Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun Hit a New Relationship Milestone After a Year Together

Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun’s romance has moved from paparazzi speculation to genuinely serious territory over the past twelve months — and their latest outing suggests things are getting even more official. In photos obtained by TMZ, the couple stepped out together on September 1 with two of Braun’s children from his previous marriage, marking one of the clearest signs yet that the relationship has settled into something long-term.

How the Relationship Started

Sweeney and Braun were first linked in June 2025, when they were photographed together at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice, Italy. At the time, sources described the connection as casual, with Sweeney — freshly out of a seven-year engagement to Jonathan Davino — reportedly focused on enjoying her newly single life rather than diving into anything serious.

That changed gradually over the following months. The pair were spotted holding hands in Los Angeles and New York through the fall, and by December, insiders told People the relationship had shifted from casual to something more committed.

Going Instagram Official

Sweeney made things public in April, sharing a black-and-white photo to her Instagram Story of the couple embracing, accompanied by a simple white heart. Braun reposted the same photo to his own account, captioning it “Lucky bastard.” In the months since, the couple has continued sharing glimpses of their relationship publicly — including a “cowboy kind of weekend” post featuring karaoke videos and candid photos, and more recently, a trip to New York’s Times Square that Braun shared himself.

Braun has also spoken about the relationship directly, describing Sweeney as an extraordinary, grounded person and calling the connection one of the biggest surprises of his life.

Meeting the Kids

The September 1 outing marks a particularly significant step: Braun shares three children with his ex-wife, Yael Cohen, whom he divorced in 2022 after an eight-year marriage. Publicly stepping out with two of his kids alongside Sweeney signals a level of comfort and seriousness that goes well beyond red carpet appearances or vacation photos — it’s the kind of milestone that typically only comes once a relationship has moved into more permanent territory.

The couple has also been visible together at a string of high-profile events over the past year, including the “Euphoria” season 3 premiere, the Stagecoach music festival, and multiple New York Knicks playoff games — public appearances that have steadily normalized the relationship in the eyes of fans and media alike.

Where Things Stand Now

A year in, sources describe the relationship as genuinely serious, with both Sweeney and Braun reportedly surprised by how quickly the connection deepened. For Sweeney, who told Cosmopolitan earlier this year that she spent most of her twenties focused entirely on work, the relationship represents a conscious decision to let herself experience life — and love — more openly, even knowing it would play out under public scrutiny.

Neither Sweeney nor Braun has publicly confirmed exactly what the September 1 outing means for the relationship’s next chapter, but between the Instagram hard launch, the shared red carpet appearances, and now time spent with his children, the trajectory over the past twelve months has been consistently upward.
