Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun\u2019s romance is heating up, and those closest to them couldn\u2019t be happier.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just weeks after PEOPLE confirmed that the pair were \u201ccasually\u201d dating, new details show that their connection is only getting stronger.<\/p>\n
According to a source, the 28-year-old Euphoria actress and the 44-year-old music executive \u201chave a lot in common and neither one of them cares what others think.\u201d Sweeney\u2019s inner circle is said to be relieved to see her in a relationship where she seems \u201cgenuinely happy,\u201d and Braun\u2019s friends have reportedly noticed a positive shift in him as well. \u201cThey say it\u2019s been a long time since they\u2019ve seen him this settled in a relationship, and they can tell how much he admires her,\u201d the insider revealed.<\/p>\n
Sweeney and Braun have been spotted out together several times this month, further fueling the buzz. On September 27, Braun attended Sweeney\u2019s 28th birthday celebration, showing his support as she rang in the milestone with friends. The very next night, the couple were seen holding hands while enjoying Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood with her family and friends.<\/p>\n
The two first sparked romance rumors in early September when PEOPLE reported they were \u201ccasually hooking up\u201d after being spotted together at Jeff Bezos and Lauren S\u00e1nchez\u2019s lavish wedding in Italy back in June. But what really caught Sweeney\u2019s attention, according to a source, was Braun\u2019s approach that night. \u201cEveryone else was trying to hit on her, but Scooter wasn\u2019t. He wasn\u2019t pursuing her the way others did, and that\u2019s what made her feel his intentions were real,\u201d the insider explained.<\/p>\n
Since then, their bond has grown more natural and effortless. \u201cFor both of them, the relationship feels easy and natural, and the people closest to them on both sides are happy to see that,\u201d another source confirmed.<\/p>\n
Both Sweeney and Braun are entering this new chapter after previous long-term relationships. Sweeney ended her engagement to businessman Jonathan Davino in March after seven years together, while Braun was married to Yael Cohen from 2014 to 2021 before finalizing their divorce in 2022. He shares three children with Cohen: sons Jagger, 10, and Levi, 8, along with daughter Hart, 6.<\/p>\n
The pair also reportedly spent Labor Day weekend together at Lake Tahoe, hinting that their connection had been developing steadily over the summer. An insider noted that while Braun \u201cis not really her type,\u201d Sweeney was drawn to his confidence and attentiveness. \u201cSyd was intrigued – Scooter\u2019s a charmer. He\u2019s confident, but also sweet and very attentive,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n
Now, with the couple openly appearing together at events, it\u2019s clear they are embracing their relationship without worrying about outside opinions. For Sweeney\u2019s loved ones, the joy lies in finally seeing her smile again. As one insider put it, \u201cFor them, it\u2019s such a relief to see her genuinely happy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
