Sydney Sweeney Sparks New Romance Buzz As She Clings To Mystery Hunk On Jet Ski

Hollywood sweetheart Sydney Sweeney is stirring up romance chatter after being seen holding tight to a handsome mystery man during a lake day by jet ski.

Since calling off her engagement to Jonathan Davino in March 2025, the "Anyone But You" actress has been quietly embracing single life.

Now, with her fresh freedom and a sun-soaked outing in Idaho, many are wondering who the mystery man is, as their chemistry was hard to ignore.

On Friday, July 25, Sweeney was photographed jet‑skiing in northern Idaho with a well-built mystery man wrapped around her waist.

Images obtained by the Daily Mail showed the "Euphoria" star enjoying the summer breeze and smiling from ear to ear as she got close to the mystery man.

The 27-year-old donned a black one-piece swimsuit with a low-cut neckline that accentuated her cleavage.

Sweeney paired the simple look with sunglasses and stud earrings. She also wore a life jacket as she hit the waters with her new rumored partner.

One of the photos showed the pair on a jet ski with Sweeney sitting in front and the man's arms tightly wrapped around her waist.

In another picture, the duo wandered off into another corner, where they engaged in some rope swinging.

Sydney Sweeney and the man's bond seemed more than just platonic as he smiled heartily and encouraged her as she jumped off the cliff and dived into the water.

Besides enjoying a lovely jet ski day with her rumored new love interest, they also had fun at Sweeney's lakeside home in Idaho.

The movie star purchased the property for her mother after it was lost in foreclosure despite being in the family for generations.

In some of the snaps capturing their time together, the mystery hunk wore swim trunks, sneakers, and life vests.

He was photographed on multiple occasions staring at Sweeney with a big smile on his face.

Sweeney's recent outing comes amid backlash due to her newest ad campaign with American Eagle.

On July 23, the retailer unveiled the actress as the face of their new fall denim campaign titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans."

The campaign featured multiple videos and pictures of Sweeney wearing different denim pieces she helped design, including a special pair called The Sydney Jean, which features cute butterfly designs.

The Sydney Jean is priced at $89.95 and will go directly to Crisis Text Line, a charity that offers confidential mental health support to victims of domestic abuse.

Despite the campaign's good cause, one video sparked a controversy.

In the clip, Sweeney joked about her "genes" being responsible for her bodily features, while the camera panned down to her chest. "Hey! Eyes up here," she then cheekily said before laughing.

Fans trooped to social media to call out the campaign as they felt the tagline "great jeans," which plays on the phrase "great genes," was racially insensitive.

Critics said it echoed old ideas of white superiority, especially since Sydney Sweeney is a blonde, blue-eyed woman.

"The Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad campaign is just modern day Nazi propaganda. Like it's wild how blatant it is. Things are weird right now, man," one person shared.

On TikTok, an account @vital_media_marketing also shared their thoughts.

"As it's panning up her body and on her face and her features, she's literally talking about her family tree and the genetics that have been handed down to her, her blonde hair and her blue eyes, and how great they are."

They continued, noting that "praising Sydney Sweeney for her great genes in the context of her white blonde hair, blue eye appearance" makes for "one of the loudest and most obvious racialized dog whistles we've seen and heard in a while."

On the other hand, some fans rushed to Sweeney's defense and praised the campaign ad, calling it genius.

"Jeans / Genes. The genius bit is that the phrase has two meanings. Apart from jeans, the phrase can also mean 'Sydney Sweeney has great Genes.' If you pair that phrase with beautiful models in jeans, both meanings are true," one fan shared.

Another commented, "Sydney Sweeney for American Eagle is such a perfect match. She's got that 'cool girl next door' vibe that makes even basic tees and jeans look iconic. After Euphoria and Anyone But You, she's basically mastered the art of making casual look iconic."
