Sydney Sweeney’s scenes on HBO’s ‘Euphoria’ have sparked debate, with some labeling them ‘freaky.’ Despite the criticism, Sweeney is now making headlines for her public displays of affection with Scooter Braun. The couple was recently captured enjoying each other’s company on a gondola ride in Venice, Italy. Braun dressed casually in a white button-down shirt, blue shorts, sunglasses, and a backward baseball cap, while Sweeney looked chic in a white dress paired with a yellow cardigan.
One photo shows Sweeney kissing Braun, her hands gently placed on his cheeks. Additional photos reveal the couple smiling and sitting side-by-side, Sweeney holding Braun’s arm while he rests his hand on her knee. The pair also strolled through Venice, hand in hand, clearly enjoying their time together.
Sweeney is attending the Venice Film Festival as a brand ambassador for Armani Beauty, this year’s beauty sponsor. Her relationship with Braun became public during Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos’ wedding in Venice in June 2025. They have since been seen together on several occasions, including the premiere of ‘Euphoria’ season three.
Celebrity matchmaker Alessandra Conti expressed optimism about Sweeney and Braun’s relationship, despite their seemingly mismatched profiles. Conti sees Braun as a ‘stable force’ in Sweeney’s life, supporting her through the challenges of fame.
Previously, Sweeney was engaged to producer Jonathan Davino, ending their relationship in early 2025. With her career taking off, the stability Braun provides may be beneficial for her continued success.
