INDIO, CALIFORNIA: Actress Sydney Sweeney has gone Instagram official with businessman Scooter Braun, sharing a series of intimate photos that confirmed their relationship publicly. The post, shared on Friday, May 1, gave fans a closer look at their growing romance during a recent music festival outing.

The move marks a clear step into the public eye for the pair, who had already sparked speculation over their relationship in recent months.

Sweeney posted a carousel of photos showing affectionate moments with Braun, including shots of him holding her close in a crowd, playful photo booth images, and clips of the two enjoying time together during performances.

“cowboy kind of weekend 🤍,” she wrote in the caption.

The post came shortly after Braun himself had already made their relationship Instagram official by sharing a black-and-white image of the couple on his Instagram Stories on April 15.

Reports suggest the two first met at Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Venice last summer. By September 2025, they were linked romantically and later spotted together in Los Angeles, signaling the early stages of their relationship.

By December, a source told People that things had become more serious, saying, “getting serious and are going strong and things between them are great, They're in a committed relationship and things are serious.”

Braun was previously married to Yael Cohen from 2014 until their split in 2021, with their divorce finalized in 2022. The former couple share three children.

Sweeney ended her engagement to businessman Jonathan Davino in March 2025 after nearly seven years together. In a January interview with Cosmopolitan, she reflected on navigating love in the public eye.

She said, "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, At the same time, for all of my 20s, I put my head down and focused on work—and now I want to experience things. But it's hard deciding that I want to experience love in the public eye. I'm just navigating it all."
