Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun's relationship has reached a new milestone, with the pair recently spotted on a smoothie date alongside his two children in Los Angeles, roughly a year after they first met. Experts consulted by Fox News Digital say this step is significant given the couple's high public profile, and have urged Sweeney and Braun to protect the children's privacy and prepare them for media attention as the relationship deepens.

Sweeney, 28, and Braun, 45, first sparked dating rumours in June 2025 at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Venice, with sources later describing the relationship as "serious" by December and Sweeney publicly confirming it in May. Braun, who shares three children with ex-wife Yael Cohen following their 2022 divorce, has been described by relationship expert Nicole Moore as likely viewing Sweeney as a long-term partner given he introduced her to his children. However, Moore cautioned that involving children could either strengthen the bond or strain it if all their time together becomes centred on parenting, while psychotherapist Robin Hamilton stressed the need to shield the children from public scrutiny and keep their lives separate from their parents' celebrity status.
