Sydney Sweeney Sparks Breakup Rumors After Instagram Activity
Fans are currently speculating about the relationship status of actress Sydney Sweeney.
Sweeney, 27, became engaged to producer Jonathan Davino, 41, in February 2022. Recently, observers noticed that the Anyone But You star seemingly removed a photograph of herself kissing Davino from her Instagram account. This image was reportedly taken during the holiday season, as the couple celebrated the start of 2024.
Social Media Fuels Speculation
On Monday, March 24, the Instagram gossip account Deuxmoi reported that Sweeney had “deleted [her] NYE picture” with Davino. The account further speculated, “Think they might be broken up,” adding to online discussions that the private pair may have ended their relationship.
Representatives for Sweeney have been contacted for comment by news outlets.
A Private Relationship in the Public Eye
In December 2023, Sweeney and Davino were seen dining at Crane Club, a New York City steakhouse, both wearing matching leather attire. Their relationship, which began around 2018, has largely remained away from public attention.
Sweeney previously stated her preference for dating outside the entertainment industry. In a February 2022 interview with Cosmopolitan, she explained, “I don’t date actors or musicians or anyone in entertainment because I can just be normal Syd that way and it’s easiest,” adding, “I have a great support system. I have people who will battle for me and allow me to be on the pedestal and shine without making me feel like, ‘Oh no, I’m shining too bright and I need to step back.’”
She further elaborated on her ideal partner, stating, “I need to be able to be with someone who I can literally hang out with 24/7 and never get sick of and we laugh every single day.”
Engagement rumors surrounding the White Lotus actress and Davino first emerged that same month when Sweeney was photographed wearing a diamond ring. News outlets confirmed their engagement in March 2022.
Addressing Rumors and Relationship Strength
During her Saturday Night Live hosting gig two years later, Sweeney publicly acknowledged Davino in her monologue. She playfully addressed the unfounded rumors of a romantic connection between herself and her Anyone But You co-star, Glen Powell, who was present in the audience.
“That’s obviously not true,” she clarified at the time. “Me and my fiancé produced the movie together and he was there the entire shoot, and I just want to let everyone know that he’s the man of my dreams and we’re still together and stronger than ever.”
Recent Solo Trip and Social Media Posts
Sweeney recently vacationed in Africa with friends, sharing moments from the trip on Instagram.
“This was wild,” she captioned a Saturday, March 22, social media post featuring her safari experiences and encounters with elephants, giraffes, and leopards. The post also included a video of her laughing with friends – Davino was not present in these posts.
