Sydney Sweeney Addresses Relationship Rumors Amid Wedding Postponement Reports
Sydney Sweeney, the celebrated actress, appeared unconcerned by recent reports suggesting a strain in her relationship with fiancé Jonathan Davino and purported wedding postponement. The Euphoria star shared a captivating underwater video on Thursday, seemingly brushing aside any personal turbulence.
Actress Seeks Solace Underwater
Amid swirling speculation that the 27-year-old actress and Davino, 41, are navigating a challenging period to determine the future of their relationship, Sydney Sweeney conveyed an air of tranquility. She posted a video showcasing herself gracefully swimming, suggesting a search for peace during a potentially difficult time.
The Anyone But You actress was captured by photographer Amber Asaly in a striking white bikini, striking poses as she floated in a pool, releasing bubbles, and reaching towards the water’s surface. The footage presented a serene and composed image of the star.
Sweeney, known for her role in Euphoria, highlighted her fit physique in the white two-piece swimsuit, reclining and gazing upwards in the alluring short clip.
Adding a layer of emotional context, the video was accompanied by the melancholic classic “Wicked Game” by Chris Isaak, often interpreted as a song about heartbreak and longing.
Social Media Response
The post resonated strongly with her audience, quickly amassing over 1.6 million likes within an hour on Instagram. Fans flooded the comments section, lauding her as a ‘real-life mermaid’ and expressing admiration.
Relationship History and Current Speculation
Sweeney and Davino, her long-term partner, began their relationship in 2018 and announced their engagement in 2022. They have generally maintained a discreet profile regarding their personal life.
However, recent reports indicate a shift. An inside source informed DailyMail.com about the couple’s decision to postpone their wedding, initially planned for May.
According to the insider, the pair is experiencing a ‘rough patch,’ prompting them to ‘reassess’ the viability of their continued union.
Adding fuel to the conjecture, Sweeney recently removed a photograph featuring her kissing Davino from a New Year’s Instagram album.
Earlier reports this week, via Us Weekly, suggested the couple had ‘called off the wedding’ entirely, though they have not reportedly ended their relationship.
Notably, Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino have not been seen together publicly since January, and she has reportedly been residing at the Beverly Hills Hotel since mid-February.
Sources Detail Relationship Challenges
An unnamed source disclosed, ‘Sydney and Jonathan have been encountering significant issues but have not completely separated. The situation is currently challenging, but they are not yet giving up. They are trying to resolve their issues but have postponed the wedding for the time being.’
The informant further claimed, ‘They were scheduled to marry this spring. The wedding is off, and they are not discussing alternative dates. Sydney reportedly wished to cancel everything, overwhelmed by the stress.’
Career Demands and Relationship Strain
‘Many of their problems arise because Sydney is overwhelmingly busy with professional commitments,’ the source further asserted.
Sweeney’s schedule is packed with numerous projects, including her return to the popular series Euphoria and her role as Cassie Howard.
She is also set to star in a remake of the 1960s film Barbarella, originally starring Jane Fonda, and has completed filming a biopic about pioneering boxer Christy Martin from the 1980s.
The actress recently finished filming “The Housemaid” alongside Brandon Sklenar from “It Ends With Us” and is slated to portray Kim Novak in “Scandalous!”, a film about the Old Hollywood icon’s romance with Sammy Davis Jr.
The source explained, ‘Sydney has limited downtime, which creates strain in their relationship. Sydney is deeply committed to her career. Jonathan desires more shared quality time.’
The insider also mentioned: ‘Tensions escalate during her movie promotions as she must fully dedicate herself to the project, and there is constant speculation about their relationship and Sydney’s closeness with co-stars. It’s a difficult dynamic for Jonathan.’
Publicity Gambit and Past Rumors
In 2023, during the promotional phase for their romantic comedy Anyone But You with Glen Powell, rumors of an alleged on-set romance emerged. Both Sweeney and Powell playfully engaged with the speculation, which was later acknowledged as a deliberate strategy to boost publicity for the film.
Powell himself admitted the tactic ‘worked wonderfully,’ contributing to the movie’s commercial success. He remarked to the New York Times, ‘Sydney is very smart.’
Future Uncertainties
These recent claims follow an earlier report from a DailyMail.com source stating, ‘Sydney and Jonathan are experiencing a difficult phase in their relationship and have chosen to spend time apart to reassess whether prioritizing their relationship is more crucial than moving forward independently.’
The source continued, ‘Sydney’s career is flourishing, and she is prioritizing that. Settling down now might not be the appropriate step. Sydney desires marriage and a family, but not as imminently as she initially thought, and not necessarily on Jonathan’s timeline. This difference in perspective is causing friction.’
The insider concluded, stating they ‘do not want to officially break up, but friends are concerned that is the likely outcome,’ emphasizing, ‘He is older, and she is entering a significant phase of her professional life. She must determine her priorities.’
Earlier Comments on Wedding Plans
Back in 2023, Sydney Sweeney admitted her inability to focus on wedding preparations, stating in an Entertainment Tonight interview, ‘I am so busy working! I’m a workaholic and I love it, I love it.’
Financial Background and Work Ethic
Last year, Sweeney openly discussed her strong drive to earn income, stemming from witnessing her family’s financial hardships during her childhood.
‘I come from a family where I witnessed my parents lose everything, and that fear is deeply ingrained in me. It will always be with me,’ she revealed to Glamour.
‘I am a significant saver. I don’t impulsively spend money. I prefer to invest, particularly in real estate. I aim to make prudent financial decisions with my earnings. However, I don’t anticipate ever feeling truly secure financially.’
Business Partnership
Beyond their romantic involvement, Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino are also business associates through their production company, Fifty-Fifty Films.
She recently refuted suggestions that Davino solely funds the company, asserting, ‘You can have a healthy relationship and be professionally successful without needing a man to provide for you. We are a team. We are in this together, and we mutually support each other’s success.’
