Sydney Sweeney Climbs Hollywood Sign and Decorates It With Bras in New Video
Sydney Sweeney won’t settle for anything less than a fairytale love.
The Euphoria actress—who has been linked to Scooter Braun since June 2025—recently got candid about her view on romance and what she’s looking for in an ideal relationship.
While comparing romantic love to a feeling of “freedom,” Sydney told Cosmopolitan in an interview published on Jan. 29, “You know in The Princess Diaries when Anne Hathaway says that when she kisses the guy she knows she’s supposed to be with, her foot will flip up? That’s what love feels like.”
“The lights will magically turn on,” the 29-year-old added. “The birds will start flying. The fountains start shooting water. Love is a Disney movie.”
Indeed, Sydney knows a thing or two about love, having been linked to Scooter, 44, since June 2025 after they attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez‘s wedding in Italy. By September of that year, multiple outlets confirmed that the Housemaid star and music exec—who split from his wife Yael Cohen Braun in 2021 after seven years of marriage—were dating.
They’ve since been seen out together multiple times, with their most recent outings taking place at Dave & Buster’s in Hollywood earlier this month and a New Year’s trip to Europe, according to People.
However, Sydney sees the attention on her love life differently, opting not to acknowledge dating specifics in her interview.
“Sometimes I’ll think that I can do a normal thing and have a date in a normal way, and then it gets perceived in a very non-normal way,” she told Cosmo. “It’s kind of sad.”

The Syrn lingerie founder—who broke up with fiancé Jonathan Davino in March 2025 after seven years together—emphasized the need for privacy, sharing, “I think it’s important to have some things for myself. I understand that I’m a public person, but I’m still in my 20s. I’m still figuring out love, and it’s hard to do that with millions of people who have their own opinions of what that looks like.”
“At the same time, for all of my 20s, I put my head down and focused on work—and now I want to experience things,” she continued. “But it’s hard deciding that I want to experience love in the public eye. I’m just navigating it all.”

As she continues her search for her Prince Charming, Sydney is clear on one thing: “I look for someone who will be my best friend, who I can hang out with, talk to all the time, dream up things with, and work with.”
Describing her type as someone who is “athletic and outgoing and funny,” she added, “I am a boss in my life. I take control. I go after what I want. I am confident, and I am successful, and I don’t actually need a man. I’ve got myself. I’ve got an incredible group of girlfriends. I’ve got a team of badass women. That is very intimidating to a lot of guys, so a guy needs to be able to stand in that with me. It takes a very specific person who can handle the world that comes with me.”
