Hollywood actor Sydney Sweeney and music executive Scooter Braun appear to have confirmed weeks of speculation about their rumored relationship after being photographed sharing a kiss in New York City’s Central Park earlier this week.
The Euphoria star and the talent manager were spotted sitting together on a large rock, smiling and kissing as they enjoyed a relaxed afternoon outing. Photos of the pair quickly went viral, seemingly confirming what fans had suspected for months — that the two are indeed dating.
The Central Park Sighting
Sweeney kept it casual for the outing, wearing blue jeans, brown boots, and a brown leather jacket with sherpa lining. Braun, meanwhile, sported dark jeans, a white T-shirt, a blue jacket, brown loafers, and a baseball cap.
Eyewitnesses also reported seeing the pair laughing together as they strolled through the park before sitting down for a quiet moment. The couple has been spotted multiple times in New York in recent weeks, including at a local comedy club, fueling speculation that their connection has grown stronger.
How the Rumors Began
Reports linking the Anyone But You actress and Braun first surfaced in September 2025, when People magazine reported that the two were “casually seeing each other.”
A source close to the couple told the outlet that Braun’s friends were “happy to see him so settled,” adding,
“It’s been a long time since they’ve seen him this comfortable in a relationship. He thinks Sydney is smart, kind, and fun, and she appreciates that he really sees her for who she is — beyond all the noise.”
Recent Relationship History
Sweeney recently ended her engagement to Jonathan Davino, whom she had been dating since 2018. The actress was also linked to her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell earlier this year, though both denied any romantic involvement.
Braun, 43, was previously married to Yael Cohen, an entrepreneur and philanthropist. The pair separated in 2021 after seven years of marriage and finalized their divorce in 2022. They share three children together.
Sydney on Love and Independence
Interestingly, the Central Park sighting came just days after Sweeney opened up about her relationship status in an interview with GQ, where she emphasized self-reliance and emotional strength.
“I don’t think I’m looking for a man right now,” she said. “What I’ve learned this year is that I have a really amazing group of girlfriends, and I’m strong and independent. If love finds me, love finds me — I’m a hopeless romantic, but I’m not chasing it.”
She added that she believes in true love and long-term commitment, but isn’t in a rush:
“You won’t see me jumping around a lot of places.”
Final Words
With the couple now publicly spotted together, fans are buzzing about Hollywood’s newest pairing. Whether their relationship remains casual or develops into something more serious, Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun’s Central Park moment has officially made their romance public.
