As the prestigious Venice International Film Festival unfolds, actress Sydney Sweeney and music mogul Scooter Braun have made a notable appearance, rekindling interest in their relationship which first surfaced in 2025. The couple was spotted enjoying the scenic canals of Venice on 3rd September 2026, nearly a year after their romantic involvement was publicly acknowledged.
The pair first crossed paths during the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in June 2025. Reports soon emerged, confirming that Sweeney and Braun had sparked a romance following their connection at this star-studded event. One day prior to the festival’s commencement, a source revealed to PEOPLE that the two were “casually” dating, marking the beginning of what has since developed into a committed relationship.
Since then, their romance has blossomed, leading to Braun describing Sweeney as a “kind and generous and smart” individual during an interview on Suzy Weiss’s podcast, “Second Thought.” Their relationship appears to have matured over the past year, with another insider disclosing last December that they were “going strong,” signalling a deepening commitment.
Braun, aged 45, and Sweeney, who is 28, were seen relishing the beauty of Venice during the festival, taking a romantic boat ride through the canals, followed by a leisurely stroll around the enchanting city. Despite being at one of the film industry’s most important events, Sweeney does not have a film screening at this year’s festival.
Their relationship made significant strides towards visibility on social media earlier this year, notably when Braun attended the premiere of Sweeney’s series “Euphoria” Season 3 in April. The couple has shared snippets of their adventures together throughout the summer, including a holiday to Australia in July and a group outing with friends in August that evoked a sense of camaraderie reminiscent of summer camps.
Sweeney took to her Instagram to celebrate Braun’s birthday in June, lavishing affectionate messages upon him. “Happiest of birthdays to the man with the biggest heart I know ❤️,” she gushed alongside a delightful photo of a kiss on his cheek. In another post, she expressed her gratitude for the joy he brings to her life, recounting, “Thank you for all the living room dances and making me smile again. A good man is rare. A man like you is once in a lifetime.”
Before embarking on this new chapter with Sweeney, Braun had been married to Yael Cohen from 2014 until their separation in 2021 and eventual divorce in 2022. The duo shares three children together. Meanwhile, Sweeney concluded her engagement to businessman Jonathan Davino in March 2025 after nearly seven years together.
As for Sweeney’s professional pursuits, she was last seen in “The Housemaid,” which enjoyed success in cinemas last winter. Following the finale of “Euphoria” earlier this year, she is set to appear in “The Housemaid’s Secret,” projected for release in December 2027, as well as in an upcoming live-action adaptation of the Gundam franchise for Netflix.
The Venice International Film Festival, running from 2nd to 12th September, serves as a vibrant backdrop for Sweeney and Braun’s blossoming romance. As the event continues, attendees and fans alike are eager to see how their relationship develops while navigating the glitzy atmosphere of this iconic celebration of cinema.
As interest in celebrity relationships often ebbs and flows, the connection between Sweeney and Braun seems to be gaining momentum. How this dynamic duo navigates the complexities of love and fame will undoubtedly be followed closely by fans and media alike in the months to come.
