2025 has been a year of unwanted controversies for Sidney Sweeney.
Many fans were hoping that 2026 would be a quieter time, with more focus on the actress’ clothing brand and crafts.
Instead, she’s now Instagram official with Scooter Braun, one of music’s most controversial figures.
He calls himself a “lucky bastard” because of the relationship. It will be difficult for you to find someone who does not agree with you.
Like it or not, it’s official
For several months – the better part of a year in fact – they kept this romance limited to mere rumors.
Some even briefly thought it was over.
No such luck.
This month, Scooter and Sydney relaxed enough to not only walk around in public, but to kiss in public at premieres.
As you can see below, she shared a photo on her Instagram Story of them hugging each other. Scooter went even further.

When Scooter shared Sydney’s story post on his own Stories, he added a small comment.
“Lucky bastard,” he wrote.
From context and common sense, it is clear that he was writing about himself.
Sydney is one of the most beautiful and widely desired human beings on the planet.
It is possible that Scooter is experiencing something similar Imposter syndrome on this relationship. So who can blame him?
What are you thinking?
The scooter isn’t just controversial among Swifties — although Taylor Swift’s beef with it is the most well-known.
Other stars — including Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande and more — have separated themselves from the billionaire.
Although Scooter helped save the singer’s life during some of his darkest times about a decade ago, Justin Bieber’s fans also have some understandable complaints with the man.
There is also an age gap. She is 28, he is 44. This is not “problematic”, but it is worth noting.
Many find scooters disgusting. His post, which some likened to Gloatingdoesn’t change that for Sydney fans.

While covering the alleged feud between Sidney and Zendaya, we reported on an eye-opening allegation.
Sydney was allegedly inappropriately flirting with Tom Holland when he visited trance hiring.
We have mentioned that, although anything is possible, that It doesn’t really seem right.
With the extremely narrow window for the public to pursue Sydney’s romantic choices, she never turns to the hottest man in the room.
She acts alongside some widely sought-after men – men her own age, sometimes. But that was never who she dated. Not in public anyway.
This pairing shouldn’t make sense to anyone else
He was no He called Scooter Braun “ugly.” He is definitely a handsome man.
But even if he’s not 16 years older than Sydney, it’s never an insult to call someone out Less handsome than Tom Holland or Less desirable than Yaqoub Al-Wardi.
Almost every person on the planet fits this description. But these two are at different levels of hotness.
We don’t understand your dating options in Sydney. But we don’t have to do that either.
She is allowed to date anyone she likes. Even if this guy is very controversial. She doesn’t need permission from her fans.
