Sydney Sweeney Seen Cozy With Scooter Braun Following “Single” Remarks

Sydney Sweeney has been the subject of intense media scrutiny lately, but she seems to be leaning into the attention rather than running from it. The 28-year-old actress was recently spotted on a casual stroll in Brentwood with her new beau, music executive Scooter Braun, 44. The pair, who have been linked since fall 2025, appeared comfortable and coordinated in matching white tops and denim as they walked arm-in-arm through the Los Angeles neighborhood.

This outing follows Sweeney’s revealing cover story for Cosmopolitan, where she addressed everything from her “hateful person” label to her specific requirements for a partner. Athletic and outgoing and funny, she noted when describing her ideal match. I’m a sporty girl, so someone needs to be able to climb a mountain with me, go skydiving with me. She also emphasized the importance of family values, though she was quick to assert her own independence.

Look, I am a boss in my life. I take control. I go after what I want, she told the magazine. I am confident, and I am successful, and I don’t actually need a man. Despite this, she acknowledged the difficulty of finding someone who can handle the intense spotlight that follows her. It takes a very specific person who can handle the world that comes with me, she shared, noting that a previous love interest once admitted he couldn’t manage the pressure.

The actress also touched on her split from her longtime fiancé, Jonathan Davino, 41. The pair had been together for seven and a half years before calling off their engagement in early 2025, just months before their planned May wedding. Sweeney explained that she had purposefully kept that relationship private for years. I think it’s important to have some things for myself, she said, reflecting on a decade spent with her head down, focused entirely on her career.

Now in her late 20s, Sweeney seems ready to embrace a new era of visibility. For all of my 20s, I put my head down and focused on work—and now I want to experience things, she admitted. She confessed that navigating love in the public eye is a challenge she is still figuring out. After her split from Davino, rumors briefly swirled regarding her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell, but those were put to rest when she began appearing alongside Braun following the high-profile Bezos-Sanchez wedding in June.

Sweeney remains one of the busiest stars in Hollywood, with her gritty boxing biopic Christy and thriller The Housemaid released recently. She is also set to star in the sci-fi reboot Barbarella and the psychological thriller, and a sequel to The Housemaid, The Housemaid’s Secret. As she continues to dominate both the box office and the tabloids, it is clear that “Normal Syd” is a version of herself she is fighting hard to maintain.
