Curious about what makes the bond between Jenna Ortega and Sabrina Carpenter so special? Fans who’ve watched them rise from Disney fame to pop culture icons have always speculated about their off-screen relationship. While both are making waves individually, especially with their striking appearances at the Met Gala 2025, their friendship fascinates many. From music video collaborations to heartfelt interviews, here’s everything to know about their enduring connection.
Is Jenna Ortega friends with Sabrina Carpenter?
Yes, Jenna Ortega and Sabrina Carpenter are real-life friends, and their bond runs deeper than most people realize.
While the exact start of their friendship isn’t known, many believe it dates back to their Disney Channel days. Both actresses starred in Disney projects around the same time, likely crossing paths even before any official collaborations.
Their first collaboration came in 2024 when Ortega appeared in Carpenter’s music video for “Taste,” the opening track of her Short n’ Sweet album. Inspired by the cult horror-comedy Death Becomes Her, it featured Ortega and Carpenter portraying eerie rivals Madeline and Helen in a dramatic, cinematic concept. The surprise crossover thrilled fans, quickly becoming their favorite.
Carpenter later posted a clip from the video, revealing that she had envisioned Ortega in the role from the beginning. “This song is so special to me… I had one person in mind for this and that was the one and only @jennaortega,” she wrote. Sabrina praised Jenna’s talent, saying watching her on-screen was a “dream come true.”
Ortega, during a press tour for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, shared how the video came together so casually. Sabrina had simply texted her the idea. With only one day off in Los Angeles between filming Wednesday season 2 and press duties, Jenna chose to use it to support her longtime friend. “Sabrina has also been so kind and generous towards me even when no one cared… I’ve known her since I was 12,” Ortega said.
Ortega and Carpenter’s friendship clearly thrives on mutual admiration and shared history. After their moment at the Met Gala 2025, many are hoping for even more collaborations between the powerhouse duo.
