Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun's increasingly high-profile romance is drawing fresh scrutiny in Los Angeles, where sources claim the 44-year-old music executive has been 'following [Sydney] around like a puppy dog' and devoting his life to being by theEuphoriastar's side,Star Magazinereports.
The claims, which centre on how intensely Braun is said to be managing the relationship, were made in a series of reports quoting people described as close to Sydney Sweeney's circle.
Sydney Sweeney, 28, spent much of the past year disentangling herself from a long-term relationship with restaurateur and producer Jonathan Davino. The pair were first linked in 2018 and became engaged in November 2022.
Their wedding, initially expected to follow in 2024, was postponed indefinitely in February 2025, with TMZ citing 'busy schedules' and ongoing 'major issues' between them.
By March 2025, People reported that the couple had split, quoting a source who said Sweeney felt overwhelmed by her relationship and wedding plans just as her career was taking off.
Into that space stepped Scooter Braun. According to reports, Sweeney toldThe Timesin May 2025 that she was single and 'loving it,' and has repeatedly said she prefers to keep her love life away from the industry glare.
In a 2022 interview withCosmopolitan, she was unequivocal, 'I don't date people in the spotlight. I don't date actors or musicians or anyone in entertainment because I can just be normal Syd that way and it's easiest.'
Reality has not followed that script. By September 2025, sources were telling US outlets that Sweeney was 'casually hooking up' with Scooter Braun after they met at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding.
One insider told Page Six Braun was 'obsessed' with her from the start, though that language was never publicly confirmed by either party.
By December 2025, unnamed insiders were briefing that Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun were no longer casual. 'Scooter and Sydney are going strong and things between them are great,' one source said at the time.
