Sydney Sweeney’s (28) Sweet Birthday Message for Boyfriend Scooter Braun (45) Has Fans Convinced They’re the Real Deal
Sydney Sweeney has never been one to broadcast her love life loudly, but lately the ‘Euphoria’ star seems to be doing things differently. Her relationship with music executive Scooter Braun has slowly moved from quiet sightings to full public displays of affection, and fans have been watching every step of it unfold.
The two were first linked back in September 2025, when they were spotted together in Venice around the time of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding. Sweeney and Braun were first linked after they were spotted walking around Italy just prior to Bezos and Sánchez exchanging vows. What started as casual outings soon turned into something that insiders described as increasingly serious.
That backdrop makes Sweeney’s latest gesture land even harder. The 28 year old actress took to social media to celebrate Braun’s 45th birthday, describing him as a once in a lifetime man and thanking him for making her smile again. The tribute included two photos, one of Sweeney kissing Braun’s cheek and another showing the pair dancing together on a basketball court.
The caption itself read like something straight out of a rom com script. Sweeney praised Braun’s biggest heart and thanked him for all the living room dances and making her smile again, adding that a good man is rare before calling him once in a lifetime. It is a far cry from the more guarded posts she has shared in past relationships.
This was not the only celebration Braun received this month either. Sweeney reportedly threw her boyfriend a star studded early birthday party in Santa Monica, with Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson and Jessica Alba among the guests, plus a surprise performance from Warren G. According to an insider, Warren G performed his hit “Regulate,” which happens to be Braun’s favorite song.
The relationship has reportedly been deepening behind the scenes as well. Braun, who has been dating Sweeney since September of last year, is said to have told her he loved her just last weekend, according to the same report detailing her birthday tribute. For two people who once kept things deliberately low key, that is a significant shift.
It is worth remembering that this is a notably different chapter for Sweeney. She was previously in a relationship with businessman Jonathan Davino from 2018 until the pair called off their engagement in early 2025. Moving from a seven year engagement into a new, very public romance within the same year has clearly given fans plenty to talk about.
Braun, for his part, seems unbothered by the attention his relationship with one of Hollywood’s most in demand actresses has brought him. He reportedly finds the headlines comical and seems unfazed, even finding the coverage funny, according to a source close to the couple. That kind of ease may be exactly what is fueling the relationship’s steady momentum.
Between the lavish birthday party, the heartfelt tribute and the reported “L word” moment, Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun seem to be entering a new, more serious phase of their relationship right in front of everyone’s eyes. Do you think this birthday tribute confirms Sweeney and Braun are headed toward something even more permanent?
