Sydney Sweeney’s off-screen life is back in the spotlight. More than six months after the Euphoria star reportedly called off her engagement to Jonathan Davino, the pair were seen spending time together in Los Angeles on November 1, prompting fresh conversation about where they stand now.
In photos published by the Daily Mail on November 2, Sweeney—sporting a new bob, jean shorts, and a brown leather jacket—was photographed riding shotgun in a car driven by Davino after a low-key dinner with friends at Italian hotspot Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. The sighting didn’t feature overt PDA, but their relaxed, familiar vibe has fans wondering whether the former couple may be on friendlier terms than expected.
Sweeney and Davino have historically kept their relationship private, rarely addressing their status publicly. Their latest outing, quiet as it was, marked the first notable appearance together since reports of their split, making it a noteworthy moment amid ongoing interest in the actress’s personal life.
A Low-Key Night Out Sparks Reconciliation Buzz
The Santa Monica dinner was understated by design: a quick meal with friends followed by a casual exit to the car, no grand gestures or social media updates. Yet the timing and circumstances drew attention. With Sweeney’s profile rising thanks to projects like Euphoria and Anyone But You, any glimpse into her life outside of work tends to generate conversation—especially when it involves a familiar face like Davino.
While the pair did not confirm their relationship status during the outing, their comfortable demeanor added a new chapter to a story that seemed to have concluded earlier this year. For observers, it’s less about definitive answers and more about what the sighting suggests: that the two are at least on amicable terms, regardless of where things head next.
Recent Headlines Have Linked Sweeney To Scooter Braun
The quiet reunion arrives as Sweeney continues to navigate public speculation around her dating life. In late September, she was photographed dining with music executive Scooter Braun at Jon & Vinny’s in Los Angeles. Images captured Braun opening a car door for Sweeney as the two left the restaurant, a small moment that nonetheless fueled a wave of attention.
Multiple outlets reported that Sweeney and Braun became friendly after attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Italian wedding in June. However, neither Sweeney nor Braun has commented on the nature of their relationship. Without official statements, the narrative has remained based on sightings and third-party reports—something Sweeney has previously suggested can take on a life of its own.
Onscreen Chemistry With Glen Powell Fueled Separate Rumors
Meanwhile, Sweeney’s promotional tour for Anyone But You amplified another thread of speculation: her rapport with co-star Glen Powell. The duo’s playful dynamic during interviews and press stops launched months of chatter about whether their rom-com chemistry extended off-screen. The rumor mill kicked into higher gear when Sweeney attended the wedding of Powell’s sister, Leslie Powell, shortly after her breakup news circulated.
Powell addressed the situation during an April 2 appearance on Jenna & Friends, deflecting the dating buzz with humor before clarifying that Sweeney was supporting his family. “Timing is everything in this world, isn’t it?” he joked, later adding, “I mean, she and Syd are obviously great friends.”
Sweeney echoed that sentiment in an October 27 interview with Variety, emphasizing that headlines overstated what was actually happening behind the scenes. “Honestly, the press did it themselves,” she said. “There was no leaning in, per se. Truly the tabloids and journalists just created it and kept going.”
She also underscored the creative connection that audiences responded to. “I love being with him,” Sweeney shared of working alongside Powell. “And I think people just truly saw a really beautiful pairing.” It’s a reminder that strong onscreen chemistry is often just that—a product of collaboration, not confirmation of real-life romance.
Where Things Stand For Sydney Sweeney
Across the board, Sweeney has maintained a careful line between public interest and personal boundaries. Whether it’s a friendly dinner with Davino, a photographed meal with Braun, or viral interview moments with Powell, the star has consistently favored minimal commentary over public play-by-plays.
The November 1 outing fits that pattern: a brief, unflashy appearance that still resonated with fans paying close attention. For now, there’s no official word from Sweeney or Davino about a reconciliation or renewed engagement, and their choice to keep things private leaves room for quiet coexistence away from the headlines.
As Sweeney’s career continues to accelerate, with major projects and high-profile partnerships drawing attention, the actress appears intent on letting her work do most of the talking. The latest sighting may not offer definitive answers, but it does underline a consistent truth in the age of constant visibility: sometimes the most telling moments are the ones that don’t demand a statement at all.
