He wrote, “Please stop with the made up stories about my personal life. Need to hold sources accountable. It can affect people’s lives.”He also replied under another post that shared the claim and added, “Fake news guys, let’s stop with the silly rumor.”That message made his position very clear.

While Pulisic was denying the story, Sydney Sweeney has also been in the news for different reasons. Earlier this month, she was seen spending time with former talent manager Scooter Braun after the premiere of her new film The Housemaid.Sweeney, 28, was first linked to Braun, 44, after they were spotted together at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s summer wedding in Italy. In early September, reports said they were “casually” seeing each other. After that, the pair were seen on several outings, including a public moment together in New York City’s Central Park in early November. They were also later spotted sharing a flirty moment at a VIP afterparty for The Housemaid.On the work front, Sydney Sweeney is having a strong moment. The Housemaid, directed by Paul Feig, opened to around $19–20 million in its first weekend in the United States. That was a big win after her recent films Americana, Eden, and Christy struggled at the box office. According to Movie Web, those three movies together earned less in total than The Housemaid made in just its opening days. For Pulisic, the message is clear. He wants false stories to stop and his name kept out of made-up drama. Also Read: Nick Kyrgios Net Worth In 2025: Inside His Tennis Earnings, Career, And Battle Of The Sexes Payout Vs Aryna Sabalenka
