Sydney Sweeney Spotted with Ex-Fiancé Jonathan Davino Amid Breakup Speculation
Actress Sydney Sweeney and her former fiancé, Jonathan Davino, were recently seen together in Los Angeles, marking their first public appearance since reports emerged of their separation and the cancellation of their wedding plans. The Anyone But You star, who has also been at the center of dating rumors with co-star Glen Powell, maintained a notably subdued demeanor during the outing with Davino, further fueling speculation about their breakup.
Subdued Outing in Los Angeles
The 27-year-old Anyone But You actress displayed a serious expression as she walked with Davino, 41, and their dog Tank on Sunday in Los Angeles. Sweeney opted for a casual ensemble, wearing a blue hoodie, jeans, and sunglasses. Davino, identified as a former restaurateur, was seen in a navy tracksuit as they had what appeared to be a low-key lunch together.
Eyewitness accounts suggest a tense atmosphere, with Sweeney appearing unresponsive. At one point, Davino was observed placing his arm on Sweeney’s back in what seemed to be a comforting gesture during a somber conversation. Sweeney also notably concealed her left hand, where she had previously been seen without her engagement ring.
Wedding Called Off Amid “Major Issues”
Reports surfaced last week indicating that the Euphoria star and the film producer had reportedly called off their wedding. Sources cited “significant issues” that had strained their relationship, leading to the cancellation of their nuptials. The couple, who began dating in 2018 and became engaged in 2022, had generally kept their relationship out of the public eye.
Timeline of Separation and Relationship Hints
Despite their private nature, details surrounding their split have begun to emerge. While initial reports suggested a wedding postponement planned for May, sources now claim the pair separated in January and have been leading separate lives for months. Prior to their recent public sighting, Sweeney and Davino had not been seen together since January. Sweeney has reportedly been residing at the Beverly Hills Hotel since mid-February.
Intrigue surrounding their relationship status intensified when Sweeney removed a photo of her kissing Davino from a New Year’s Instagram album. Her subsequent solo trip to Africa in early March further fueled rumors of a breakup.
Sources close to Sweeney suggest her career ambitions are a primary factor in the separation. An insider told People, “She’s exactly where she wants to be… She’s all about working right now and very excited about all her projects.”
The source added, “She’s not ready to settle down… They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now.”
Glen Powell Romance Rumors Re-Emerge
Adding another layer to the narrative, Sweeney recently reunited with Glen Powell in Dallas, Texas, at his sister’s wedding. This reunion has reignited romance rumors between the co-stars, which initially surfaced during the promotion of their romantic comedy, Anyone But You, in 2023.
During the film’s press tour, Sweeney and Powell’s on-screen chemistry and playful interactions led to speculation of an off-screen romance, further amplified by their deliberate ambiguity to promote the movie.
Public interest in a potential romance between Sweeney and Powell has persisted, and Sweeney’s apparent split from Davino has only intensified this speculation.
Powell Addresses “Timing” and Sister’s Wedding
Powell recently alluded to the swirling romance rumors in an interview, stating “Timing is everything.” However, both Powell and his mother have publicly denied any romantic involvement between him and Sweeney.
Addressing Sweeney’s presence at his sister’s wedding, Powell’s mother clarified, “They’re definitely not together. It was just, like, she was there [at the wedding] with her friend.” She emphasized Sweeney’s close friendship with the entire Powell family, particularly Glen’s sister Leslie.
Powell himself confirmed this, noting, “[Leslie] and Syd are obviously great friends and it was a hell of a wedding.”
Earlier Signs of Relationship Strain
Prior to the recent breakup reports, there were earlier indications of difficulties in Sweeney and Davino’s relationship. These included Sweeney staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel and the removal of photos featuring Davino from her social media, including a New Year’s kiss.
Her solo trip to Africa in early March further suggested a growing distance between the couple.
