper the National Post that declared the actress's breasts were the 'double-D harbingers of the death of woke', a claim that sparked a wave of commentary on both sides of the political spectrum centring on her physical appearance. Meanwhile, Ms Sweeney was criticised by commentators on the Left in 2023 after she attended a birthday party for her mother where guests were pictured wearing Maga-style caps.
