Sydney Sweeney Sparks New Romance With Music Mogul Months After Jonathan Davino Split

Hollywood has a brand-new power couple, as rumors are swirling that Sydney Sweeney is dating music mogul Scooter Braun, marking one of the most unexpected celebrity pairings of the year. The 27-year-old "Euphoria" actress and the 44-year-old talent manager, best known for launching the careers of Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, have reportedly quietly started seeing each other after being spotted together in Europe earlier this summer. The relationship is already turning heads in both Hollywood and the music industry, not only because of the couple’s age difference but also because both have been in the headlines for their past romances. Sydney Sweeney only recently ended her long-term engagement, while Scooter Braun has kept a relatively low dating profile since his high-profile divorce.

A source told Star that Braun has quietly been sharing the news of his relationship with Sweeney with those closest to him, while asking them to keep things under wraps for the time being. The timing comes just months after Sweeney ended her years-long romance with Jonathan Davino, whom she began dating in 2018. The pair got engaged but ultimately called off their wedding plans in February before officially splitting in April.

Before the split, Sweeney was caught in the middle of romance rumors with her "Anyone But You" co-star Glen Powell after their off-screen chemistry sparked headlines. She shut down the speculation during her March 2024 "Saturday Night Live" hosting gig, joking that the buzz was “obviously not true.”

Months later, Sweeney once again addressed the romance rumors, telling Variety, "It’s a rom-com. That’s what people want! Glen and I don’t really care. We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he’s such a hard worker, and I’m a hard worker."

In a candid interview on the "Too Much" podcast with influencer Emma Klipstein, released June 10, Paris revealed that her three-year relationship with Powell began to unravel months before their split was confirmed in April 2023.

Without naming Powell or Sweeney directly, Paris referenced the speculation, admitting that the rumors made her feel cornered. “I had two options. I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, ‘Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this?’ Or stand up for myself and say, ‘No, I’m actually not okay with this, and I’m walking away.’ So that’s what I decided to do … I was shattered.”

The model said she simply wanted “respect,” but felt humiliated. “Don’t make a fool out of someone you’ve been with for over three years talking about forever with. Just have some decency.”

Paris also criticized Powell for never shutting down the rumors surrounding him and Sweeney, saying, “Where are you when you just need to stand up and say, ‘No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn’t do that.’ That’s all that needed to be said. And that wasn’t said … Never once.”

More recently, she was linked to Machine Gun Kelly after the two were spotted together at the grand opening of Las Vegas’ Palm Tree Beach Club in May. The sighting sparked weeks of speculation that the actress and the 35-year-old rapper might be more than friends. MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, was even pressed on the topic during an August 10 appearance on "Watch What Happens Live."

When Andy Cohen read a fan question about whether there was “any truth” to the dating rumors, MGK dryly shot back, “Kyle P., shut up dude.” The evasive reply drew laughter in the studio, but many fans online felt it wasn’t exactly a denial, reigniting buzz around the rumored fling.

As for Braun, he has kept his love life relatively private since his high-profile divorce. He was married to health activist Yael Cohen from 2014 until 2022, and the couple shares three children, sons Jagger and Levi, and daughter Hart. After their split, Braun briefly stepped back from the dating scene before being linked to Canadian model Rachelle Goulding in 2024. Now, his rumored romance with Sweeney is marking his most high-profile relationship since his marriage.

Neither Sweeney nor Braun has publicly commented on their romance yet, but with sources confirming the two are more than just friends, Hollywood’s newest celebrity couple may not be able to keep things under wraps for long.
