A source first told PEOPLE that Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun were “casually hooking up” on September 2.
Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun have been spending time together in New York City.
On Tuesday, November 4, Sweeney, 28, and Braun, 44, were spotted kissing while sitting on a large rock in N.Y.C.’s Central Park. A source confirmed to PEOPLE on September 2 that the Euphoria star and the record executive were “casually” dating.
After the two were seen holding hands during a night out in Los Angeles on September 30, a source told PEOPLE that Sweeney and Braun “have a lot in common and neither of them cares what anyone else thinks.”
That source added that the Euphoria star’s friends and family “are very happy about the relationship,” and also shared that “it’s really nice to see her so happy.”
The source also said that Scooter Braun’s friends are happy to see him spending time with Sweeney. “They say they haven’t seen him this settled in a relationship in a long time, and they can tell how much he adores her,” the insider said. “He feels she’s intelligent, warm, and genuinely funny, while she values that he understands her beyond all the outside noise.”
Sweeney split from her longtime fiance Jonathan Davino earlier this year. Braun was previously married to Yael Cohen from 2014 to 2021 and they finalized their divorce in 2022. The former couple shares three children: sons Jagger, 10, and Levi, 8, as well as daughter Hart, 6.

Sweeney is currently promoting her upcoming biopic, Christy, about professional boxer Christy Martin, which will be released in theaters on November 7. Another film of hers, a movie adaptation of The Housemaid, is also coming to theaters on December 25.
