Actress Sydney Sweeney and music executive Scooter Braun confirmed their relationship publicly at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, on Saturday, 25 April 2026, with footage showing Braun lifting Sweeney onto his shoulders during a set by country artist Ella Langley.
The pair were also photographed with actors Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher and were seen together with DJ Diplo during the event, as reported by TMZ.
The couple had been spotted together on several occasions since mid-2025 but had not publicly confirmed their relationship before Saturday’s appearance.
Multiple entertainment outlets reported that the pair have also made the relationship official on Instagram, effectively a “hard launch” in celebrity media terms.
How the relationship began
Sweeney and Braun were first romantically linked in June 2025, shortly after Sweeney’s split from former fiancé Jonathan Davino, with whom she had been in a relationship for several years.
Braun, 44, is a prominent music industry executive whose past clients include Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and Justin Timberlake. He was previously married to talent manager Yael Cohen, with whom he has three children, before the couple divorced.
Reports indicate that Braun has expressed intentions of marriage to associates, as reported by TMZ. He is widely cited as one of the most influential figures in the music industry, though his public profile has not been without controversy, most notably a prolonged dispute with Taylor Swift over the ownership of her original master recordings.
What Stagecoach looked like for the new couple
The Stagecoach Festival, held annually in the Coachella Valley in California, is one of the largest country music events in the world.
The 2026 edition drew a significant celebrity contingent, with Sweeney and Braun among the most photographed couples across the weekend. Saturday’s footage of Braun lifting Sweeney during the Ella Langley performance circulated widely on social media within hours of the event.
Sweeney, 29, currently stars in HBO’s Euphoria, where her character Cassie is heading toward a wedding sequence in the show’s current run. The timing of the public confirmation of her real-life relationship has not gone unnoticed by entertainment commentators.
She also has several film projects in development, with further announcements expected later in 2026.
No statement has been issued by either party’s representatives regarding the nature or seriousness of the relationship at the time of publishing.
The social media confirmation, combined with the public appearance at Stagecoach, represents the most direct acknowledgement either has offered since they were first linked.
