Sydney Sweeney is embracing her single status and cherishing the time she has with her family and friends. The 27-year-old actress, who has risen rapidly to Hollywood stardom with roles in 'The White Lotus,' 'Euphoria,' and the blockbuster 'Anyone But You,' is opening up about her career and personal life, including the close friendship she shares with Glen Powell, her co-star and producing partner on the hit romantic comedy.
After ending her engagement with longtime boyfriend Jonathan Davino earlier this year, Sweeney confirmed to The Times that she is currently single and enjoying the journey of self-discovery.
“Yes,” she said to the publication when asked if she is single. “I’m learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I’m loving it," she added. Sydney is known for keeping a relatively low profile in Hollywood.

Despite her growing fame, Sweeney remains focused on proving herself, not only as an actress but as a businesswoman. “I have to prove myself as a young woman, as an actor, as a businessperson — all of it,” she said.

I’ll take the power.”
