Sydney Sweeney, the 28-year-old star of HBO's Euphoria, and Scooter Braun, the 45-year-old music mogul known for managing Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, are reportedly ready to take their relationship to the next level. According to an insider speaking to a US entertainment outlet, the pair are considering a secret elopement in 2026, bypassing a traditional wedding due to Sweeney's demanding professional commitments.
Sweeney, who has become one of Hollywood's most sought-after actresses, currently has multiple film projects in development and is building her own production company. 'There is no time to plan a wedding, but there is definitely time to run away and get married – and both think the time is now,' the source revealed. The couple, who went public with their romance in May 2025 after attending the Stagecoach Festival together, are said to be deeply committed.
This would be Sweeney's second high-profile engagement. She was previously engaged to businessman Jonathan Davino for three years before the pair called it quits in March 2025. 'Sydney has been engaged before and wants to go straight to marriage this time,' the insider explained. 'She believes that Scooter is a keeper – he is incredibly supportive and helpful with her plans to start a production company, and sees no point in a long engagement when their connection is so solid.'
The Couple's Relationship Timeline
Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun first met in the summer of 2025 at the star-studded wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice, Italy. At the time, both were single – Sweeney had recently ended her engagement, and Braun had been divorced from Yael Cohen since 2022, with whom he shares three children. The two were first linked as a couple in September 2025, but they kept their relationship private for several months. In May 2026, Sweeney posted photos from the Stagecoach Festival in California, captioning them 'Cowboy kind of weekend,' officially confirming their romance.
Since then, the couple has been spotted together at NBA Finals games and various industry events. Braun, who sold his company Ithaca Holdings to HYBE in 2021 and now focuses on new ventures, is said to be fully supportive of Sweeney's career goals.
Sydney Sweeney's Career Ascension
Sweeney rose to fame as Cassie Howard in Euphoria, earning two Emmy nominations for her performance. She also starred in the first season of The White Lotus and appeared in films such as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Voyeurs, and the 2023 romantic comedy Anyone But You opposite Glen Powell. In 2024, she starred in and executive produced Madame Web and the reality series Reality. Currently, she is developing several independent projects through her production company, Fifty-Fifty Films, focusing on stories about strong female characters.
Her packed schedule includes filming for the upcoming Euphoria season 3, a biopic about boxing legend Christy Martin, and a thriller titled The Player's Table. With such a heavy workload, a traditional elaborate wedding would be almost impossible to plan, making the elopement option extremely practical.
Scooter Braun's Background
Scooter Braun is one of the most influential figures in the music industry. He discovered Justin Bieber on YouTube in 2008 and went on to manage Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, and others. His sale of Ithaca Holdings to HYBE for over $1 billion in 2021 made headlines, as did his controversial feud with Taylor Swift regarding the ownership of her master recordings. Since stepping back from full-time management in 2023, Braun has focused on technology, philanthropy, and family life. He shares three children with ex-wife Yael Cohen, whom he divorced in 2022 after eight years of marriage.
Sources close to the couple say that Braun is eager to help Sweeney build her production company and is not intimidated by her career ambitions. 'They are a power couple in the making,' one insider commented.
The Appeal of Eloping
In Hollywood, elopement is becoming an increasingly popular choice for celebrities who want to avoid the stress and media frenzy of a traditional wedding. Stars like Miley Cyrus, Emilia Clarke, and even Ben Affleck have chosen small, private ceremonies. For Sweeney and Braun, a secret wedding would allow them to focus on their relationship without the pressure of a lavish event. 'Sydney wants something intimate and meaningful, not a circus,' the source added.
The reported timeline of 2026 aligns with breaks in Sweeney's filming schedule, making it feasible. Braun, who has already been through a public marriage, is said to be comfortable with a low-key celebration. The couple's families are supportive, though they have not yet received official invitations.
What's Next for the Couple
While neither Sweeney nor Braun has publicly commented on the rumors, their actions suggest a serious commitment. Braun recently sold his Los Angeles mansion and is reportedly looking for a new home with Sweeney. The actress has also been seen wearing a new ring on her left hand, fueling speculation of a secret engagement.
With both careers on upward trajectories, the pair are likely to remain in the spotlight. Sweeney's upcoming projects include a lead role in the Euphoria spin-off series and a collaboration with director Paul Thomas Anderson. Braun continues to invest in tech startups and music ventures.
Whether they choose to elope in a courthouse or a chapel, one thing is clear: Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun are determined to build a life together, and they are not waiting around to do it.
