Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun’s Romance Heats Up with L.A. Gallery Night and Private Dinner
The blossoming relationship between Emmy-nominated actress Sydney Sweeney and renowned music mogul Scooter Braun continues to capture headlines, with the couple recently seen enjoying an intimate evening in Los Angeles. On Tuesday, September 30, the pair, whose romance has been quietly developing since early last month, showcased their affection as they departed the prestigious David Kordansky Gallery hand-in-hand, surrounded by friends.
Sweeney, celebrated for her roles in “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” and Braun, the powerhouse behind numerous music careers, later transitioned to a private dinner. Photographers captured the duo making a somewhat discreet exit, with Sweeney, 28, reportedly slipping out a back exit to join Braun, 44, in their waiting vehicle, underscoring their desire for privacy amidst growing public interest. For the outing, Sweeney opted for a chic, edgy look, sporting a heavy black leather jacket over jean shorts, complemented by black boots and a striking large red purse. Braun maintained a more casual demeanor in a white long-sleeved top, khakis, and a baseball cap.
A Rapidly Developing Connection
Their connection, first reported by PEOPLE on September 2 as “casual dating,” has evidently progressed rapidly. Insiders close to the couple suggest a strong foundation. “They have a lot in common and neither one of them cares what others think,” a source recently shared with PEOPLE, highlighting a shared independent spirit. This sentiment is echoed by Sweeney’s inner circle, who are reportedly “really happy about this relationship,” finding “such a relief to see her genuinely happy.” The relationship gained further traction when Braun celebrated Sweeney’s 27th birthday on September 12, an event confirming their growing closeness. A source at the time described Braun as “easy to be around and an intriguing guy.”
New Chapters for Both Stars
This new chapter follows a significant period for both individuals. Sweeney recently ended her engagement to restaurateur Jonathan Davino, to whom she was linked since 2018, with their split confirmed in March 2024. Meanwhile, Braun, known for managing global superstars like Justin Bieber, has navigated high-profile professional changes, including a reported $30+ million settlement with Bieber following a financial dispute.
Career Remains a Priority for Sweeney
Despite the burgeoning romance, Sweeney remains intensely focused on her thriving career. The actress is gearing up for a busy period, with a new season of HBO’s “Euphoria” on the horizon, where she will reprise her Emmy-nominated role. Her upcoming film projects include the highly anticipated boxer Christy Martin biopic “Christy,” slated for a November 7 theatrical release, and the movie adaptation of “The Housemaid,” set to hit theaters on December 25. Additionally, Sweeney is preparing to portray screen legend Kim Novak in the upcoming project “Scandalous!” As she balances a flourishing personal life with a demanding professional schedule, Sweeney’s commitment to her craft remains unwavering. “She feels very blessed to have such an amazing career. She’s very focused and super hard-working,” a source emphasized.
