Sydney Sweeney Turns Her Bath Water Into Limited-Edition Bar Soaps
Following the viral success of her steamy Dr. Squatch bubble bath ad, Sweeney has partnered with the natural soap brand to launch a limited-edition bar soap, Bathwater Bliss, crafted with repurposed suds from the bubble bath ad.
According to the brand, Bathwater Bliss blends exfoliating sand and pine bark with a splash of the actual suds from Sweeney’s original bath shoot.
It “channels two of the best places on Earth: the great outdoors and Sydney Sweeney’s bathtub,” the press release read.
In the press release announcing the limited-edition bar soap, Sweeney joked: “When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap.”

Another said, “Girl… I mean, get that bag, but also, why does she constantly objectify/sexualize herself in all of these commercials she does? Stand up, girl… you’re more than just a pretty face and body, you’re a promising A-list actress!

Sydney Sweeney Shares Cozy Moment With Famous Rapper
Fresh off her split from fiancé Jonathan Davino, Sweeney was spotted earlier this month sharing a cozy moment with Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) in Las Vegas.
In footage obtained by Page Six, the 27-year-old was seen getting close to the musician, 35, during the grand opening of the Palm Tree Beach Club at the MGM Grand Hotel, hosted by Tao Hospitality Group.
Sweeney turned heads in a white tank and denim mini skirt, while MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, kept it casual in baggy jeans and a red tank.
The two shared smiles, exchanged hugs, and leaned in often for private chats, sparking whispers about their undeniable chemistry. However, despite the flirty energy between them, sources pointed out that the pair have a friendly history, having co-starred in the 2021 musical film “Downfalls High.”
The Actress Sparked Dating Rumors With Co-Star Brandon Sklenar
Sweeney and her “The Housemaid” co-star Brandon Sklenar also sparked romance rumors at Stagecoach, although insiders confirmed it was all just friendly fun.
“They are just really good friends, and Sydney is living her best life right now,” a source told Us Weekly.
The source added that their chemistry may come off as romantic due to Sweeney’s naturally “flirtatious personality.”
Still, some onlookers at the Indio, California music festival couldn’t help but notice Sklenar’s attentive behavior.
“He was very attentive toward Sydney. It seemed like he was just there to have fun with her,” said one attendee, adding, “There is flirtatious chemistry with her and Brandon. People around them noticed.”

Why Sydney Sweeney Called Off Her Wedding To Jonathan Davino
People Magazine confirmed that Sweeney called off her wedding to Jonathan Davino after weeks of speculation about the state of their relationship.
A source close to the situation told the news outlet that the actress did not feel “right” about marrying Davino.
The source also noted that, unlike some people, Sweeney was not being “overwhelmed” by her busy work schedule, but was instead stressed out about a potential wedding to her then-fiancé.
“She’s exactly where she wants to be. Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She’s all about working right now and very excited about all her projects,” the source said.
“What did make her overwhelmed, though, was her relationship and her wedding. She didn’t feel right about it,” they added.
