Scooter Braun publicly praised Sydney Sweeney’s work on Euphoria Season 3 during a May 28 podcast appearance, offering some of his most direct comments yet about the 28-year-old actress. On the Second Thought podcast with Suzy Weiss, Braun said he had met “an extraordinary woman” and described the relationship as “one of the biggest surprises ever.”
The comments landed now because Braun did not just talk around the romance — he also signaled he watches the HBO series starring Zendaya and Jacob Elordi regularly, then pointed to what he called “an incredible performance by a certain actress.” He added, “I am catching it. I’m biased, I like it,” before making clear he was speaking from inside the relationship, even if he stopped short of saying Sweeney’s name in the praise itself.
That matters because the pair have been the subject of public attention for months. Dating rumors first started in June 2025 at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Venice, Italy, and Sweeney later gave the relationship a more public face earlier this month by posting photos from Stagecoach on Instagram with the caption “cowboy kind of weekend.” Braun also went Instagram official of his own by reposting a black-and-white photo of the two on his Stories.
There is still a gap between visibility and clarity. Braun chose warm words over specifics, praising the performance without naming Sweeney directly in that moment, even as he called her “kind and generous and smart, and real and down to earth.” He also said, “I’m enjoying my relationship, I’m enjoying my children, I’m enjoying my friends. I’m enjoying my life,” a line that suggests he is content to keep the romance defined on his own terms.
For now, the biggest unanswered question is not whether Braun is willing to speak about Sweeney, but how public he plans to make the relationship from here. Sweeney ended her seven-year relationship and engagement to businessman Jonathan Davino in March 2025, and the new remarks only deepen the attention around a couple that already moved from rumor to open acknowledgment faster than either seemed likely to explain in full.
