A viral social media post claiming that singer Sabrina Carpenter is dating Ecuador footballer Piero Hincapié has been found to be false. The claim spread widely on X after a post from football account @TouchmineX linked the pair and cited TMZ as the source, but no such TMZ report exists.
The rumor appears to have started from online speculation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and gained attention despite lacking any factual basis. Sabrina Carpenter attended Ecuador’s World Cup match against Germany at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which led to speculation about her relationship with Piero Hincapié.
However, TMZ has not published any report linking Carpenter and Hincapié, and there has been no statement from Carpenter, Hincapié, or their representatives suggesting that the rumor is true.
At the moment, Sabrina Carpenter is not publicly linked to anyone, and Piero Hincapié has been one of Ecuador’s key players during the World Cup, having recently ended his relationship with Spanish influencer Aura de la Cruz.
The rumor follows a pattern often seen during major sporting events, where celebrity appearances spark theories that spread rapidly across social media.
