Sydney Sweeney has spoken candidly about the qualities she finds attractive in a romantic partner, amid public interest in her relationship with music executive Scooter Braun.
The 28-year-old actress, best known for her role in Euphoria, previously spent seven and a half years in a relationship with restaurateur Jonathan Davino, 41. Reports of their separation emerged in early 2025. In recent months, Sweeney has been linked to Braun, 44, a prominent music manager who has worked with artists including Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Sweeney described her ideal partner as “athletic, outgoing and funny,” noting that she leads an active lifestyle. “I’m a sporty girl, so someone needs to be able to climb a mountain with me or go skydiving,” she said. She also emphasized the importance of family values.
Reflecting on her independence, the actress stated that she is confident, self-directed and professionally fulfilled, adding that she does not view a relationship as a necessity. She acknowledged that her strong sense of self and close network of female friends can be intimidating to some men, observing that it “takes a very specific person” to be comfortable with her world.
Sweeney also revealed that a past romantic interest had admitted he was unable to cope with the demands and visibility that accompany her career, describing the experience as difficult.
The actress further shared a recent conversation with her mother, who encouraged her to remain open-minded about relationships rather than adhering rigidly to a predefined “type.”
Public attention on Sweeney’s love life has intensified following reports that she and Braun were seen together at wedding events hosted by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice. However, she was also spotted with Davino later in the year, following a dinner in Santa Monica, prompting renewed speculation.
Addressing her decision to keep her previous relationship largely private, Sweeney said she values maintaining boundaries despite being a public figure. She noted that much of her twenties had been devoted to work and that she is now attempting to balance personal experiences with the realities of public scrutiny.
“I’m still figuring out love,” she said, adding that navigating personal relationships under constant observation remains challenging.
Recent reports have suggested tensions surrounding her current relationship, including claims that Braun has expressed frustration over unsolicited attention Sweeney receives on social media. Sources, however, describe the actress as fiercely independent and transparent, maintaining open communication while prioritizing personal autonomy.#newsafro_
