While Sydney Sweeney has been focusing on her growing career and her independent lifestyle, her personal life has once again come into the limelight. The actress, who has been engaged to music executive Scooter Braun for several months, is reportedly dealing with some issues in the relationship, especially in regards to the digital attention she receives from the sports world.
The rumored couple has been spotted at various high-profile events since Braun’s final divorce, but sources say the private Instagram DMs are causing a bit of controversy. It seems professional athletes haven’t stopped reaching out to Sweeney, who reportedly doesn’t like Braun. According to The Sun, the music mogul finds the constant messages ‘incredibly insulting’, especially as his relationship with Sweeney is known.
However, both have very different philosophies when it comes to personal space. While Brown is struggling with the lack of boundaries from outside players, Sweeney has no problem. “Sydney has always been fiercely independent,” a source told the outlet. “She values alone time, whether it’s traveling alone, going out with girlfriends, or just switching off.”
This has caused a bit of friction in their dynamic, as the source added that “Scooter loves togetherness, and he’s still adjusting to it.”
Sweeney is a frequent guest at Dodgers, Lakers and Nets games. Despite her presence in the stands, she has been vocal about her dating preferences in the past, once stating that she is far more interested in businessmen than athletes on the court.
For now, neither Sweeney nor Braun have directly addressed the rumors. Sydney is currently busy promoting her new film, The Housemaid, while Braun is immersed in his various music and business ventures. Though they’re keeping things low-key to avoid gossip, the pair are moving at their own pace.
