Sydney Sweeney Reveals Her Ideal Man Amid Romance Questions

Sydney Sweeney does not build romance with men who do not cross off important attributes on her checklist, and Scooter Braun has made the cut!

The Hollywood sensation got candid about her must-haves in a man, while ears are lingering for details on her blossoming relationship with her recent beau.

Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun’s romance kicked off shortly after the the actress’s seven and a half year long relationship with Jonathan Davino ended. The former lovers had forever in sight as they were engaged with hopes of building a family, but ultimately had to part ways early last year.

Sweeney has it out for older men as she is now in her second public relationship with a much older boyfriend. She recently spilled the tea on the type of men she finds attractive and the particular qualities they must have.

The actress keeps an active lifestyle, hence she shared that the men she dates must be “athletic, funny, and outgoing.” Describing herself as a sporty girl, she continued saying she needs someone willing and able to do certain activities like mountainclimbing and skydiving with her.

The “Housemaid” actress did not only dwell on the physical attributes, but she also emphasized that the man must be someone who loves his family and must be masculine in his element. Speaking to Cosmopolitan, she said:

“Look, 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.”

She went on explaining that she has a tight-knit group of successful girlfriends, and most men often find that intimidating, so she needs a guy to be able to stand in that with her.

Sweeney reflected on her love life briefly, recalling someone she liked in the past, but things did not work out between them because he could not cope with her world. “There was a guy who I really, really liked, but he told me he can’t handle my world. It’s a hard thing,” she recalled.

Sweeney dated 41-year-old Davino for almost eight years before they called it quits early last year. Over the course of the relationship, they tried to keep public media intervention to a minimum.

She previously spoke about this decision in an interview where she revealed the conscious effort it took to maintain privacy; she never spoke about it and limited public appearances.

“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,” the 28-year-old said.

The Daily Mail shared that after dedicating many years to her job, she intends to now open up to new romantic experiences. The pair got engaged in 2022, almost three years before their split, and at the time, the Hollywood star was eager to build a family with Davino.

Inevitably, they had to go their separate ways as she got cold feet about settling down in the midst of her bubbling career.

Speculations that Sweeney’s relationship with Braun might end before it even begins arose as fans wondered what the new year holds for the couple. Astrologer Inbaal Honigman took a look at their cosmic compatibility and what 2026 may have for them.

The Blast shared the astrologer’s findings, which began with an analysis of their zodiac signs. Braun is a Gemini, and the actress is a Virgo, and thus they have different natural attributes.

Honigman described Geminis as erratic, inconsistent, and constantly needing change, while Virgos are more practical and meticulous. From her analysis, she drew that the duo may struggle in the long term as their signs are only partly compatible.

Honigman added that for them to work together as a couple, they have to learn to embrace and accept their differences rather than try to erase or change them.

Love thrives between Sweeney and Braun, and they are not hiding that fact. Last November, the duo was spotted on a date at the Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park, where they could not keep their hands off each other.

Although they tried to stay away from everything and everyone while getting all up in their feelings, cameras still caught them leaning in for a kiss. The Blast shared that they spent quality time in one of their reserved private igloos, watched ice skaters in the rink, and had a good meal together.
