Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun were photographed sharing a kiss and displaying affection during a gondola ride through the canals of Venice, as the couple's relationship continues to develop in public view. The pair are in the Italian city for the 2026 Venice Film Festival, where Sweeney is attending as a brand ambassador for Armani Beauty, the event's official beauty sponsor.

The couple were seen sitting closely together on the gondola, with Sweeney holding Braun's arm as he rested a hand on her knee, and were also photographed walking hand in hand around the city. Their relationship first drew attention in June 2025 at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding, also in Venice, before becoming Instagram official in April 2026 following the "Euphoria" season three premiere. Sweeney, who ended her engagement to producer Jonathan Davino in early 2025 after a relationship dating back to 2018, has been described by a celebrity matchmaker as benefiting from Braun's stabilising presence amid her rising career.
