Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun looked more than friendly as they stepped out together this past weekend in Los Angeles. The pair held hands and laughed while visiting Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights, clearly enjoying each other’s company.
Sweeney wasn’t alone. Her parents, Lisa and Steven, joined the outing, while the group was surrounded by five security guards and VIP tour guides, ensuring their day remained private. The sighting has sparked speculation among fans and insiders that the relationship between the actress and the music mogul is more serious than casual.
“Everyone notices how often they see each other,” a source said. “They talk daily and spend a lot of time together. It’s hot and heavy. You can feel the chemistry. It’s either love or something very close to it.”
The source added that the pair complement each other perfectly. Sweeney, known for her breakout roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, has a vibrant energy, while Braun, 44, is described as an “old soul” who guides her through the whirlwind of sudden fame.
Casual Outing with Celebrity Flair
The duo coordinated their casual looks, both sporting grey sweatshirts and baseball caps. Sydney wore her signature long blonde hair in side braids, paired with sparkling diamond studs. Braun kept things low-key in his usual style.
The couple navigated the theme park with ease, strolling past haunted houses and spooky attractions as they laughed together. Before heading into the Halloween festivities, they had dinner at Buca di Beppo in Universal’s CityWalk, keeping the evening relaxed and low-profile.
The Beginning of a High-Profile Romance
Sydney and Scooter’s romance first caught attention after meeting at the lavish wedding of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos in Italy on June 27. By most accounts, the pair have been spending time together almost daily since then, with insiders noting that Braun has been “obsessed” with the actress, taking her on date after date across Los Angeles.
The couple was spotted again on Wednesday night, enjoying dinner at Jon & Vinny’s in Brentwood. Sweeney kept her look casual but stylish, wearing a dark top, shorts that showcased her toned legs, and calf-high boots. Braun was equally understated in a white long-sleeved T-shirt and glasses. They left together in a black SUV, a rare public moment of closeness.
Love or Lust? Friends Say They’re Serious
Friends close to the couple suggest that their connection goes deeper than a casual fling. “They have what each other wants,” one insider said. “She’s stunning, and he’s wise beyond his years. He gives her advice, guidance, and support while she brings excitement and energy into his life.”
While neither Sweeney nor Braun has publicly confirmed the romance, their outings and shared moments suggest that the relationship has moved quickly. Reports have also surfaced claiming the pair may have been close since April, attending Lana Del Rey’s Coachella set together, though that has yet to be verified.
Past Relationships and Personal Growth
Sydney recently ended her engagement to Jonathan Davino in March. Braun, on the other hand, divorced Yael Cohen in July 2021 after seven years of marriage. He is a father to three children: Jagger, nine, Levi, seven, and Hart, five.
The music mogul has been open about the challenges he faced during his divorce. Speaking on The Diary Of A CEO podcast, Braun revealed he battled suicidal thoughts amid the breakup. “October of 2020, my marriage was falling apart. The world thought I was crushing it, but I wasn’t,” he said. Braun explained that he briefly considered ending his life, fearing he couldn’t maintain the perfect image while being there for his children. He ultimately overcame those dark thoughts and has since used his experiences to better understand himself.
Sydney Sweeney’s Career on the Rise
While her love life draws attention, Sweeney has been fully focused on her career. She is preparing for a major role as real-life boxer Christy Martin in the upcoming film Christy. Sweeney immersed herself in the role, training extensively and refusing to use a stunt double for the boxing scenes.
“Every punch you see on screen is real,” Sweeney told Vanity Fair. “We go full force. You can’t make it feel real otherwise.” She described Martin’s story as both harrowing and inspiring, saying it motivated her to push herself physically and emotionally for the part.
The actress has seen a meteoric rise in recent years, but she remains candid about adjusting to her new level of fame. In a 2023 interview with ES Magazine, she admitted, “I’m still navigating it on a daily basis. I want to be open and authentic to the public, but I also want to protect my own peace.”
Sweeney explained that balancing public life with personal privacy remains a challenge. “I’m a very private person when it comes to family and relationships,” she said. “I want people to know me, but I also deserve my own life.”
Fans React to the Couple
Social media buzzed after the Universal Studios outing. Fans praised the pair for their easy chemistry and playful energy. Many pointed out how natural they seemed together, noting that even amidst flashing cameras and public attention, they focused entirely on each other.
It seems both Sweeney and Braun are navigating this new chapter carefully. While the actress is focused on her career and maintaining her private life, Braun balances fatherhood with his role as a high-profile music manager. Together, they appear to have found a connection that blends romance with mutual respect and understanding.
A Look Ahead
As Sweeney steps further into her career spotlight and Braun continues to manage some of the biggest names in music, their relationship is already drawing attention. With multiple public outings, coordinated appearances, and insiders hinting at a serious romance, it’s clear the pair are not keeping things casual.
Whether this relationship grows into something lasting or remains a high-profile Hollywood romance, fans will undoubtedly keep watching. For now, Sweeney and Braun seem happy to simply enjoy each other’s company, whether navigating the thrills of a haunted theme park or quietly sharing moments over Italian dinner.
For the actress who has conquered Euphoria and continues to challenge herself in new roles, and for the music mogul who has faced his own dark chapters, their pairing feels like a collision of passion, ambition, and support—exactly what Hollywood romance thrives on.
