SITTING in her ex-fiance’s car, Sydney Sweeney looked a far cry from her usual glamourous self as she screamed during a very heated row.
And now we can reveal that the secret meeting with Jonathan Davino sparked a huge row with her new boyfriend Scooter Braun, who was left feeling “furious” and “disrespected” – and the fallout could have grave consequences.
The 28-year-old Hollywood star had been enjoying dinner with friends and her ex in Santa Monica over the weekend when things appeared to turn sour.
She was later seen in Jonathan’s car and, according to reports from TMZ, she could be heard screaming and telling him: “I don’t believe you. Please leave, leave me alone.”
The unlikely scene raised eyebrows, even more so when just days later Sydney headed out for dinner again – this time with Scooter, putting on a united front after the pair held crisis talks.
“He’s made it clear that he wants her 100%, that she needs to compromise on some things, and that seeing her ex like that crossed a line.”
Scooter Braun insider
An insider close to the couple told us how Scooter, 44, made it clear to the actress that she had ‘crossed a line’.
They explained: “Scooter got really mad. He doesn’t like that kind of behaviour at all, especially knowing the history between her and Jonathan.
“He knows they had a serious relationship, were together for a long time, and even got engaged. So, seeing her with him again — and getting caught on camera getting into his car — really set him off.”
Scooter’s upset is said to stem from just how much he loves the Euphoria star, who we previously revealed he is planning to move in with.
The insider continued: “He’s not controlling, but he wants her to know that he truly cares about her and that his feelings are real.
“He’s deeply in love and serious about building a future together. Scooter’s a man with strong values and morals — and for him, it’s not acceptable for his partner to be seen with other men, especially exes.
“He thought what she did with Jonathan was disrespectful and not cool, and he didn’t want to stay silent about it.
“He was hurt and wanted her to know. What he wants is full transparency between them — and for her to be the same way, but also to act like someone who’s in a committed relationship, not single anymore.
“He’s made it clear that he wants her 100%, that she needs to compromise on some things, and that seeing her ex like that crossed a line.”
Scooter is said to be aware that, given their age difference, he could be considered “old fashioned”.
Our insider says he “does a lot” for the star, stating he’s “present, supportive, and fully committed”.
‘Public humiliation’
Sydney was due to marry businessman Jonathan, 41, earlier this year but called off their engagement after mounting speculation over the state of their relationship.
The pair met in 2018 and got engaged in February 2022.
At the time, the actress spoke at length about their wedding and future before things came to an end.
Our insider added: “It has to be a blow for Jonathan that she has moved on so publicly and seems really ready to settle down this time.
“He feels like he was a huge part of her career to start with, really building up her confidence but now she’s flying without him. It’s painful to see.”
At the time it was reported that they split so she could concentrate on her career.
“He thought what she did with Jonathan was disrespectful and not cool, and he didn’t want to stay silent about it.
Scooter Braun insider
She certainly did that – she’s currently promoting Christy – her new biopic about the female boxing trailblazer Christy Martin – and there’s already been some Oscar buzz round her role.
It hasn’t just been work and no play though… over the summer she was first linked to Scooter – the billionaire businessman and record executive who became public enemy number one for Swifties worldwide in 2019 after he bought pop megastar Taylor Swift’s master recordings.
They started dating back in August after being seen spending time together at Jeff Bezos’s wedding in Italy two months before.
In August they were seen together in public for the first time on a date after having dinner at Jon & Vinny’s restaurant in Los Angeles.
The romance has proved to be more than just a summer fling, and Scooter seems to have well and truly fallen for her charms, even after the public humiliation of her arguing with her ex.
Get the look: Expert tips to swoon like Sweeney
Looking to create that doe-eyed look at home? Here, pro make-up artist Sarah-Jane Froom shares her exclusive top tips on how to achieve Sydney’s signature eyes…
TOP TIPS
- Start with a good primer: This ensures the eye shadow stays in place all day and gives a smooth base for blending.
- Define the crease: Use warm, neutral shades such as soft browns or terracotta to add depth to the crease. This helps enhance the natural shape of the eye without it feeling too heavy.
- Smoky eyes: Sydney often favours a smoky eye, typically with dark eyeliner along the lash line. I recommend blending a dark brown or black shadow into the liner to soften it and create that sultry, lived-in look.
- Lashes are essential: To get Sydney’s eye-popping lashes, I always recommend a volumising mascara. For a more dramatic effect, you can add some natural-looking false lashes that provide length and lift, but without being too over-the-top.
- Highlight the inner corners: This little trick instantly brightens the eyes, making them look more awake and larger – perfect for achieving Sydney’s signature bright-eyed gaze.
