What's Sydney Sweeney been up to since her engagement to Jonathan Davino ended? The Immaculate actress-producer has found a newfound peace in her post-breakup life, and we've got the inside scoop on her recent activities and how she's embracing this fresh chapter.
How's Sydney Sweeney Been Since the Breakup with Jonathan Davino?
Sydney Sweeney, 27, has been engaged to her longtime partner, Jonathan Davino, 41, for three years before their abrupt split in March this year.
At the time, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the former couple had been dealing with "major issues", despite having their wedding planned for spring.
According to the source, "Sydney wanted to cancel everything and couldn't handle the stress", considering that they had been dealing with adjustments such as Sweeney's "packed production schedule" and that she "didn't feel right" about the relationship and her wedding."
While the Euphoria star has been keeping her unexpected split private, she recently opened up about how much she's enjoying the life of being a single woman.
"I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it," Sweeney told the Sunday Times.
The insider added that Sweeney, overall, is "not ready to settle down" and that her relationship with Davino "only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off."
Ultimately, Sweeney chose to pursue her "magical career" instead of staying in a relationship she wasn't perfectly content with.
In the course of her engagement, she reignited dating rumors with her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell and The Housemaid co-star Brandon Sklenar, leading fans to believe she may not have been exploring her options as openly before.
It's worth noting, though, that both rumors had been debunked: Sweeney is living the sweet single life as of writing.
Why Has Sydney Sweeney Become 'More Guarded' in Her Career?
Sydney Sweeney turned from actress to Fifty-Fifty Films producer in 2020, and while she's set to focus on building her career in the evolving industry, she admits she's had some setbacks in the previous years.
"[If] I want to be in the room and [be involved] in every single meeting and decision, I want to be taken seriously as a producer," the Madame Web actress told The Times newspaper, "I'm very direct, I'm very blunt. To be honest, actually, I always find that it's women who give me the hardest time..."
She detailed how everyone she's met after playing Cassie on Euphoria had given her the same skeptical treatment, "I see it all the time where they don't think I am right for [a role] because they watched Cassie. Especially because Cassie was such a sexualized character—that puts a wall up for people."
Sweeney said that she ends up having to defend herself all the time, "I feel like I'm constantly having to be like, no, no, I'm an actor, I'm supposed to be different characters."
In doing so, she reflected on the privacy as part of the price behind fame: "I've always been guarded. Definitely more so now. You let a few people in who you trust..."
"A lot is gone, like privacy. Which is huge. You don't realize how much that means until you lose it." She added that while most believe actors know what they signed up for, to Sweeney, "18-year-old me had no idea what she was signing up for."
