Hollywood's latest and most unexpected couple, Sydney Sweeney, 28, and Scooter Braun, 44, are no longer just fueling rumors. The pair were spotted out together again, this time enjoying a cozy dinner at the celebrity-favorite Jon & Vinny’s in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
Their latest outing adds fire to a romance that’s been quietly building since their first public connection at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish Italian wedding back in June.
While they’ve yet to confirm their relationship publicly, multiple sources and eyewitnesses say it’s very much on. “They’re 1,000% dating,” a fan claimed to DeuxMoi, adding that the two were “showing PDA” before moving to opposite sides of the dinner table.
While the official meet-cute appears to have happened on June 27 in Positano at Bezos’ star-studded nuptials, others suggest their connection began even earlier. A resurfaced TikTok video shows the two chatting during Lana Del Rey’s Coachella performance in April, sparking speculation that their romance may have quietly started months before the Italian affair.
Since then, they’ve been seen roaming Venice with mutual friends, including Karlie Kloss, Tom Brady, and Orlando Bloom, and even vacationing in Lake Tahoe over the summer.
Their most recent sighting took place on Wednesday. Sweeney kept things effortlessly cool in a dark top, a miniskirt that showed off her toned legs, and calf-high boots. Braun, in a laid-back white long-sleeve T-shirt, sported a clean-cut look with black glasses.
Photos show them smiling at their table before leaving the Italian eatery together in a sleek black SUV. One eyewitness noted Braun’s chivalrous move, opening the car door for Sweeney as they exited the restaurant.
While they weren’t alone, friends were seated nearby, insiders insist the connection is very real. A source told Page Six earlier this month that Braun has been “obsessed” with the Euphoria star and has been “pursuing her heavily.”
Their romance comes after major life transitions. Sweeney ended her seven-year relationship with fiancé Jonathan Davino in March, citing “major issues.” Since then, she’s opened up about reclaiming her independence.
“I’m learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends,” she told The Sunday Times in May. “And I’m loving it.” Braun, meanwhile, finalized his divorce from Yael Cohen in 2021 after seven years of marriage. The couple shares three children, Jagger, 10, Levi, 8, and Hart, 6.
In a revealing episode of The Diary Of A CEO podcast, Braun admitted that the end of his marriage led him to a dark emotional place.
“I had a suicidal thought for 20 minutes... I can’t control this. I’m not gonna be this perfect image that I’ve presented to the world,” he shared. “Now, whoever gets me next is in for a treat, ’cause I’m a better version than I was before," he declared.
