In a move that has effectively “broken” the celebrity internet, Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has officially confirmed her romance with music mogul Scooter Braun.
On April 15, 2026, the 28-year-old actress shared a cozy, black-and-white photograph on her Instagram Story, marking the first time she has featured Braun on her personal social media grid since rumors began swirling nearly a year ago.
The “hard launch” comes on the heels of the long-awaited Euphoria Season 3 premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, where the couple was seen sharing a sweet kiss and holding hands during the screening.
Braun, 44, quickly doubled down on the announcement by reposting the image to his own Story, cheekily captioning it: “Lucky bastard”.
While the Instagram confirmation is new, the roots of their relationship trace back to June 2025. The pair first crossed paths in Venice, Italy, during the star-studded wedding celebrations of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.
Though they were spotted wandering the Venetian canals together, insiders initially described the connection as casual.
At the time, Sweeney had only recently ended her seven-year relationship and engagement to Chicago businessman Jonathan Davino in March 2025.
According to sources close to the actress, Sweeney was in her “single era,” focusing heavily on her career and not looking for a major commitment.
However, the “casual” label didn’t last long. By September 2025, they were photographed on a dinner date at Jon & Vinny’s in Brentwood and seen holding hands at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. By December, sources confirmed to People that things had become “very serious”.
Sweeney, known for her breakout roles in The White Lotus and The Handmaid’s Tale, has historically been intensely private about her personal life.
She previously told Cosmopolitan that she rarely discussed her long-term relationship with Davino because she felt it was important to “have some things for myself”.
Her choice to go public with Braun marks a significant shift. Braun, a polarizing figure in the music industry due to his high-profile past management of Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, as well as his contentious feud with Taylor Swift over her master recordings, is no stranger to the spotlight.
Despite the online discourse surrounding the pairing—including reactions from “Swifties”—insiders say Braun is “unfazed” by the headlines and finds the public speculation comical.
The couple has reportedly begun “blending their lives.” Braun, who shares three children—Jagger, Levi, and Hart—with ex-wife Yael Cohen, has introduced Sweeney to his kids.
On Sweeney’s side, her brother Trent has reportedly given the relationship his stamp of approval, describing Braun as a “great guy”.
Professional synergy also seems to be a cornerstone of their bond. Braun has been a vocal supporter of Sweeney’s various ventures, including her newly launched lingerie brand, Syrn.
Sources indicate that Sweeney values Braun’s business acumen and has been “soaking up the knowledge” he offers from his decades in the entertainment industry.
With Euphoria Season 3 currently dominating the cultural conversation and Sweeney’s upcoming boxing biopic Christy generating buzz, the actress is at the pinnacle of her career.
Rumors of an engagement have already begun to circulate, with some tabloids claiming Braun frequently tells friends that Sweeney will be his “wife”.
While no official engagement has been confirmed, the Instagram “hard launch” signifies that this is far more than a summer fling.
For now, the “Hollywood It girl” and the music mogul seem perfectly content navigating their high-pressure worlds together, one black-and-white selfie at a time.
