Sabrina Carpenter & Joey King: From Disney Beginnings to Celebrity BFF Goals

BBG News

Sabrina Carpenter and Joey King are rapidly becoming the beloved celebrity duo adored on the internet, with both of them capturing attention globally, all the while nurturing their strong bond of friendship.

For quite some time, the singer from Espresso and the actress known for The Kissing Booth, both aged 25, have maintained a close friendship. They’ve stood by each other during their ascending careers and significant personal milestones.

Supporters are deeply captivated by the strong friendship between these high-profile stars, often referring to it as “an outstanding friendship” or “the epitome of celebrity friendships.

Ever since we were greenhorns in this entertainment realm, forged in the crucible of the Disney Channel, our bond has been unbreakable and unyielding, like a timeless tale spun from golden threads.

In contrast, while Sabrina gained fame with her lead role as Maya Hart in Girl Meets World, Joey initially made her mark by portraying Emily Mason in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, dating back to 2006.

In a chat with Wired, I shared that Sabrina and I crossed paths several years back, specifically at a charitable function. I vividly remember the encounter as Sabrina approached me, introducing herself by saying, “Hello, I’m Sabrina.

However, she explained that it took them several years to get to the strong bond they have now.

She mentioned that it’s quite amusing because we weren’t extremely close for a long time. During the initial years of our friendship, we’d only meet once a year, and it seemed strange to us back then how long it took us to grow as close as we are now.

Later on in 2020, Joey revealed to Rolling Stone that although they had been acquainted for more than ten years, it was approximately four or five years back when they truly became close friends.

In my fervor as a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but share an update with my buddy, Joey, during the interview I was following with that publication. I got so excited that I recorded a video message for him on the spot! Here’s what I said: ‘Heyo Joey, guess what? You just shot me a text, and though I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, I promise to do so shortly!’

You mean a great deal to me. Honestly, I’ve never felt this warm towards anyone else… in this video. I wish you a wonderful day; you look absolutely stunning.

In 2018, Sabrina enlisted the aid of a friend (who happens to be quite gifted) to appear in the music video for her song “Sue Me”. This friend played the role of a supportive companion, helping to boost Sabrina’s spirits.

In her Instagram post yesterday, Joey shared a picture from the filming location and expressed her thanks to the singer, saying in the caption: “Sue Me will be released tomorrow. Thank you for letting me be part of it, Dad Sab.

Back in December 2018, Sabrina told Capital Buzz about her excitement for the possibility of collaborating with Joey on a movie project.

She mentioned that she’s had numerous conversations about this topic lately, as it seems like we could potentially create a comedy in the vein of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

It’s always a blast when we hang out! Creating the Sue Me video was an incredible experience. I can’t believe it took us this long to do something like that together.

Perhaps we need to go ahead and compose it; perhaps we must tackle the entire project. I think it’ll be enjoyable once it’s completed.

Over the last ten years, this pair has shared a strong friendship, but it is only within the past few years that fans have come to appreciate their heartwarming relationship more deeply. This increased awareness can be attributed to the regular, often amusing, public expressions of affection they share on social media.

Friends frequently show up in the comment sections of their stylish Instagram posts, showering each other with abundant compliments.

On Tuesday, Joey was among the early ones to praise Sabrina for her stunning Met Gala outfit, which she showcased in several backstage photos shared by the singer after the event, and which was a custom bodysuit designed by Louis Vuitton.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but express my admiration for the captivating burgundy tuxedo-inspired ensemble you wore, with its graceful train that accentuated every inch of your toned legs to perfection. It left me absolutely smitten, and I found myself uttering, ‘Sabrina, my heart can hardly bear it. I’m simply too enamored by you.’

In March, I couldn’t help but rush to another breathtaking post by Sabrina, and I simply had to express my feelings: “This post draws me in completely.

Sabrina reciprocated her affection for Joey in January, commenting on his Instagram post featuring his bleached eyebrows at the W Magazine’s Annual Best Performances Party. Her comment, filled with admiration, read: “It’s just plain rude to look this good without eyebrows.

Over time, fans have grown increasingly enamored with the heartwarming, humorous birthday messages that these two celebrities exchange for one another.

Since 2016, they’ve been celebrating their birthdays in a public way as their birthdays fall just two months apart.

In 2016, Sabrina posted a delightful selfie of them as a pair on her birthday wish for Joey, saying, “Happy birthday, my apple to pie.” In response, Joey reciprocated in 2019 with another captivating photo and witty caption, “Oh, how much I adore you, you silly chicken head. Happy birthday.

