Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun Keep the Heat On in New York

Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun aren’t hiding anything. The pair were seen hand in hand through the streets of Manhattan over the weekend — another stop in what’s fast becoming a full-blown public romance.

Braun, 44, kept it relaxed: white T-shirt, open black button-down, green pants, loafers, and a Jets cap. Sweeney, 28, countered with New York polish — a blue-and-white striped long sleeve thrown over a gray pinstriped dress, black slingbacks, and oversized shades. Her hair was loose, easy, the kind of undone perfection that looks like it didn’t try too hard but absolutely did.

The Euphoria and White Lotus actress is in the city to promote her new film Christy, but all eyes are on the off-screen story. Sources close to the pair describe the relationship as “very real,” and Braun as “very happy” — which, in Hollywood language, means it’s no fling.

Their connection first sparked rumors back in August, after the two were spotted together in Italy during Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding celebrations. Since then, they’ve been seen everywhere — from Sweeney’s space-themed 28th birthday bash, where Braun showed up dressed like a Jedi, to Halloween Horror Nights with her parents, to a quiet night at David Kordansky Gallery.

Both come out of long-term relationships. Sweeney called off her engagement to Jonathan Davino earlier this year. Braun finalized his split from Yael Cohen in 2021 after seven years and three children.

Now, the two seem to be writing a new script — one part Hollywood gloss, one part genuine connection. In a city built on showmanship, their chemistry looks less like a PR stunt and more like two people who don’t care who’s watching.
