Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney and music executive Scooter Braun were spotted sharing an intimate poolside moment, radiating gratitude for one another during a holiday gathering in the Florida Keys.
A Sun-Drenched Holiday Gathering
The new couple, who have been linked since June, hosted friends at Sweeney's Florida Keys home just days before the Thanksgiving holiday. The 28-year-old Euphoria star, clad in a plunging white swimsuit, was seen curling up close to her 44-year-old boyfriend as they waded in the water, a clear smile crossing her face during the tender moment.
Despite being surrounded by a group of pals, the pair managed to steal several instances of closeness. Sweeney was later seen playfully teasing Braun, gliding away from him on a blue floatie with a silly wave as the group engaged in a lively game of tossing a ball about in the pool.
The Progression of a Private Romance
The couple's connection first sparked after they crossed paths at the high-profile wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. Sources revealed to Page Six in September that Braun had been 'obsessed' with the actress following their initial meeting and actively began pursuing her.
Their relationship, initially described as 'casually dating' by TMZ, has since intensified considerably. A source disclosed to the Daily Mail, 'They talk every day and see each other often, it is hot and heavy.' The insider added, 'I don't want to say the L word, but it feels like the L word. They seem very much in love, or at least incredibly in lust.'
This burgeoning romance comes months after Sweeney ended her engagement to Jonathan Davino in March. The relationship appears to be progressing swiftly, with Sweeney reportedly introducing Braun to her parents during a Labour Day weekend retreat in Lake Tahoe.
Navigating Fame and New Love
While their romance heats up, both stars have endeavoured to keep things low-key. Sweeney has previously spoken about coping with the intense scrutiny that accompanies her personal life, telling Extra, 'You just know who you are. And the people who matter and are your friends and your family, they know who I am... Everything else is just noise.'
However, the attention was amplified earlier this month when the actress was photographed slipping into a car with her ex-fiancé, Davino, in Los Angeles. The brief encounter was reportedly tense, culminating with Sweeney allegedly shouting, 'I don't believe you. Please leave, leave me alone.'
Despite the frenzy, sources suggest the attraction between Sweeney and Braun is rooted in a mutual understanding, with the seasoned music executive providing guidance as Sweeney navigates her 'exploding career.' As one source aptly summarised, 'They have what each other wants.'
