Hollywood has a new pairing to talk about. Sydney Sweeney, 27, and music mogul Scooter Braun, 44, are reportedly “casually hooking up,” according to multiple sources who spoke to PEOPLE. While neither camp has issued a comment, the whispers have added another twist to two very public personal journeys.
A Casual Equation
Insiders describe the connection as low-key. “Everything is casual. She is living her life and working hard,” said one source, emphasizing that Sweeney’s professional commitments remain her priority. The two were last spotted in the same orbit at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s opulent Venice wedding in June, where both were part of the star-studded guest list.
Recent Breakups on Both Sides
The timing of the rumored fling comes after Sweeney ended her engagement to Chicago businessman Jonathan Davino earlier this year. The pair began dating in 2018, got engaged in 2022, but called it off in March after months of speculation. In May, Sweeney confirmed the split publicly, telling The Times she was “learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends” and enjoying single life.
Braun, meanwhile, was married to activist Yael Cohen from 2014 to 2021. Their divorce was finalized the following year. The exes continue to co-parent their three children—Jagger, 10, Levi, 8, and Hart, 6, amicably, with Braun even describing Cohen as “family for life” during a July podcast appearance.

Careers in Motion
While her personal life attracts buzz, Sweeney’s career trajectory remains sharp. She’s currently filming the long-awaited third season of Euphoria, while her boxing biopic Christy is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this month. She’ll also share the screen with Amanda Seyfried in The Housemaid, slated for release this Christmas.
Braun, one of the most recognizable names in the music industry, has kept relatively quiet on his romantic life, but his professional imprint—from Justin Bieber to Ariana Grande—remains undeniable.
Celebrity couplings often play out in public, but this one reflects the changing pace of both stars’ lives: Sweeney, balancing stardom with newfound independence; Braun, navigating co-parenting while staying a power player in entertainment.
As of now, the two appear to be enjoying each other’s company without labels. Whether this remains a fleeting chapter or evolves into something larger, Hollywood will surely be watching.
