Hollywood’s rising star Sydney Sweeney is reportedly growing close to music mogul Scooter Braun — the powerhouse manager behind Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande — sparking concern among her friends.
According to The National Enquirer, while romance wasn’t originally part of Sweeney’s plans, she has become “smitten” with Braun and has started seeking his advice on nearly every major career decision.
“Sydney has the world at her feet. She doesn’t need Scooter’s help to get anything done — but lately, she’s been running all her business moves by him,” a source revealed.
Concern Among Friends
Those close to the Euphoria actress aren’t thrilled. Insiders say her friends are “baffled” by the sudden relationship, especially since Sweeney had vowed to stay single for at least a year after splitting from her longtime fiancé Jonathan Davino earlier this year.
“She told them she wanted to take time to rediscover herself after being in a relationship for years,” one tipster said. “Now it seems she’s fallen right back under someone’s influence.”
Scooter Braun’s Influence
Braun remains a polarizing figure in the entertainment industry, particularly after his highly publicized feud with Taylor Swift over music ownership rights.
Despite the controversies, he continues to wield considerable influence across Hollywood and the music business — which some observers say may explain Sweeney’s growing connection to him.
Fame, Pressure, and Personal Boundaries
For Sweeney, who has quickly become one of Hollywood’s most in-demand actresses, balancing fame and personal independence may be her next challenge.
Those close to her say the actress’s friends have one consistent message:
“Sydney doesn’t need anyone to define her — not even Scooter Braun.”
