This year has been a pivotal chapter in Sabrina Carpenter’s career. From her national Short n’ Sweet tour to topping charts with her hit “Manchild,” she continues to dominate the pop music industry. However, recently, fans have been just as interested in her love life as her music. 

As of late, Sabrina Carpenter and actor-musician Joe Keery have sparked fresh speculation that they might be more than friends. Rumors have been circulating after their interaction at the Austin City Limits festival. During Carpenter’s set, she playfully “arrested” Keery during her famous “cuffing season” bit. Fans immediately noticed chemistry between the two and continued to spread the rumor through the internet. 

Later that same weekend, Sabrina Carpenter was seen watching Joe’s performance with his band, Djo, adding even more to the speculation. The two have recently followed each other on Instagram, which, in the world of celebrity gossip, is practically a relationship announcement. 

Neither Keery nor Carpenter have confirmed anything publicly, and some fans believe the whole moment could have just been a playful stage interaction. Still, their friendly behavior and recent appearances together have made many wonder if something real is developing behind the scenes. 

Joe Keery was last known to be dating actress Maika Monroe, with the pair reportedly breaking up in 2023. Meanwhile, Carpenter was previously linked to actor Barry Keoghan earlier this year, though reports suggest they’ve since gone their separate ways. 

Whether it’s a new romance or simply two artists having fun, fans are clearly here for it. Between Joe’s easygoing charm, and Sabrina’s playful confidence, the two make an unexpectedly perfect duo. And while neither has confirmed anything yet, their recent appearances have everyone watching and waiting to see what happens next.
