Sydney Sweeney Hosts Star-Studded Early Birthday Bash for Scooter Braun
Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney pulled out all the stops this weekend, hosting a star-studded, surprise early 45th birthday celebration for her boyfriend, music mogul Scooter Braun.
The high-profile event, held at a private venue in Santa Monica, California, brought out a prominent collection of A-list entertainment figures.
Among the distinguished guests offering an early happy birthday to Braun were Oscar winner Tom Hanks, actress Rita Wilson, and lifestyle entrepreneur Jessica Alba.
The early festivities kicked off nearly two weeks ahead of Braun’s official milestone 45th birthday on June 18.
The celebration highlights a major relationship milestone for the couple, marking the first time they have celebrated Braun’s birthday together since their romance became public.
The Euphoria and Immaculate star leaned into a festive, basketball-themed concept for the evening, setting up a full-scale basketball hoop at the coastal venue for guests to enjoy.
Embracing the theme completely, Sweeney and Braun were spotted posing with close friends in custom, matching Connecticut Flame basketball jerseys. Each jersey prominently displayed the number 45, serves as a direct nod to the music executive’s upcoming milestone age.
The evening’s definitive highlight arrived when hip-hop icon Warren G took the stage for a surprise live performance.
The legendary artist delivered a rendition of his definitive 1994 hit “Regulate,” widely known among insiders to be Braun’s favorite song of all time.
Guests captured videos of the intimate performance as the crowd danced along to the West Coast classic.
The lavish Santa Monica party signals an increasingly public chapter for the pair, who initially kept their budding relationship relatively quiet.
According to industry insiders, Sweeney and Braun first connected in June 2025 while attending the high-profile wedding of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy. By September 2025, reports confirmed that the duo had officially begun dating.
To truly grasp how quickly this Hollywood pairing evolved into a public romance, it helps to review the whirlwind timeline of their relationship over the past year.
After their initial connection at the star-studded Bezos-Sanchez wedding in Venice in June 2025, their romance officially began that September, marked by low-profile date nights across Los Angeles.
By April 2026, the relationship went completely Instagram-official during a high-profile weekend at the Stagecoach Festival, setting the stage for June 2026, where Sweeney ultimately hosted this massive 45th birthday bash in Santa Monica.
Over the past year, the couple has been spotted frequently on romantic outings, including casual dates across Los Angeles and an international getaway to Hamilton Island near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, where Sweeney was filming a project.
The couple officially took their romance public on social media in April 2026, when Sweeney shared an Instagram carousel documenting their time together at the Stagecoach Music Festival.
The post featured images of Braun holding the actress on his shoulders during the performances. More recently, Braun publicly praised Sweeney during a podcast appearance, describing the actress as “extraordinary”.
With Euphoria Season 3 officially wrapped and several upcoming feature film projects on her horizon—including The Custom of the Country and Gundam—Sweeney continues to balance a demanding production schedule with her high-profile personal milestones.
