The FIFA season is in full swing, and so are the dating rumours about the footballers. The rumoured love interests and WAGs of the players are constantly making headlines. Recently, popstar, Sabrina Carpenter, who is an American national, was seen supporting Ecuador at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. She was cheering enthusiastically from the stands, fuelling rumours that her romantic interest was on the team. As Ecuador takes on Mexico on June 30, 2026 (ET), centre-back, Piero Hincapié has been named her rumoured boyfriend. A post claiming the same has been widely circulated online.
Are Sabrina Carpenter and Piero Hincapié really dating?
Piero Hincapié and Sabrina Carpenter’s dating rumours started after she supported Ecuador in their World Cup match against Germany at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Currently, the team is competing against Mexico to secure their spot in the Round of 16. There haven’t been any signs of the Espresso singer in the audience; however, it hasn’t stopped the chatter about her link-up with Piero. Recently, an X (formerly Twitter) post by The Touchmine claimed to have gotten insider information regarding the footballer and the singer’s secret romance.
Fans were utterly surprised to see the post, which claimed to have obtained the information from TMZ. The public immediately headed to the media outlet’s page to check for any information related to Sabrina and Piero’s dating buzz. However, they found out that there was none, and the report on the X page was unfounded. There is no credible source for the information shared by the original poster; however, fans wondered why Piero Hincapié was chosen instead of other Ecuadorian players to start a dating rumour with Sabrina Carpenter.
Who are Sabrina Carpenter and Piero Hincapié’s respective real partners?
Both Sabrina Carpenter and Piero Hincapié broke up with their respective partners and are currently reported to be single. It was one of the reasons for the duo being linked up, as they are both fresh off heartbreak. Sabrina and her ex-boyfriend, Barry Keoghan, sparked dating rumours in 2023, and a year later, they announced their split. Sabrina and Barry was a beloved couple who even attended the Met Gala 2024 together, following which they went on a double date with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Well, Barry played the on-screen beau of Sabrina in her music video, Please Please Please.
Following that, reports claimed that Sabrina and Barry had decided to take a break from their relationship. However, Barry continued to comment on Sabrina’s social media, while hinting that their romance was ongoing. At that time, sources claimed that Barry’s ‘party lifestyle’ was getting in the way of his relationship with Sabrina. The insider also stated that the Irish actor’s behaviour after drinking was becoming frustrating to her, leading her to call it quits. Amid these speculations, the duo’s minimal mutual support posts almost convinced fans that they had split.
Coming to Sabrina Carpenter’s recent link-up, Piero Hincapié, he recently had a highly publicised breakup with Spanish influencer and model, Aura de la Cruz in June 2026. Aura confirmed their split through a social media post during Ecuador’s 2026 World Cup campaign. She stated that there has been too much prying in her and Piero’s relationship, and she was facing unnecessary online harassment.
Aura de la Cruz stated that her post aimed to end criticism of her bond with Piero. According to her, the decision to end their relationship was mutual and unrelated to his winning or losing football matches. Notably, it is not known exactly when they started dating, as rumours of the romance began just a month before their breakup.
