Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun have taken a major step in their relationship, moving from months of speculation to public confirmation. The 28-year-old actress and the 44-year-old music executive were first linked in the summer of 2025, and their romance appeared to become public in September 2025 when reports described them as casually dating. Since then, the couple has continued to draw attention through a series of visible outings, including date nights in New York City and a late-night visit to Times Square.
The pair were first connected after reportedly meeting at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice in June 2025. Photos of Sweeney and Braun walking together in Italy quickly spread online, prompting early relationship rumors. Although neither of them confirmed the meeting at the time, the sightings fueled growing interest in whether the two were spending time together privately.
Reports suggested that their relationship moved forward in early September 2025, when multiple outlets cited sources claiming the two were dating casually. Soon after, they were photographed on a night out in New York City, adding more credibility to the speculation. As the months progressed, the relationship reportedly became more serious. Holiday photos from Thanksgiving weekend and other public appearances suggested a growing bond, with sources saying the connection had become genuine and unexpected to both.
Their relationship reached a new level of visibility in April 2026 when they went Instagram official after the Stagecoach festival. Both Sweeney and Braun shared photos from the event, effectively confirming what fans and entertainment outlets had been tracking for months. After that public reveal, the couple continued to appear together in New York City during late May 2026, reinforcing that they remain together.
One of the most talked-about recent moments came when Braun posted a video showing the two riding Citi Bikes through Manhattan before stopping in Times Square to see Sweeney’s American Eagle billboard. The clip gave fans a rare glimpse into their private dynamic and further confirmed that the pair are openly spending time together in public.
Before Braun, Sweeney was in a long-term relationship with film producer Jonathan Davino. The two began dating in 2018, became engaged in 2022, and ended their engagement in early 2025. Braun was previously married to entrepreneur Yael Cohen. They married in 2014, share three children, and finalized their divorce in 2022 after separating the year before.
For now, the couple appears to be continuing their relationship with increasing confidence and visibility, while still keeping many personal details private.
