Scooter Braun is reportedly growing frustrated with the constant attention Sydney Sweeney receives online, particularly from professional athletes. According to sources cited by Page Six, Braun, 44, finds the frequent direct messages “incredibly disrespectful,” even though Sweeney, 28, reportedly ignores and blocks the messages as they appear.

The couple’s relationship has faced several challenges since it began, insiders reveal. One point of tension reportedly arose last November, when Sweeney met with her ex-fiancé Jonathan Davino in Los Angeles, leaving Braun feeling “furious and disrespected.” While Sweeney values her independence and personal time, Braun, who prefers more togetherness, has struggled to adjust. Sources describe the actress as “fiercely independent,” regularly taking time alone to travel, spend time with friends, or simply switch off from public life, a lifestyle Braun is reportedly still learning to accommodate.

Sweeney and Braun first met at the Bezos-Sanchez wedding in Venice in June 2025. Despite an initial hesitation over their 16-year age gap, sources say the pair quickly developed a connection. By October, insiders told Page Six that the relationship was genuine, with Braun reportedly expressing that he had “never” felt so strongly about someone. Since then, the couple has been spotted on several public outings, from Lake Tahoe over Labor Day weekend to a Halloween double date with Sweeney’s parents, and they were later photographed kissing in Central Park in November.
