Actress Sydney Sweeney was seen spending time with her boyfriend Scooter Braun's children in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The outing comes as Sweeney has been actively involved in wildfire relief efforts in her hometown of Spokane, Washington.
Sweeney, 28, and Braun's three children—Jagger Joseph, 11; Levi Magnus, nine; and Hart Violet, seven—were photographed picking up smoothies and strolling through the city. Braun shares these children with his ex-wife, Yael Cohen. Sweeney and Braun have been dating since September 2025.
This family outing follows recent efforts by Sweeney to support communities affected by devastating wildfires. Earlier in August, she volunteered in Spokane, helping to distribute meals to those impacted by the fires. She partnered with organizations such as World Central Kitchen and the Women and Children's Free Restaurant.
Sweeney stated that the wildfires had a significant impact on her hometown, affecting countless lives and displacing many families, including members of her own family. She noted that Spokane, unlike larger cities, often does not receive the same level of national attention and resources.
"Spokane has always been home to me," Sweeney wrote on social media. "It's where I grew up, where my family still lives, and where so many of the people and places that shaped me are."
She shared links to organizations aiding in relief efforts, including the Innovia Foundation, SpokAnimal, Watch Duty, and Second Harvest.
The actress's volunteer work, however, drew mixed reactions online. Some commentators accused her of seeking good publicity, referencing a controversial American Eagle advertising campaign from the previous year. The campaign, which played on the phrase "good jeans," faced accusations of promoting divisive messages.
Sweeney, who has received Emmy nominations for her roles in "The White Lotus" and "Euphoria," addressed the backlash surrounding the jeans ad in a previous interview. "I did a jean ad. The reaction definitely was a surprise, but I love jeans. All I wear are jeans. I’m literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life," she stated.
Despite some criticism, many fans defended Sweeney's actions, praising her for contributing to the relief efforts and calling her a positive role model. Others acknowledged that regardless of motive, her involvement was providing assistance to those in need.
Sweeney's family relocated from Spokane to Los Angeles in 2008 following economic difficulties, which led to them losing their home. She has since established herself in Hollywood and has also repurchased a house that once belonged to her great-grandparents.
