Sydney Sweeney’s romantic life has fascinated fans as she balances breakout fame with a private dating history. The Emmy-nominated star of Euphoria and The White Lotus has seen her career skyrocket in recent years, drawing increased attention to her personal life despite her efforts to maintain privacy. Here’s what’s known about her confirmed and rumored relationships.
Jonathan Davino (2018-2024)
Sydney’s most significant relationship has been with Chicago-based businessman Jonathan Davino. The couple was first linked in 2018, with early sightings including courtside appearances at basketball games and occasional red carpet events. Despite their approximately 13-year age gap (Jonathan is in his late 30s), the pair maintained a steady, low-profile relationship for several years.
In early 2022, People magazine confirmed that Sydney and Jonathan had become engaged after she was spotted wearing a substantial diamond ring on her left hand. Throughout 2022 and 2023, Sydney continued wearing her engagement ring at various industry events while rarely discussing her relationship in interviews.
However, reports surfaced in early 2024 that the couple had quietly ended their engagement. According to sources, Sydney and Jonathan decided to part ways without making any formal announcement or public statement about the breakup. The pair had always kept their relationship relatively private, making the low-key split consistent with how they handled their romance throughout the years.
The restaurateur and business owner, who comes from a family that previously owned the Chicago-based pizza company Pompei, maintained a minimal social media presence throughout their relationship, rarely appearing in Sydney’s public-facing content.
Jacob Elordi (Rumored)
In 2023, rumors briefly circulated about a potential connection between Sydney and her Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi. The speculation began when the two were allegedly seen being flirty at an awards show afterparty. Fans had previously noted their compelling on-screen chemistry in Euphoria, where they share several intense scenes together.
However, no photographic evidence of romantic involvement ever emerged, and no credible sources confirmed any relationship between the co-stars. The rumors appeared to be primarily fan speculation based on their dynamic portrayal of troubled teenagers Cassie Howard and Nate Jacobs in the HBO series.
Glen Powell (Rumored)
Perhaps the most viral dating rumor surrounding Sydney emerged during the filming of romantic comedy Anyone But You with co-star Glen Powell in 2023. Behind-the-scenes videos and photos of the pair showing impressive chemistry both on and off camera fueled widespread speculation across social media platforms.
The timing of Powell’s breakup with his then-girlfriend Gigi Paris during the film’s production added fuel to the rumors, with fans convinced there was more than just professional acting happening between the co-stars. TikTok edits and fan theories analyzing their body language in interviews gained millions of views.
Both Sydney and Glen repeatedly denied any romantic involvement, insisting they were just friends with good on-screen chemistry. In interviews promoting the film, they acknowledged leaning into the dating rumors as an unintentional but effective marketing strategy for their romantic comedy. Sydney remained engaged to Jonathan Davino throughout this period of speculation.
Fan Reactions and Media Buzz
News of Sydney’s quiet breakup with Jonathan Davino surprised many fans who had grown accustomed to seeing the actress occasionally reference her engagement in interviews. Social media reactions revealed that many followers hadn’t realized how serious her off-camera relationship had been, as Sydney rarely shared details about her personal life.
Meanwhile, fan “shipping” of Sydney with her co-stars has become a regular occurrence online, with elaborate TikTok edits romanticizing her on-screen chemistry with both Jacob Elordi and Glen Powell. These fan-created narratives often blur the line between Sydney’s characters and her real life, despite her consistent efforts to maintain boundaries between the two.
As one of Hollywood’s fastest-rising stars, Sydney continues to navigate the challenges of maintaining personal privacy while satisfying public curiosity about her romantic life—a balancing act that becomes increasingly difficult as her fame continues to grow.
