Sabrina Carpenter and Joe Keery have recently become the center of swirling romance rumors. Speculation intensified after a video went viral showing Keery being humorously “arrested” during Carpenter’s concert on October 4. Just days later, on October 10, Carpenter was seen attending Keery’s ACL Fest Nights in Austin, Texas, further fueling the rumors.

Fans are buzzing with excitement, especially after a report from DeuxMoi claimed that Carpenter was spotted walking backstage at the event. Despite not having a scheduled performance that evening, many believe she was there to meet Keery, sparking more whispers about a possible relationship.

The intrigue doesn’t stop there. The pair has also recently started following each other on Instagram, a move that has sent dating speculations into overdrive among their followers.

Here’s a closer look at the “Espresso” singer and the Fargo actor, along with a few insights into their net worth comparisons.

Carpenter’s net worth and who she’s dated

Sabrina Carpenter was born on May 11, 1999, in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. She grew up with three sisters and was homeschooled alongside them. Interestingly, their family boasts of a famous relative—Nancy Cartwright, who is well-known for voicing Bart Simpson on the long-running TV series The Simpsons.

As a child, Carpenter developed an interest in music, so her father built her a recording studio. She began posting videos on YouTube of her singing Christina Aguilera and Adele songs. She later signed with manager Bill Perlman and started acting. She landed a guest spot on the NBC series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She also appeared in an episode of Orange is the New Black, but her breakthrough role came when she played Maya Hart on the Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World.

In 2014, Sabrina Carpenter signed a five-record deal with Hollywood Records. That same year, she released her debut single, “Can’t Blame a Girl for Trying.” She followed that up with a few other albums but gained commercial success in 2024 with Short n’ Sweet. That album reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Today, Carpenter has a net worth of $16 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Before she was romantically linked to Keery, the songstress was in a relationship with another actor. She and Barry Keoghan began dating in 2023. By December of 2024, they confirmed that they were taking a break to focus on their careers. Their split came just months after Carpenter’s music video for “Please Please Please,” which Keoghan starred in, was released.

Following their split, Keoghan received a ton of online hate from his ex’s fans and deactivated his Instagram account for a time.

Keery’s net worth and who he’s dated

Keery was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and has four siblings. He participated in theater when he was a child and continued throughout high school. He later studied at DePaul University in Chicago and graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting.

The following year, he auditioned for the role of Jonathan in Stranger Things. However, he later sent in a tape for the part of Steve and has been playing that character on the hit Netflix series ever since.

Keery is also a musician and uses the stage name Djo. Today, he has a net worth of $4 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Like Carpenter, Keery dealt with a public relationship and breakup in the past. He dated fellow actor Maika Monroe from 2017 to 2023.

When they were together, Keery mentioned her during an interview with GQ, saying, “Over quarantine, it was like we spent so much time together, which was rare. I mean, that’s one of the disadvantages of dating someone else in the industry. There are advantages as well: somebody who kind of understands what’s going on with you in a pretty deep way. But yeah, I think she’s like me. She doesn’t take it all too seriously.”