Over the past few years, the pair have been increasing their playful banter quite a bit. Most notably, Joey celebrated Sabrina’s 21st birthday by sharing a picture of them on social media, with only half of Sabrina’s face visible in the snapshot.

2021 marked the moment when the actress from Bullet Train posted a picture of herself wearing one of Sabrina’s “Thinking Nonsense” T-shirts, accompanied by the comment: ‘I’m so fortunate your merchandise ended up on my chest. Happy birthday @sabrinacarpenter’.

Sabrina humorously acknowledged her friend’s birthday with a series of comical posts, one of which featured a photo of a trash can and captions like: “The day you were born, the world was doomed. Happy birthday, my cherub.

She had everyone laughing when she posted a picture of them on her Stories for her birthday, with the caption: “Happy Birthday Joey! Thanks for borrowing my car and crashing it, calling my eyebrows live caterpillars, dating my brother, and then giving me a kick behind the Outback Steakhouse!

‘i love you through it all and we can get through this. I know deep down you are the worst person.’

In September 2023, it was evident how strong their connection was as Joey married her husband, Steven Piet, on the beautiful island of Mallorca. Notably, Sabrina stood by her side during the wedding ceremony.

At the wedding, the artist from Taste sang a melody as the bride walked towards her partner, going so far as to learn to sing in Swedish to play the song “Tjugonde” by the Swedish band Amason.

In an interview for Vogue during their wedding, Joey shared: “I’m not sure I can express in words how significant it was for Sabrina to sing for us as we walked down the aisle.

‘The song we chose was in Swedish… Sabrina does not speak Swedish… Sabrina must really love me.’

After their wedding ceremony, Sabrina posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, addressing Joey as her spouse, accompanied by pictures capturing moments of them hugging and dancing during the celebration.

She wrote: ‘My wife tied the knot, leaving me in tears. I couldn’t help but feel incredibly fortunate to witness such a beautiful moment @joeyking @stevenpiet, as I adore both of you deeply! Many congratulations on your love!’

Joey often expresses her backing for Sabrina’s music and acknowledges the incredible heights she reached in her career last year.

At the 2024 NYC Governor’s Ball, she stood by her closest friend during their performance, and afterward, she confessed that she had been tearfully emotional.

In her conversation with PEOPLE, she stated: “Yesterday marked the first occasion in several years that I’ve witnessed her performing, as our busy schedules often don’t align when I try to attend one of her major shows.

‘I literally was sobbing after the show. I was so proud of her. She’s just amazing.’

Joey playfully remarked that Sabrina was rather insistent with her catchy tune and video for “Please, Please, Please,” making it a song he had to hear repeatedly against his will.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I find myself utterly captivated by her journey, and this infectious tune, “Please Please Please,” keeps playing on repeat in my mind. It’s an anthem of joy for her success!

It’s inconsiderate of her to play that song, as it’s catchy and hard to resist. It’s also inconsiderate to produce such an addicting music video. It’s really inconsiderate for her to make me watch it six times at 2:00 a.m., when I’d rather be sleeping.

Honestly, my choice fluctuates almost daily. It’s been quite challenging because I’ve pondered this question every day.

She continued by highlighting some of her favorite tracks, saying, “Let me clarify what I mean – Bed Chem is absolutely fantastic!

The flavor of it has me so captivated, I feel like dancing to it in a club – although, it might not be a club song or could be, I can’t quite tell. Regardless, I’m absolutely hooked on that tune.

She added: ‘Don’t Smile is a perfect song I believe. I fear it is a perfect song.’

Additionally, Joey ensured he was present for Sabrina’s expansive Short and Sweet tour, becoming part of the sea of enthusiastic fans at her Chicago concert in October.

Instead of enjoying the concert from the exclusive VIP area, the Golden Globe nominee opted to join the enthusiastic crowd in the mosh pit, spending the evening there with her nieces and sisters-in-law who were also in attendance.

Posting pictures on social media from her concert, she enthusiastically wrote: “Last night, I was fortunate enough to witness my spouse perform in Chicago, and naturally, I couldn’t help but shed some tears. She’s the tiniest, most adorable pop star I’ve ever encountered.

In reference to a provocative song on Sabrina’s album, she mentioned, ‘She might convince me to be like Juno in that track.’

In a separate Instagram Story post, Joey expressed admiration for her friend by saying, “You’re my brina, absolutely brilliant! Your show was flawless! I feel incredibly fortunate to witness your brilliance shining.

The evening videos depicted the actress grooving and leaping to the tunes of “Please Please Please” and “Good Graces.” Additionally, she escorted her relatives behind the scenes to snap photos with the famous Espresso star.
