Stranger Things actor Joe Keery and pop star Sabrina Carpenter are the latest celebrities to spark dating rumours.

While speculation about their romantic relationship has been circulating for some time, the two were recently spotted arriving at the Saturday Night Live after-party in New York City. Although Joe and Sabrina arrived separately, the ‘Espresso’ singer’s presence piqued fans’ curiosity.

Photos and videos shared on social media captured Sabrina Carpenter stepping out of a car while being photographed by the paparazzi. She wore a long black coat and looked stunning. Meanwhile, Joe Keery arrived at the event dressed in a black leather jacket and grey jeans, accessorised with a knit hat and sunglasses, exuding his usual cool demeanour.

Neither star has confirmed the relationship rumours.

The buzz around them began on October 4, 2025, at Austin City Limits. Sabrina spotted Joe, known for Stranger Things and his music persona Djo, in the crowd. She jokingly said onstage, “Joe, it’s actually cuffing season; I don’t know if you know that,” while handing him pink handcuffs, and he eagerly extended his wrists.

The playful moment quickly went viral, with Sabrina later dedicating her song “Juno” to him. Just days later, on October 10, she made an appearance at Joe's Djo set during ACL Fest Nights, further fueling the rumours.
