Scooter Braun ‘Staged’ Sydney Sweeney PDA Pics, Shoot Has ‘His Fingerprints All Over It’ (Exclusive)

After Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun were photographed earlier this week packing on the PDA in New York City, a source exclusively tells the National Enquirer that the photoshoot was orchestrated.

“Everyone is saying the same thing, it’s staged and has his fingerprints all over it!” the source says of the photoset, which includes one picture of the actress and the businessman kissing while sitting next to each other on a rock in Central Park.

The record executive, 44, appears to be helping the Euphoria actress, 28, off of the rock in another photo, and in a separate shot, the two are seen walking hand in hand.

The timing seems suspicious, given that Sweeney told GQ in an interview published November 4 that she is single. She was also recently caught meeting up with ex Jonathan Davino after the pair called off their engagement earlier this year.

“After Sydney was pictured with her ex-fiancé and an interview was published where she said she’s single, it’s inevitable Scooter would want to pull a stunt like this,” says Enquirer’s source.

After all, the source points out, “Scooter couldn’t keep his mouth shut when he started seeing Sydney. It was like he wanted the whole world to know.”

Star broke the news in August that Braun and Sweeney were seeing each other after they were spotted together in Italy following Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s June wedding, which they both attended.

Last month, a source told Enquirer that Sweeney has been “completely lovestruck” by the romance.

However, she clearly downplayed things when speaking to GQ for her wide-ranging cover story for the magazine’s 2025 Men of the Year issue.

“I don’t think I’m looking for a man right now,” she said when asked if she is single. “What I’ve learned this year is that I have a really, really amazing group of girlfriends and I am strong and independent and that I’m going to be okay.”

“If love finds me, love finds me,” she continued. “I’m a hopeless romantic, so I hope love finds me, but I’m not the type of person that wants to go out all the time. And I do believe in true love and wanting to be with someone for the rest of my life. So I’m not going to…you won’t see me jumping around a lot of places.”
