The Short Answer: Sydney Sweeney Is Dating Scooter Braun
confirmed — Sydney Sweeney's boyfriend is Scooter Braun. Sweeney, 29 (born September 12, 1997), the Euphoria and Anyone But You star, has been with Braun, 45 (born June 18, 1981), since 2025. This is not a fling: they have been photographed together for well over a year, post each other on Instagram, travel with his children, and Braun marked her 29th birthday on September 12, 2026 with an emotional public tribute.
Who is Scooter Braun? He is one of the music industry's best-known executives — the former manager of Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, founder of SB Projects — and, relevantly, a divorced father of three. He married Yael Cohen in 2014 and filed for divorce in 2021; they share two sons, Jagger and Levi, and a daughter, Hart. Sweeney has been photographed spending time with Braun's children, a sign of how embedded the relationship has become.
The relationship began casually. A People source said that when they met, Sweeney had just ended her engagement and was not looking for a relationship — she planned to travel and spend time with family. But the chemistry surprised them both: she was drawn to how Braun understood her work and supported it from the beginning, and what started as casual became, in the source's words, a genuinely happy partnership.
Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun: Relationship Timeline
| When | What happened | Status |
|---|---|---|
| June 2025 | First linked after meeting during the Bezos–Sánchez wedding festivities in Venice, Italy. They begin dating later in 2025, after Sweeney ends her engagement to Jonathan Davino. | confirmed |
| December 2025 | Sources describe the relationship as serious. | confirmed |
| April 2026 | Instagram official. The couple goes public on social media; Braun accompanies Sweeney to the Euphoria season 3 premiere in Los Angeles. | confirmed |
| Summer 2026 | Jet-skiing in the Mediterranean, bungee jumping in New Zealand, the Venice Film Festival (Sweeney attended as an Armani Beauty ambassador) — frequently photographed holding hands. | confirmed |
| September 2026 | Return to Venice, where they first met. September 12: Braun posts an emotional public birthday tribute for Sweeney's 29th birthday. | confirmed |
| October 2026 | Sweeney shares a Lake Powell, Arizona boat-trip carousel ("when your man takes you to the moon"), including photos with Braun. Page Six reports she has met with two rabbis about a possible conversion to Judaism and that the couple is discussing children. | Outing confirmed; conversion & kids talk rumor |
The October 2026 reports deserve careful handling, because they are the most sensational claims in this story — and the least confirmed. Page Six reported that Sweeney met with two rabbis as she "seriously considers" converting to Judaism, that the couple attended Rosh Hashanah services at Temple Sholom in Greenwich, Connecticut, that Braun — who reportedly calls Sweeney "the modern Marilyn Monroe" — hopes to propose within six months, and that the two are discussing having a family.
Who Did Sydney Sweeney Date Before Scooter Braun?
Before Braun, Sweeney's significant relationship was with businessman Jonathan Davino. The two were together for several years and engaged — the engagement dated to 2022 — before Sweeney ended it in 2025, shortly before meeting Braun. Unlike many celebrity splits, this one stayed mostly out of the tabloids; Sweeney has never publicly discussed the reasons.
The Davino chapter matters because it explains the Braun timeline: Sweeney entered the Venice summer of 2025 newly single and explicitly not looking for anything serious. That she ended up in the most public relationship of her life anyway is part of why the story has fascinated the press.
Earlier in her career, Sweeney kept her dating life almost entirely private — the Davino relationship itself was low-profile for years before the engagement became public. The Braun relationship is, by far, her most visible romance: joint Instagram posts, red carpets, family vacations with his kids.
Engagement, Conversion, Kids: What's Confirmed vs. Rumor
This is the section that separates this article from the gossip blogs. Here is the October 2026 ledger:
- Sweeney and Braun are a couple — confirmed. Over a year of sightings, Instagram posts, shared travel, and time with his children.
- An engagement — rumor. No proposal has been announced. The "propose within six months" claim comes from a single Page Six source.
- Conversion to Judaism — rumor. Page Six reports she met with two rabbis and attended Rosh Hashanah services. Sweeney has made no public statement confirming a conversion, and there is no confirmation of an engagement, a wedding, or a baby.
- Talking about children — rumor. "The couple is discussing having their own family, and Scooter feels strongly on the subject," per a Page Six source. Unconfirmed by either party.
Bottom line: Sydney Sweeney is dating Scooter Braun — that much is confirmed and well-documented. Everything about proposals, conversions, and babies is, as of October 2026, sourced gossip. Check back; if any of it becomes real, it will be announced by the couple, not by an unnamed "insider."
Sweeney Inc.: Why This Relationship Changed Her Headlines
The Braun relationship did not just change Sweeney's dating status — it changed her press coverage. Before 2025, Sweeney's headlines were about her work: Euphoria, Anyone But You's box office, her Fifty-Fifty Films production company. After Venice 2025, a second beat appeared: the boyfriend, the rabbis, the baby talk. (The photo above shows Sweeney at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival — the last full festival season before her personal life became the story.)
Some of the discourse has been lazy — fixating on the 16-year age gap (she is 29, he is 45) rather than the relationship's actual dynamics. What the reporting actually describes is more interesting: a woman who just ended an engagement choosing a partner two decades into his career, a father of three, someone who understands the machinery of fame from the executive side. A People source said she fell for how Braun understood her work and supported it from the beginning — not a trivial thing for an actress whose career is also a business empire in the making.
The blended-family dimension is the part to watch. Sweeney has been photographed spending time with Braun's three children — Jagger, Levi, and Hart — and the October 2026 "discussing a family" reports, rumor though they are, point at the real question hanging over this couple: does the next chapter include kids of their own? As of October 2026, that remains sourced speculation. But the fact that Sweeney is already a familiar presence in his children's lives is confirmed — and in celebrity relationships, that is usually the signal that matters most.
For readers keeping score: the confirmed facts are the relationship, the timeline, and the family blending. The unconfirmed claims are the proposal timeline, the conversion, and the baby plans. That distinction is the entire point of this article — and it is why the next real development in this story will come from Sweeney or Braun directly, not from an unnamed source.
