Scooter Braun is reportedly growing increasingly frustrated over professional athletes repeatedly sliding into Sydney Sweeney’s direct messages. Insiders claim that this situation has created fresh tension in their relationship.
Scooter Braun frustrated as Sydney Sweeney’s DM is filled with athletes
According to a report by The Sun, insiders close to the couple allege that Scooter Braun is agitated by athletes who are “constantly” sending direct messages to Sydney Sweeney. The sources emphasize that Braun finds the actions “incredibly disrespectful,” even though Sweeney allegedly ignores the messages and blocks the senders.
This issue appears to be part of broader growing pains within the relatively new relationship. Insiders noted several other points of contention. Last November, Braun reportedly felt “furious and disrespected” after Sweeney met with her ex-fiancé, Jonathan Davino, in Los Angeles. Davino and Sweeney ended their nearly seven-year relationship in March 2025.
Furthermore, the insiders describe a clash in personal styles. “Sydney has always been fiercely independent,” a source explained. “She values time alone — whether that’s travelling by herself, going out with girlfriends, or just switching off. Scooter prefers togetherness, and he’s still adjusting to that.”
Despite the current tensions, Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney’s relationship began with intense sparks. The rumors started after the couple met at the Bezos-Sanchez wedding in Venice in June 2025, shortly after Sweeney’s split from Davino. An industry source claimed the actress pursued Braun in Venice, although the latter was wary of their 16-year age gap. However, the two quickly connected.
By October, sources close to the pair insisted the romance was serious. “He really, really likes her,” one insider told Page Six, adding they’d “never” heard Braun sound so smitten. The couple has since been spotted on numerous public dates, from a Labor Day weekend in Lake Tahoe to a makeout session in New York City’s Central Park in November.
While the relationship appears affectionate in public, insiders suggest the behind-the-scenes dynamics, including outside attention and differing expectations, have proven more complicated.
