Sabrina Carpenter and Joe Keery may have just become the internet’s newest rumored couple. The duo was photographed arriving at the “Saturday Night Live” afterparty in New York, sparking a wave of fan theories online. While there’s no confirmation of a relationship, the appearance added fuel to the existing buzz surrounding the two.
Sabrina Carpenter and Joe Keery at SNL afterparty sparks dating rumors
Rumors began swirling after images surfaced online showing Sabrina Carpenter and Joe Keery arriving separately at the SNL afterparty following Finn Wolfhard’s hosting debut. According to photos shared on Reddit, both stars were seen entering the same venue in New York.
Carpenter, 26, appeared to keep things sleek and glamorous for the night. The “Espresso” singer stepped out in a long black coat trimmed with fuzzy detailing at the collar and sleeves. Keery, 33, opted for a black leather jacket with orange accents over a white button-down shirt and gray jeans.
Keery was in town alongside fellow “Stranger Things” castmates Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin, both of whom attended the SNL taping in support of Wolfhard. While Carpenter wasn’t involved with the show, fans quickly noticed the overlap at the post-show celebration.
Online reactions were swift. The same Reddit post filled with speculation, with users commenting things like, “They’re dating!” and “They honestly would be so cute together.” Others questioned whether the two were actually romantically involved or simply attending the same industry event.
The rumors didn’t come out of nowhere. Rumors around the pair reportedly began last year after both were booked for the 2025 Austin City Limits Music Festival. Keery, who performs music under the name Djo, and Carpenter were both part of the lineup. Fans also pointed to a moment during Carpenter’s set when Keery participated in her playful onstage “arrest” bit.
Adding fuel to the chatter, Carpenter was later spotted attending Keery’s festival performance during the second weekend. Still, fans will have to settle for speculation for now and keep watching for the next possible sighting.
