Fact Check: Is Sydney Sweeney pregnant with her first child with Scooter Braun?
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A rumor has been circulating on social media platforms claiming that Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney is pregnant with her first child with her boyfriend and businessman Scooter Braun. The rumor has triggered fan frenzy, while a few others questioned the authenticity of the viral claim and called for an investigation, prompting a fact-check.
Claim: Sydney Sweeney is pregnant with her first child
According to a viral claim that surfaced on X, the ‘Euphoria’ actress is pregnant with her first child with Scooter Braun. The post was accompanied by a photo of the couple and a generic ultrasound image.
The claim has been amplified by several accounts on X and Instagram, garnering more than a million views as of this writing.
The post has triggered a fan frenzy, indicating that many believe the claim to be true, while a few others have asked for official confirmation of the rumor.
Fact Check: False, the claim originated as satire
The claim, however, is false, as there are no credible reports about the popular actress’ pregnancy. Neither Sweeney nor Braun has made a public announcement, and a search of their official social media handles showed no relevant posts indicating that she is pregnant with their first child.
A Google search for the claim yielded no credible reports by prominent news or entertainment media outlets, which, if true, would have been widely reported.
The claim originated from a popular satire account on X called ‘Hoops Crave,’ which describes itself in the bio as ‘parody.’
A fact check by Grok AI confirmed that claim to be false, stating, “Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun have been dating since 2025 and have discussed future marriage and kids, but there is no credible confirmation of any pregnancy."
"The post's ultrasound image is part of an unverified rumor spreading on X with no statement from the couple or major outlets.”
Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun's relationship
Sweeney and Braun became one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples after they were first linked in September 2025.
Their relationship began several months after Sweeney ended her engagement to her longtime partner, Jonathan Davino. Meanwhile, Braun had divorced entrepreneur Yael Cohen in 2022.
Early reports described the romance as casual; however, by the end of 2025, sources told People that the relationship had become serious.
Throughout 2026, the couple grew more comfortable sharing their relationship publicly. After keeping their romance mostly private for months, they made it official on Instagram in the spring.
