Sydney Sweeney hosted an early birthday celebration for her boyfriend, Scooter Braun, in Santa Monica, California, on Saturday night, marking his upcoming 45th birthday on June 18. The party drew a notable guest list that included Jessica Alba, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, according to a report. An insider said the event featured a basketball hoop and a live performance by Warren G, who sang “Regulate,” one of Braun’s favorite songs.
Sweeney and Braun were photographed wearing matching Connecticut Flame basketball jerseys with the number 45, a nod to Braun’s milestone birthday. The pair have been dating since September 2025, after first connecting months earlier at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Venice, Italy, in June 2025. Since then, they have been increasingly public about their relationship, often appearing together at date nights and other outings in Los Angeles.
The couple recently made their romance Instagram-official with photos from the 2026 Stagecoach Music Festival in April. In the post, Sweeney could be seen on Braun’s shoulders while they watched a performance from the audience. Other images showed Braun holding Sweeney in his arms and the two posing in a photo booth. Sweeney also shared clips of the pair line dancing, captioning one moment “cowboy kind of weekend.”
Braun has also arranged special outings for Sweeney. Last month, he took her to Times Square in New York City for what she said was her first visit there. Braun posted a video of the two heading into the area late at night, noting that Sweeney had said she had never been to Times Square. The couple rode rental bikes through the city before arriving at the tourist spot, with Sweeney dressed casually in a hoodie and sunglasses as she smiled among the crowd.
The birthday party and recent public appearances suggest the relationship between Sweeney and Braun has become more visible in recent months. With celebrity guests, a surprise musical performance and playful shared moments, the celebration highlighted the couple’s growing presence on the social scene.
