Are Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi More Than Costars? What the Facts Say
Onscreen spouses, offscreen just colleagues: Sydney Sweeney shuts down dating rumors with Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi as Cassie and Nate are set to wed in Season 3, while she praises his acting in a recent Deadline interview.
Quick gut check on Euphoria land: on the show, Cassie and Nate are somehow making it official. Off the show, no, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi are not dating. Here is where the lines blur and where they absolutely don’t.
On screen: Cassie and Nate tie the knot (and it’s not pretty)
Season 3 jumps forward to Cassie and Nate living as a married couple in the suburbs. That’s straight from co-creator Sam Levinson. The vibe? Not exactly happily ever after. Cassie is glued to social media and stewing over how great her old classmates’ lives look compared to hers. Feels painfully on brand for this show.
Sweeney sounds genuinely happy to share more scenes with Elordi this season, and she went out of her way to hype him up in a recent interview:
He’s amazing. He’s so talented and everything that he’s doing is just phenomenal, so I love being able to share a lot of scenes with him this year.
Off screen: Sweeney’s actual dating life (and it’s not Jacob Elordi)
Despite the fan-fiction energy, Sweeney is not with Elordi in real life. She’s reportedly dating music producer Scooter Braun. The two were first linked three months ago, and a source told PEOPLE their connection has only gotten stronger since then. The phrasing was not subtle: they’re in a committed relationship and things are serious. They’ve been spotted together multiple times lately, and apparently they have a lot in common and don’t care what anyone thinks about it.
How’d they meet? Reportedly at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Italy back in June. They spent time together there, and the story goes that while other people were shooting their shot with Sweeney, Braun didn’t — which made an impression. For context, she’s 28 and he’s 44.
Before that, Sweeney was linked to her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell after she ended her engagement to businessman Jonathan Davino in March of this year.
Meanwhile, the Elordi rumor mill tried a new angle
Elordi hopped on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast and casually mentioned his phone wallpaper is a shot of him with his Priscilla co-star Cailee Spaeny. He also told host Josh Horowitz that he loves her — cue the dating rumors.
Spaeny addressed it on Today and shut it down. The photo, she said, is from a karaoke night in London when they were celebrating him. According to Spaeny, he had just picked up two Golden Globe nominations — one for 'Frankenstein' and one for his series 'Narrow Road to the Deep North' — and they did what any sane person does in that situation: karaoke, possibly Shakira.
We were just celebrating his incredible performance in Frankenstein. This is us probably singing Shakira or something, as you do.
She also joked her own phone wallpaper is not romantic at all — it’s a rosebush — and as far as we know, Elordi is single.
