Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney are making waves in the industry with their romance, but it might not be all sunshine and rainbows. A body language expert has recently claimed that the record executive has “literal upper hand” in the relationship. The couple first sparked romance rumors in the summer of 2025 and have since made several public appearances together.

Expert examine Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun’s body language amid recent outing

Sweeney and Braun took a romantic gondola ride in Venice, and celebrity body-language expert Inbaal Honigman analyzed their make-out session (via RadarOnline). She said that there was a “power struggle” between the lovebirds. The photos captured the couple holding hands, linking arms, and kissing throughout the ride.

Honigman said, “The couple’s body language in Venice indicates somewhat of a power struggle, where Scooter Braun currently has the upper hand, but Sydney Sweeney is a strong claimant to the crown.”

She claimed that Braun was exercising “dominance” when he put his hand on the “Euphoria” star’s knee in a “controlling gesture.” Further, she explained that he was  “pinning his actress girlfriend down,” adding, “It means that he doesn’t want to lose her, and that he’s making sure she’s at his side.”

Honigman suggested the tension in Braun’s fingers beyond standard intimacy, as it gave “a domineering air to the gesture.” Examining the pair’s hand-holding, she said that it was a sign of a “literal upper hand” for the 45-year-old. “They’re holding hands romantically, but there is no hiding the fact that he is in charge,” she said.

The expert also claimed Sweeney was trying to regain some control, pointing to the moments during the gondola ride where she “expands her arm to the side.” She noted similar gestures from the Anyone But You actress when the couple was walking “side by side.” She explained that this body language increased “the perceived size of her frame, so that she’s seen to take up more space.”
