Sydney Sweeney and her boyfriend Scooter Braun were seen together in Venice, Italy, on Friday, September 4, 2026, during the city's film festival. The couple was photographed holding hands while riding in a water taxi.
Sweeney, 28, wore a white lace dress with a boxy neckline, a design by Vivienne Westwood, paired with dark brown heels and sunglasses. Braun, 45, opted for a light green shirt and beige shorts.
The pair also attended the Armani Beauty party on Thursday night. The day prior, they were seen enjoying a gondola ride, during which they shared a kiss. Sweeney wore a white summer dress with a yellow jumper draped over her shoulders, while Braun wore blue shorts, a white shirt, and a baseball cap.
Sweeney and Braun have been romantically linked since September of the previous year. They were previously seen together in Los Angeles with Braun's three children: Jagger Joseph, 11, Levi Magnus, nine, and Hart Violet, seven, whom he shares with his ex-wife Yael Cohen. Braun and Cohen's divorce was finalized in 2022.
Their relationship reportedly began after they met at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice in June of the previous year. Sources have indicated that the couple is taking their relationship slowly. In December of the previous year, it was reported that their relationship was serious and committed.
Sweeney has previously spoken about the challenges of navigating a public relationship. In January of the current year, she commented on how her personal life is perceived, stating, "Sometimes I'll think that I can do a normal thing and have a date in a normal way, and then it gets perceived in a very non-normal way. It's kind of sad." She added that while she understands her public status, she is still in her 20s and figuring out love, which is difficult with public opinion. She also noted her past focus on work and a current desire to experience more, while acknowledging the difficulty of doing so in the public eye.
Braun commented on Sweeney in May of the current year, describing her as "an extraordinary woman who is kind and generous and smart, and real and down to earth."
