Like a comet, controversies trail Sydney Sweeney's every move when she is out in the space of flashing lights. Whether it is her controversial political stance leaking online or her genes, Sweeney never seems to escape being the center of the buzz. With confident ease, she navigates in a blur of cameras, but it would appear that something has subtly shifted in her trajectory. Her love life has taken on a fresh set of rumors, and her decisions inspire an equal amount of praise and backlash. Add her new boyfriend to the mix, and critics have a field day dissecting the Euphoria star's personal choices and love life. 

New gossip spins across pop culture about Sweeney's latest night out, and it is richer than her previous tense reunion with her former fiancé.

Holding hands with her official new boyfriend, the music industry titan Scooter Braun, Sydney Sweeney was spotted on a date night walk around New York City. The couple seemed intimately cozying up in Central Park on November 4, 2025, as cameras captured them walking side by side. According to Page Six, Sweeney, 28, wore flared jeans with a long-sleeved shirt, layered with a brown leather and fleece jacket. She coordinated the look with a chic pair of sunglasses, a new blonde bob, and a brown leather handbag. Meanwhile, Braun sported a simple denim look with a white T-shirt and a baseball cap.

This NYC outing also comes merely a few days after the outlet spotted Sweeney reuniting with ex-fiancé Jonathan Davino as she was seen climbing into Davino's car in Los Angeles. Sweeney seems to be confidently flaunting her new beau right after her reportedly heated exchange with her former partner of seven years. Meanwhile, at their date night, Sweeney and Braun's body language spoke more of how strong their relationship is going despite speculations that followed her and Davino's reunion since the breakup. However, it placed her love life amidst swirling controversies that succeeded her recent response to her American Eagle campaign backlash.

Once a name that was being belted out as the Hollywood prodigy, Sydney Sweeney finds herself wrapped under twenty five degrees of controversies. Moreover the amount is only looking to double post her arguable clarification to GQ.

In a recent interview with GQ about her American Eagle jeans campaign controversy, Sydney Sweeney finally broke her silence and insisted that she was not bothered by the backlash. She labeled it “surreal” that Donald Trump and JD Vance commented on her ad, but underscored that she would not let others define her. After garnering severe backlash for alleged eugenics connotations, Sweeney's romance with Braun, which first surfaced this fall, further ignited mass outrage for their collective past controversies. The couple's respective personal histories and political opinions make the pairing a little more complicated. 

Sweeney was engaged to Jonathan Davino until March 2025; their breakup preceded the first public sightings with Braun. Braun is an entertainment executive who has managed major artists and has a legacy with high-profile relationships under the public microscope. However, he is also pop culture's distinguished arch-nemeses of Taylor Swift, following the public dispute regarding the ownership of the masters to Swift's first six albums. Sweeney's choice to move on publicly led to the question whether this new relationship is a refuge, a statement, or both. But, as PEOPLE's source posits, they "have a lot in common and neither one of them cares what others think," as they aim to maintain a healthy relationship.
