Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun enjoy date night after his rare romance admission

Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun rarely say a word about their much-discussed romance, but they looked absolutely smitten in New York over the weekend.

The Euphoria actress, 28, and her music executive partner, 44, were dressed to the nines for a black tie event and were seen holding hands while strolling through the city.

Later in the evening, the pair traded ensembles for a much more laid-back vibe, with Sweeney slipping into a plunging black gown and heels while he sported an all-black suit.

Their latest appearance comes days after Braun made rare, public comments about their relationship on The Free Press’ Second Thought podcast.

“I’ve met an extraordinary woman, kind and generous and smart, and real and down to earth,” he gushed about his partner, still giving nothing away.

He also spoke about her racy scenes in Euphoria, with the new season garnering mixed reviews from audiences across the globe.

“I’m biased, I like it. I think there’s been an incredible performance by a certain actress,” Braun said with a grin.

The couple have come to be one of the most talked-about couples in Hollywood as of late, both mired in separate controversies over the course of the last year.

Sweeney attracted attention in July when she appeared in an ad for the popular US brand American Eagle, which used the tagline, “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans”.

While some saw it as a clever and innocuous play on the words ‘jeans’ and ‘genes’, others argued it hinted at genetic superiority.

Five months after the furore, Sweeney later said she was “honestly surprised by the reaction”.

“I did [the ad] because I love the jeans and love the brand,” she told People.

“I don’t support the views some people chose to connect to the campaign. Many have assigned motives and labels to me that just aren’t true.”

Meanwhile, Braun shot to headlines in 2019 after he purchased Big Machine Records – which included Taylor Swift’s entire music catalogue– and Swift, 35, responded with a statement about how the reported $300 million deal was her “worst case scenario”.

She made it clear that she didn’t approve, claiming to be the subject of Braun’s “incessant, manipulative bullying” for several years.

The sale of her masters to Braun was what prompted Swift to re-record her original six albums, and Braun became somewhat of a punching bag for the Swifties for years to come. She has since repurchased them all for herself.

Despite becoming controversial figures, Sweeney and Braun found love together in June 2025 after meeting at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’ wedding.
