In today’s edition of two names you’d never put together, it turns out that Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun are “casually hooking up,” according to People. “Everything is casual,” a source said. “She is living her life and working hard.” The tabloid’s sources repeatedly used the word “casual” to describe Sweeney and Braun’s romantic status, so I’m going to assume this means they’re tangled up in a situationship. I wonder if he’s borrowed her bathwater-infused soap yet.
The two were first seen together at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s gaudy wedding in June, which is also apparently where they first met. A source told “Page Six” that the former music manager was “obsessed” with Sweeney after hanging out with her in Venice and has been “pursuing” her ever since. “It’s still new,” the source added, alleging that their romance has escalated beyond a hookup.
Although Braun is 44 and Sweeney is 27, the age-gap doesn’t seem to bother her — her ex-fiancé, Jonathan Davino, is 42. Sweeney allegedly called off their engagement in January, but the two were spotted out at a casual lunch with her dog Tank back in April. Since then, she’s been rumored to be dating Machine Gun Kelly, but he (sort of) denied that there was any romance between them during a recent Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen episode. Braun split from his ex-wife Yael Cohen in 2021, and the couple share three children together: sons Jagger, 10, and Levi, 8, and daughter Hart, 6.
Knowing Sweeney, we’ll likely never hear a peep about this maybe situationship. What happens in Venice …
