Sydney Sweeney didn’t retreat after her engagement collapsed — she did what legends do. She hit Vegas.
On May 3, just weeks after officially splitting from fiancé Jonathan Davino, Sweeney landed in Sin City like a Hollywood hurricane. She wasn’t alone. MGK — rap’s bleach-blond burnout messiah — and Patrick Schwarzenegger — genetic royalty with abs — flanked her at the grand opening of Palm Tree Beach Club, a three-day desert bacchanal lit by Kygo’s beats and corporate champagne.
The Euphoria star, 27, made sure the cameras caught it all. In an Instagram Story that’s already been screenshot into eternity, Sweeney struck a power pose between the boys, hips cocked and grinning like someone who just remembered she doesn’t owe anyone a damn thing.
MGK, 35, flashed a peace sign like he’d just escaped a court summons, and Schwarzenegger, 31, smiled with the comfort of a man who’s never waited in line for anything in his life. This wasn’t just a party — this was a post-breakup declaration of intent. And it was loud.
Inside the velvet-roped chaos, Sweeney danced, flipped her hair in slow motion, and even climbed behind the DJ booth with Schwarzenegger for a few “look-at-me-now” moments blasted to millions via social media. MGK, meanwhile, chatted her up one-on-one, captured in grainy snaps on X like it was the early 2000s again.
Later in the night, the denim-clad trio — minus MGK, who likely vanished into the neon with a smoke and a story — mingled with the Vegas elite, blending in only in the way that celebrities pretending to blend in ever can. Matching white tees. Double denim. Aesthetic chaos.
This wasn’t their first rendezvous. MGK and Sweeney go back to 2019’s Big Time Adolescence, and she later starred in his 2021 passion project Downfalls High. Hollywood has a long memory and a short attention span — and this pairing is somewhere in the middle.
As for Schwarzenegger, both he and Sweeney are alums of HBO’s The White Lotus — though from different seasons. Still, they share the same gilded orbit of young fame: beautiful, well-connected, and very online.
But make no mistake — this night wasn’t about nostalgia or networking. It was about Sweeney reclaiming her narrative, one bottle-service firework at a time.
The engagement? Dead in the water. Davino, 41, once her long-term flame since 2018, had reportedly been on the outs since February. A May wedding was shelved. By March, sources told PEOPLE the relationship was done. Rocky for a long time. No surprise to anyone paying attention.
And Sweeney? She’s not crying into a pint of Häagen-Dazs. She’s working. Grinding. Focused. “Exactly where she wants to be,” a source said — which is what every publicist says when a star dumps the ring and doubles down on career.
But in this case, it rings true. Because Sydney Sweeney isn’t just surviving the fallout. She’s dancing in the flames.
