The voice behind Bart Simpson in The Simpsons has a surprising connection to a famous pop star. Nancy Cartwright, who has been voicing Bart for 35 years, is actually the aunt of Sabrina Carpenter, the former Disney Channel star turned chart-topping sensation. Nancy, a legendary voice actor, has had an illustrious career, earning an Emmy for her performance on The Simpsons and gaining recognition for her work on other productions like Rugrats and Kim Possible. It’s incredible to think that the iconic voice of Bart Simpson is related to one of the biggest names in pop music!
Sabrina Carpenter, 24, recently achieved her first top 10 song on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart with her track “Espresso.” She even performed at the renowned music festival Coachella, where she was supported by her boyfriend, actor Barry Keoghan. Back in 2011, Sabrina attended the premiere of Happy Feet Two with her aunt Nancy, where they had the chance to meet the late Robin Williams. In a tweet from that year, Nancy mentioned her “up-and-coming-star-niece” and expressed her joy in attending the event with her. The following year, Sabrina took to X to wish her aunt a happy birthday, not realizing that Nancy was already on the social media platform. It’s heartwarming to see the bond between these talented family members, and fans can’t help but be delighted by this unexpected connection.

Happy Birthday to my lovely Aunt Nancy.. she doesn’t have Twitter but I feel like I should still tweet about her. #bartsimpsonman #love <3 [sic],' she wrote at the time.
Sabrina, before becoming a chart-topping artist, appeared on TV shows such as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Sofia the First. She later joined the Disney Channel spin-off Girl Meet World.
Even after signing with Hollywood Records and releasing music, Sabrina continued to pursue acting. She starred in films like The Hate U Give and Tall Girl.
In 2017, Nancy expressed her pride in Sabrina’s performance at the iHeartRadio Theater in LA. She tweeted on X: ‘So proud of my superstar niece @SabrinaAnnLynn. She killed it at the @iHeartRadio.’
Four years later, Sabrina had a conversation with Simpsons superfan Roman Kemp, who revealed his Bart Simpson tattoo. Nancy tweeted, ‘This video made my day! Love you @SabrinaAnnLynn! Proud to be your aunt! P.S. Nice tattoo @romankemp!’
In a Wired video from two years ago, Sabrina talked about her talented aunt and described her as a ‘legend’. She mentioned that they work in different areas of the industry but she has learned a lot from observing Nancy’s talent.
