Sydney Sweeney is once again making headlines, but unlike her work, this time it is due to her new controversy related to the American Eagle ad. The actress featured in a new campaign for a popular jeans brand, which celebrated her good looks. However, among other things, the ad cheekily replaced the word ‘jeans’ with ‘genes’ that didn’t go down well with audiences who interpreted it as an underlying message for whiteness and beauty standards. While Sydney is on the receiving end of backlash, fans have once again turned their attention to the Euphoria actress’s love life, which always interests fans and media alike. Let’s take a look at it.
Sydney Sweeney had a publicised romance with Jonathan Davino
Sydney Sweeney’s most serious relationship was with Jonathan Davino, a businessman from Chicago who owns two restaurants in Chicago. Further, TMZ revealed that Jonathan’s family owns a device technology and packaging company, 14th Round and Final Bell. The two were first linked together after they attended the Emmys party in LA in 2018. Later that year, the ex-couple was seen at the InStyle and Kate Spade dinner party. After a couple of years, Just Jared reported that Sydney and Jonathan were caught kissing in Hawaii, where the actress was filming for The White Lotus, confirming their bond.
Several news reports later revealed that Jonathan and Sydney had gotten engaged. However, in February 2025, TMZ reported that they had postponed their wedding due to career issues, and within a month, PEOPLE confirmed that the pair had parted ways. Although no confirmed reason was given by either party, People and TMZ mentioned that the Madame Web actress was not ready to get married. Moreover, the insider explained that Sweeney ‘didn’t feel right’ about her relationship, which ended after seven years.
Sydney Sweeney’s and Glen Powell’s intense on-screen chemistry led to their dating buzz
After the news about Sydney Sweeney surfaced on the internet, the actress was rumoured to be dating her Anyone But You co-star, Glen Powell. The rumours began when they were on the press tour for their film. Speculations gained momentum when the duo leaned into the romantic tension during the promotions. Later, Glen confirmed to Business Insider that they had purposely played up their real-life chemistry to promote their film. But the speculation didn’t end as Glen and Sydney were seen together in Dallas after her split with Jonathan. Sharing details behind it, a source close to US Weekly reported:
“Nothing is going on romantically between Glen and Sydney. They are just friends.”
Sydney Sweeney’s alleged link-up with her new co-star, Brandon Sklenar
Sydney Sweeney was recently again linked up to her co-star, but this time it is with her The Housemaid co-star, Brandon Sklenar. They were caught dancing to performances by Creed and Lana Del Rey at Stagecoach Festival. Several videos from their hangout went viral and sparked new buzz about their possible romance. A news report by E! News further stated that they often used to spent time outside shooting Scofield.
