Scooter Braun has allegedly responded to the backlash over his romance with Sydney Sweeney.

A recent report in People magazine stated that he continues to remain largely unfazed and treats the negative reactions with humor. An exclusive source spoke to the outlet and said:

"He finds the headlines comical. He seems to be unfazed, as he finds them all very funny.”

The insider emphasized that the couple is “totally confident and comfortable” in their relationship and that they also don’t have trust issues. Sweeney and Braun confirmed their relationship when they were spotted kissing in Central Park in November 2025. However, the pair has sparked romance rumors since June 2025.

The Housemaid star was previously engaged to businessman Jonathan Davino and they were together for about seven years. But they called off their engagement in early 2025. Following his divorce from ex-wife Yael Cohen, Scooter Braun had briefly dated model Rachelle Goulding.

Here is what we know.


Exploring relationship between Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun

Both Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun have been enjoying each other’s company since the beginning of their relationship.

They began their romantic relationship after they met at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Venice, Italy, in June 2025. An exclusive Page Six report stated that the 44 year old record executive has been “obsessed” with Sweeney since they met. A source told the outlet that the pair had been “casually dating.”

After the wedding, Sweeney and Scooter Braun were pictured roaming around Italy. A source told People that the 28-year-old actress was “intrigued” as Braun is a “charmer.” She was photographed wearing a black floral dress while he opted for a short-sleeve brown polo shirt and pale pink shorts.

In September last year, Sweeney was spotted having dinner with Braun at Jon & Vinny’s in Brentwood. They reportedly also spent Labor Day weekend together at Lake Tahoe. Around the same time, the couple was spotted at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights in Los Angeles as a double date with Sweeney's parents, Lisa and Steven Sweeney. Sources noted that things might have gotten “serious” between them.

Reports confirmed that their bond has grown stronger in the past few months following their first meeting. In November the pair was seen sharing romantic moments in Central Park, New York.

A recent report in The Sun stated that Scooter Braun has been frustrated as Premier League footballers continuously try to slide into the DMs of his girlfriend. He finds the persistence “incredibly disrespectful,” even though she blocks and ignores their messages, according to the insiders.

A source said:

“Her Insta DMs are packed with messages from famous men trying to get in contact with her. It’s mostly guys playing for teams like Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. They offer her trips to Europe to see them and take her on a date, but she’s not the kind of person who does that.”

Another incident which left Braun “furious and disrespected” was when she met her ex-Jonathan Davino late last year. Ever since the beginning of their relationship there have been concerns about their 16-year age gap.

Sweeney and Braun were recently photographed on a low-key date night at Dave & Buster's in Hollywood, California. The reports of their outing came after their New Year’s trip to Europe.
