The Truth Behind the Sabrina and Corey Dating Rumors: Co-Star Chemistry vs. Reality
The persistent rumors that Sabrina Carpenter and Corey Fogelmanis were dating began shortly after Girl Meets World premiered, and they reached a fever pitch around 2018 and 2019. This speculation was rooted in three main factors, all of which point back to their professional and social media lives, not a romantic relationship.
1. Explosive On-Screen Chemistry as Maya and Farkle
On Girl Meets World, the characters Maya Hart (Sabrina) and Farkle Minkus (Corey) shared a deep, evolving bond that often blurred the lines between friendship and potential romance, especially as the show progressed and Farkle matured. This on-screen dynamic led many fans, known as "shippers," to project their hopes onto the actors in real life.
2. Frequent and Playful Social Media Interaction
Unlike many co-stars who drift apart after a show ends, Sabrina and Corey maintained a highly visible and affectionate friendship on social media. Photos of them holding hands, sharing intimate moments, and posting lengthy, sweet birthday messages to each other consistently went viral, feeding the dating narrative.
3. Explicit Confirmation of Their "Best Friend" Status
Despite the constant fan pressure, both Sabrina and Corey have repeatedly clarified their relationship status. In a definitive statement, Sabrina has made it clear that "nothing romantic is going on" between her and her fellow *Girl Meets World* alum. Their bond is that of "longtime best friends," a relationship that has endured through major career shifts and personal milestones for over a decade.
From Disney Channel to Pop Culture Icons: Their Most Recent Reunions
What makes their friendship so compelling is their commitment to supporting each other's post-Disney careers. The recent public reunions serve as a powerful reminder of their loyalty and the lasting legacy of the Girl Meets World cast.
The 2024 "Arrest" at the New York City Concert
One of the most viral moments of 2024 occurred when Sabrina Carpenter brought Corey Fogelmanis on stage during her New York City concert. In a playful nod to her music and their enduring friendship, Sabrina "arrested" Corey using a pair of pink fuzzy handcuffs as her song "Manchild" played. This moment was a massive hit with fans, blending Sabrina's current pop superstar persona with a beloved piece of Disney Channel nostalgia.
The 2025 Movie Premiere Support
The most recent and significant reunion happened in early 2025 when Sabrina attended the premiere of Corey’s new film, I Wish You All The Best. This gesture of support—a major pop star taking time out of her busy schedule to attend a co-star's independent film premiere—speaks volumes about the depth of their bond. It highlighted their transition from teen stars to adult actors and reinforced their shared history.
The Enduring 'Girl Meets World' Legacy
Sabrina Carpenter and Corey Fogelmanis are not just two actors who worked together; they are part of a tight-knit ensemble that includes Rowan Blanchard (Riley Matthews) and Peyton Meyer (Lucas Friar). Their friendship symbolizes the best of the Disney Channel era, demonstrating that genuine connections can outlast a television series. Their public support for each other, whether through viral TikToks set to Sabrina's music or showing up for a major film role, ensures that the magic of Girl Meets World continues to resonate with fans old and new. They are, simply put, the definition of professional and personal best friends in Hollywood.
