Hollywood’s Newest Buzz: Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun’s Casual Romance
Hollywood is abuzz with reports of a burgeoning romance between acclaimed actress Sydney Sweeney and powerhouse music executive Scooter Braun. The 28-year-old “Euphoria” and “Anyone But You” star has been “casually hooking up” with Braun, 44, known for managing global sensations like Justin Bieber, according to multiple sources.
The pair’s connection first surfaced publicly in June when they were both guests at the lavish wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice, Italy. Insiders noted that Sweeney was “intrigued” by Braun at the high-profile event, describing him as “a charmer,” “confident, but also sweet and very attentive.” This initial interaction set the stage for their continued encounters.
PEOPLE magazine first reported their casual dating on September 2, revealing that their bond had deepened. Shortly after, the duo was seen spending Labor Day weekend together at Lake Tahoe along the California-Nevada border. The reports were further cemented when a source close to Sweeney confirmed to PEOPLE that she “had a great time celebrating her birthday with” Braun on September 12, as she marked her 28th year. “She’s having fun with Scooter and enjoys dating him,” the source added, noting Braun is “easy to be around and an intriguing guy.”
Sweeney Shines at the Emmy Awards
Despite the apparent enjoyment, sources close to Sweeney emphasize that the actress is not seeking a committed relationship at this time. “He’s not really her type, but she enjoyed the attention,” one insider commented on their dynamic. Another source on September 3 underscored Sweeney’s unwavering dedication to her professional life. “She’s been clear about her goals for this year — it’s all about her career,” the insider stated. “She’s ambitious and very focused. She wants to make the most of every work opportunity that comes her way.” Indeed, Sweeney has a busy schedule ahead, with the boxing biopic “Christy” slated for a November 7 release and “The Housemaid” arriving on December 19.
Navigating Life Post-Significant Relationships
Both Sweeney and Braun are navigating life post-significant relationships. Sweeney broke off her engagement to Jonathan Davino, 42, in March, after a seven-year partnership. Braun, conversely, finalized his divorce from Yael Cohen in 2022, following their separation in 2021 after seven years of marriage. They share three children: sons Jagger, 10, and Levi, 8, along with daughter Hart, 6.
As their casual relationship unfolds, the focus for Sweeney remains firmly on her thriving acting career, a testament to her disciplined and hardworking nature. The entertainment world watches keenly as this unexpected pairing continues to spend time together, blending Hollywood glamour with the music industry’s power circles.
