Sweeney, 28, has taken to Instagram to share photographs of Braun, 44, marking a significant step in publicly acknowledging their romance. On 1st May 2026, she posted a series of images from their time at the recent Stagecoach music festival in California. The carousel of photos not only showcased their affection but also depicted joyous moments, including a photo of Braun holding Sweeney while enjoying performances throughout the weekend. The actress captioned the post with, “cowboy kind of weekend 🤍,” hinting at the carefree spirit of their experience together.
Scooter Braun, formerly a prominent music talent manager, had previously made their relationship known on his own Instagram account shortly after sharing a black-and-white snapshot of the pair on his Stories on 15th April. This marked their emergence as a public couple, leaving fans eager for more updates on their relationship.
The couple’s romance began at a wedding hosted by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice, Italy, during the summer of 2025. Their initial connection sparked interest as they were later spotted together holding hands in Los Angeles, having left an art gallery with friends in September of that year. By December, sources revealed that their relationship had developed into something deeper, with discussions about commitment underway.
“Scooter and Sydney are going strong and things between them are great,” shared the source with PEOPLE. “They’re in a committed relationship and things are serious.” This affirmation comes after both individuals recently navigated significant changes in their personal lives—for Braun, a divorce from his wife Yael Cohen in 2022, with whom he shares three children; for Sweeney, the ending of her engagement to businessman Jonathan Davino after nearly seven years in March 2025.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan earlier this year, Sweeney expressed her feelings about maintaining her personal life away from the public eye. “I’m still figuring out love, and it’s hard to do that with millions of people who have their own opinions of what that looks like,” she remarked. The actress elaborated on the challenges of wanting to experience love while navigating the scrutiny that comes with fame.
The Stagecoach festival was a particularly celebratory occasion for the couple. Sweeney was noted to have worn a necklace adorned with initials “S” and “B,” seemingly a sweet tribute to Braun. Furthermore, they were photographed hand-in-hand after an afterparty for the premiere of Sweeney’s acclaimed series, Euphoria, reinforcing their connection.
As the couple continues to capture public interest, both Sweeney and Braun appear to be joyfully embracing their relationship in the spotlight while, at the same time, navigating the complexities that come with it. With the positive responses from fans and continued appearances together, the future seems promising for this modern couple.
