Love is no longer a rumor — it’s now on full display. Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney, 28, and music executive Scooter Braun, 44, were photographed kissing in New York City’s Central Park, marking the first time the pair has openly shown affection in public.
The couple was spotted sitting together on a rock, where they leaned in close, talked casually, and shared several intimate kisses, according to photos obtained by Page Six.
Sweeney looked relaxed and stylish in a fur-trimmed jacket, blue jeans, and brown boots, her short blonde hair framing her face as she leaned toward Braun.
He sported a navy fleece jacket layered over a white shirt, paired with jeans, brown loafers, and a baseball cap. At one point, Braun was seen helping Sweeney down from the rock, maintaining a close, affectionate presence.
Their romance reportedly began last June in Venice, Italy, during the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.
Sources say Braun became “smitten” with Sweeney and actively pursued her afterward.
Since then, the pair has shared several notable moments together, including a lakeside getaway over Labor Day weekend, multiple date nights in Los Angeles, celebrations for Sweeney’s birthday, and even a Halloween outing with her parents at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights. They have also been photographed holding hands across various outings.
Earlier on the same day as their Central Park moment, the couple was seen at the Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park in one of the venue’s private “Cozy Igloos” — a reservation-only experience that had not yet officially opened for the season.
A source said the pair appeared to be enjoying themselves as they relaxed with friends and snacked on pretzels, chicken fingers, and hot chocolate.
Sweeney has also recently been seen reconnecting with her ex-fiancé and current business partner Jonathan Davino. Despite this, those close to Braun say he remains “smitten” and unbothered by her ongoing professional ties.
The public outing came just after Sweeney appeared on Good Morning America to promote her upcoming film Christy, inspired by the life of former boxing champion Christy Martin.
By afternoon, she and Braun had shifted from work mode to romantic escapism in Central Park.
