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.

Kris Jenner shares SHOCK Father's Day post praising Kanye West, Caitlyn Jenner, and Tristan Thompson
Kris Jenner honored all the fathers in her life, including her exes Caitlyn Jenner and Robert Kardashian Sr. On Sunday, the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, 69, gave a special shout-out to each one of the men that share children with her daughters Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe Kardashian as well as her youngest, Kylie Jenner. 'Happy Father's Day to all of the dads, step dads, grandfathers and father figures out there! You have shaped, supported, and loved us in so many ways and I'm grateful to have witnessed the love that each of you has for your children,' she captioned her post. The reality star continued: 'To my son, Rob… you were born to be a daddy and I am so proud of the father and the man you are. I love you! I wish all the dads out there a day filled with love.' The mother-of-six shares her eldest four children with her late first husband and youngest daughters Kendall and Kylie with Caitlyn, who she split from in 2015 after 22 years of marriage. Even her longtime partner, Corey Gamble, was included in her montage, which featured pictures of her daughters' exes Kanye West, Tristan Thompson, Scott Disick and Travis Scott. Kourtney's husband, Travis Barker, could also be seen in a sweet shot of him kissing their baby boy Rocky Thirteen Barker, 19 months. Fans of Kris took to the comment section to praise her 'very nice and inclusive' post. 'She didn't discriminate,' one Instagram user wrote, alluding to the behind-the-scenes drama with many of the men and her daughters, from cheating scandals to divorce. Another wrote: 'This post says a lot about you @krisjenner. You are a symbol of unity and positivity despite the challenges you've faced since being on our screens for more than a decade that we've watched your beautiful family.' 'Love how everyone is always included ♥︎,' a third praised. A fourth added: 'This is beautiful @krisjenner … despite all the drama they are still their fathers… he who has not sinned cast the first stone.' Others called the post 'pure class' and applauded how 'welcoming and accepting' her family is. Still, some questioned Kris' decision to include West, who has been involved in numerous public controversies, and Thompson, who cheated on her daughter Khloe multiple times. Fans of Kris took to the comment section to praise her 'very nice and inclusive' post 'Kanye? Really?' one asked. Another wrote: 'Get Tristan off this collage right now.' Kris has always tried to maintain close relationships with her children's exes by inviting them to family events and gatherings, even through their ups and downs of his past. She's even gone above and beyond to support them professionally, including calling ESPN to help Thompson get his gig with the network.

I tried the non-surgical treatments all celebrities swear by for instant results - and the $7 tool that transformed my face: POLISHED by Elise Wilson
Welcome to Polished with Elise Wilson, where FEMAIL's qualified makeup artist and hair stylist answers your questions, shares advice and trials the up-and-coming beauty and skincare trends so you don't have to. In my quest for eternal youth, and a snatched jawline that rivals Angelia Jolie, I've discovered a breaking beauty trend that I could not wait to write about. There's a wellness revolution that has quietly been sweeping through the industry, and interestingly, it's less about needles and more about sculpting. From jawlines to jowls, inner thighs to puffy eyes, we're no longer relying solely on injectables or surgery to achieve that coveted 'snatched' look. Instead, experts are using and promoting far more relaxing treatments like lymphatic drainage, buccal facials, and Brazilian-style body massages that promise to contour, detoxify, and lift without a needle in sight. Before we fully delve in, and well before you deem me as being ' out of touch ' as Nicole Kidman for recommending ridiculously expensive things, hear me out, because this kind of beauty trend doesn't have to break the bank. If you'd have told me five years ago I'd be getting a $700 facial that involved someone massaging the inside of my mouth (!), I'd have laughed you out of the room. But as the very dedicated beauty editor that I am, I really had to put my face on the line to see what all the fuss was about. Known as The Buccal Fusion Facial, this is just one of the 'buzzy' professional sculpting treatments available, and loved by the likes of Meghan Markle and Kate Moss I may add, which delivers a lot more than just glow. Recently I was lucky enough to nab myself an appointment with Australia's best Buccal skincare guru herself April Brodie, who treats every celeb around, and pioneers the cult treatment here. And while her aforementioned price tag (and six-month-long wait list) made my eyes water, so did the results. The lift, the glow, the contour… and the relief of my stress-induced tight jaw! Noteworthy. But here's the thing, you don't have to spend that kind of money to reap the benefits of facial and body sculpting, and that's also why I'm such a big fan. (Keep reading for more on buzzwords like gua sha's, face rollers and cupping below). This booming beauty and wellness trend is now more accessible than ever, with plenty of affordable treatments and at-home tools that can help lift, de-puff, define and smooth your face and body from the comfort of your own bathroom. After all, we're living in the age of hyper-visibility where our faces and bodies are on screens more than ever, and that has inevitably driven up the pressure to look good, all the time. 'Rather than just being about aesthetics, I am noticing more people actively seeking treatments that combine beauty with wellness,' said pioneering Brazilian lymphatic drainage specialist, Daniela Pola. 'My clients are loving the more holistic methods that promise to deliver, glow, grounding, and detoxifying results, which is why I do what I do. They not only feel amazing, they instantly look it too,' Dani noted of the sculpting effects after her body treatments. It's no wonder these techniques are now also red carpet favourites too. 'Celebrities love the Buccal Fusion Facial before big events,' April said. 