At the very moment her character on “Euphoria” is going through one of the series’ darkest and most controversial storylines, Sydney Sweeney appears more in love than ever in real life.
The 28-year-old actress shared a steamy, affection-filled Instagram Story featuring her and her 44-year-old boyfriend, Scooter Braun, during their vacation in Australia, and the footage was so over-the-top romantic it could make even the algorithm blush.
The short clip opens with a sunset stroll on the beach, as Braun showers Sweeney with kisses while she smiles nonstop.
The two are later seen cuddling at a lavish villa, kissing in front of the camera and then moving into a couples dance that quickly becomes far more intimate, with Braun dipping Sweeney backward as she bursts into laughter.
Naturally, the “madly in love and insanely rich” portion followed: a helicopter ride over the water, a hazy selfie against a tropical blue backdrop and a shared dive through coral reefs after changing into wetsuits.
The couple’s vacation comes as Sweeney herself is at the center of a separate storm surrounding the new storyline for her “Euphoria” character, Cassie.
Online, many viewers have criticized series creator Sam Levinson over the extreme direction taken with the character, including a storyline involving fetish-oriented content that Cassie allegedly uploads to OnlyFans.
At least off-screen, though, Sweeney seems determined to leave the drama behind and enjoy life with Braun, no matter what anyone else thinks.
