Sydney Sweeney, the star of 'Euphoria' and 'Housemaid', was photographed strolling arm in arm with former record executive Scooter Braun in the exclusive Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. The images, captured during a casual afternoon, show the couple in an apparently affectionate moment, sparking curiosity and speculation. In the photographs, Sweeney, 28, sported a casual yet elegant look: a white T-shirt, belted jeans, boots, and sunglasses, with her head down. Braun, 44, wore a white shirt, khaki shorts, and sneakers. The scene, in which Braun was carrying a grocery bag, contrasts with the actress's recent statements about her independence. "I don't need a man." Just a few weeks ago, in an interview with Cosmopolitan, Sweeney was emphatic: "I'm in charge of my life. I take control. I go after what I want. I'm confident, I'm successful, and I really don't need a man." The actress, who recently launched her lingerie line Syrn, explained that her circle of friends and work team, composed mostly of women, can be intimidating to many men. “It takes a very specific person who can handle the world that comes with” dating her, she stated, recalling a past relationship that didn't work out because her partner “couldn't handle my world.” Sweeney also mentioned that she's looking for someone athletic, capable of climbing a mountain or skydiving with her. Sweeney and Braun were first linked after meeting at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in June 2015. Rumors of a relationship intensified in September of the same year. Since then, they have been seen together on several occasions: from an intimate dinner with friends, including Usher, last month, to riding a jet ski in Florida in November. The actress ended her engagement to Jonathan Davino in March 2025, with whom she had been involved since 2018. Braun, for his part, was married to Yael Cohen Braun from 2014 until their divorce in 2022.

The images from Brentwood don't confirm a relationship, but they do show a visible connection. In the world of celebrities, where privacy is a luxury, this casual stroll becomes an eloquent message:even the most independent of stars can enjoy an arm to read on during a quiet Sunday in Los Angeles.