'It delivers instant, stunning results with zero downtime.' I'd say this whole sculpting movement is more about honouring your natural face and body while giving it the support, boosted circulation, and TLC it deserves. Right up my alley. Firstly, what are the benefits of lymphatic drainage massage? More than just relaxation, this type of treatment is a powerful wellness tool. 'It helps boost circulation, which can increase energy levels and mental clarity, while also supporting the immune system and reducing stress,' said Dani. 'Many people find it improves sleep and creates an overall feeling of lightness and calm, and it's especially popular among those wanting to detox or de-bloat.' However, it's important to note that it doesn't burn fat. A common misconception is that lymphatic drainage melts away fat cells but both Dani and April agree that what it actually does is help the body flush out excess fluid and toxins. Medically, it's particularly useful for anyone experiencing fluid retention, such as after surgery. On the face, regular lymphatic drainage can help de-puff, brighten the skin, and improve tone, all while aiding the body's natural detox process. Over time, it may reduce inflammation, giving the skin a healthier, more radiant glow and contributing to an overall sense of wellbeing. The rise in Brazilian body 'secrets' After hearing so many beauty editor friends raving about the best 'Brazilian beauty' treatments a few years back, I was intrigued and booked in immediately. I've since become a regular at Dani's wellness studio, She's So Well, for Brazilian lymphatic drainage massage's - a treatment known for its ability to both contour and calm. Where traditional lymphatic massages are soft and quite clinical, Dani's version is firmer, rhythmic, and almost dance-like. 'The Brazilian technique is more than just de-bloating,' she explained. 'It supports detoxification, improves gut health, reduces inflammation, and leaves you visibly more defined, instantly.' Each session with Daniela starts with breathwork to activate the lymphatic system and calm the nervous system. She then uses sculpting strokes, gentle cupping, and herbal oils to move fluid and tension through the body. 'I had clients who came in feeling disconnected from their bodies, bloated, anxious, out of sync,' she told me. 'These treatments help women realign with their bodies and their energy. It's not about looking 'skinny', it's about feeling well.' Let's just say I no longer rely on just Spanx to feel sculpted, and at $200 per treatment, it's a monthly expense I can justify… especially when she incorporates a bit of reiki too (don't know it til' you try it). What is involved in a Buccal Facial? When I visited April for my special facial appointment, I expected relaxation. What I got was an intense, deeply therapeutic workout for my face, and one of the most effective sculpting results I've ever experienced without the use of a machine. 'This isn't your usual facial,' April told me, as she prepared for the intraoral massage portion. 'It mixes techniques from around the world - Eastern European, Japanese, Brazilian, Asian - and goes deep into the muscles of the face.' She wasn't kidding. By the time April was done kneading my facial muscles from the inside out, my jawline and cheekbones were visibly more lifted, and I had a radiant glow that lasted for days. Similar to the body treatments, April explained that Buccal facials aren't just about looks, either. 'This facial improves circulation, stimulates lymphatic flow, and reduces puffiness, and then over time, it can increase collagen, improve elasticity, and soften fine lines.' Think of it like a workout for your face. 'We exercise our bodies, why wouldn't we do the same for our faces?' My DIY sculpting go-to's If an expensive sculpting facial isn't in your weekly beauty budget, I get it. There are plenty of DIY tools that can help you mimic the benefits of professional treatments at home, and they're growing in popularity for good reason. TOP TIP: Invest in some nourishing face and body oils to help your sculpting tools glide effortlessly as well as infuse skincare ingredients deeper. Facial cupping - Using small silicone or glass suction cups they gently lift the skin and stimulate blood flow. 'When used correctly, these can help boost circulation, reduce puffiness and even promote collagen production for a firmer, brighter complexion,' said Dani, who sells these a lot to her clients along with her special custom oil blend. Face rollers - Possibly the most satisfying of my loot, rollers helps sculpt cheekbones, define the jawline, improve lymphatic drainage and relieve facial tension, especially if you grind your teeth or clench your jaw. 'They're perfect for de-puffing first thing in the morning,' said Dani. Use them chilled for an instant wake-up and to soothe inflammation or tired eyes. Facial gua sha - A traditional Chinese technique, it's all about gentle, gliding movements across the face using a smooth-edged stone. The jade or rose quartz ones are popular, but to be honest they're all created the same purpose. I use a metal one from Kmart. Body gua sha - These are larger and designed to help break up fascia (connective tissue), reduce cellulite, and support lymphatic drainage in areas like the thighs, arms and stomach. Use with lots of oil and firm, upward strokes for that sculpted, post-massage feeling. Body cupping - Similar to facial cupping but on a larger scale, these silicone or glass cups are applied to areas like the thighs, stomach, buttocks and arms to stimulate circulation, encourage lymphatic drainage and help reduce the appearance of cellulite. When paired with body oil and used regularly, cupping can mimic some of the benefits of a Brazilian lymphatic massage. Just go easy at first to avoid bruising, and treat it as a quick, effective self-care step between professional treatments. So, whether you're splurging on a boujee celeb-approved treatment or reaching for your trusty $9 gua sha tool like me, the beauty of this trend is that there's something for everyone. Sculpting isn't just about chasing snatched cheekbones, but more about reconnecting with your body, boosting your energy, and carving out a few calming minutes for yourself. And if you ask me, that's the kind of beauty ritual worth investing in.
