Scooter Braun says he's a 'lucky b******' as he goes 'official' with Sydney Sweeney
April 17, 2026
Former music mogul Scooter Braun beamed with joy as he made the decision to go public with his romance to Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney − and fans are gushing over the pair
After months of speculation, actress Sydney Sweeney and executive Scooter Braun have publicly confirmed their relationship. The confirmation came via social media, where Braun, 44, reposted a black-and-white photo of the couple that the 28-year-old "Euphoria" star had shared. The picture, taken at the recent premiere for the third season of "Euphoria," shows Braun embracing Sweeney. In his own post, Braun added the caption, "Lucky bastard," putting an end to months of rumors about their romantic involvement.
The pairing of one of Hollywood's most in-demand actresses with a powerful, and at times controversial, music industry figure has been developing since mid-2025. Sweeney and Braun were reportedly first seen together in Venice, Italy, in June 2025, while attending the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. By September 2025, reports began to surface that the two were casually dating, and by December, sources close to the couple described the relationship as having become serious. Prior to their social media confirmation, the duo was seen together at the "Euphoria" premiere, signaling a new willingness to be seen publicly as a couple.
This new chapter follows significant changes in both of their personal lives. Sweeney's engagement to her longtime partner and business associate, Jonathan Davino, ended in early 2025. The actress later dissolved the production company they had co-founded. Braun, who has three children, finalized his divorce from Yael Cohen in 2022 after eight years of marriage. Both individuals entered this new relationship having recently closed the door on long-term commitments, marking a significant personal shift for each in the public eye.
Professionally, both Sweeney and Braun are at pivotal moments in their careers. Sweeney's star continues to rise with major roles in television and film, alongside her own production ventures. Braun, famous for discovering Justin Bieber and his high-profile dispute with Taylor Swift, announced his retirement from artist management in 2024 to focus on his role as the CEO of HYBE America. His career has been defined by immense success as well as public scrutiny, making him one of the most well-known executives in the entertainment business.
The public acknowledgment of their relationship moves it from the realm of gossip into an established fact. As they navigate the spotlight together, the coupling of a top-tier actress and a powerhouse executive will likely remain a topic of significant public interest. Their decision to go "official" suggests they are prepared to face the combined media attention their union will attract, marking a new public phase for two of the entertainment world's prominent figures.
