After several joint appearances together, Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney's relationship is now in headlines for a new reason. Here's why.
Hollywood's one of the most unexpected romances, Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney's relationship has always attracted interest for one reason or another. Whether it was their age gap, joint dates, career pressure, fame or controversies, the couple has always managed to stay at the top of the news. Likewise, a news report has now claimed that some brewing trouble exists between the couple. However, unlike other incidents, this one is now linked to Sydney's social media. Here's what we know about it.
According to a report by The Sun, Scooter Braun is growing increasingly frustrated over his girlfriend, Sydney Sweeney, receiving DMs on social media from professional athletes. Insiders told the outlet that the power manager of Hollywood finds the texts disrespectful. On the other hand, the Christy actress ignores it and blocks the sender of the texts. Further, the report alleged that Scooter is now struggling with the bold nature of the texts. Although Sydney has no role in the same, it has allegedly created some behind-the-scenes tension between the couple.
The same source added that the 44-year-old is also trying to adjust to Sydney's fiercely independent personality. He reportedly has a more traditional viewpoint, whereas Sydney values her personal time, such as travelling solo or spending time with her friends. Furthermore, the situation reportedly became more complex between them in November 2025, when Sydney was seen meeting her ex-fiancé, Jonathan David, in Los Angeles, which led to tension between them. Meanwhile, Sydney and Scooter's representatives did not respond to Page Six's request for comment. In the source's words:
"Sydney has always been fiercely independent. She values time alone — whether that's travelling by herself, going out with girlfriends, or just switching off. Scooter prefers togetherness, and he's still adjusting to that."
The new tension between Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun comes months after their romance surprised Hollywood. The duo were first linked in June 2025 after they allegedly met at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding. According to an industry source, the actress was the one who pursued the Hollywood manager after being impressed by his quiet, attentive nature. A source told Page Six that the couple immediately formed a connection, and despite Scooter's concerns over their 16-year age gap, they developed a strong bond.
Soon, by Summer 2025, the couple were seen vacationing together in Italy, and they spent their Labour weekend together in Lake Tahoe. Later, in October 2025, Scooter joined Sydney on a double date with her parents at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights. The move highlighted that the duo's relationship was getting serious. Soon, they confirmed their bond after the duo was caught kissing in New York's Central Park.
Sydney Sweeney previously dated businessman, Jonathan Davino for seven years. The duo got engaged in 2022 and founded Fifty-Fifty Films, a production company that produced her hit rom-com, Anyone But You. But they later called off their engagement in March 2025. As per insiders, the actress's career and uncertainty about marriage at that stage of her life contributed to their separation. Meanwhile, Scooter tied the knot with Canadian entrepreneur, Yael Cohen from 2014 to 2022. They have three children and continue to share a cordial bond as co-parents.
