Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino got together when she was about 20 years old and he was in his 30s. They got engaged at some point, and Sydney has said, in interviews, that she really wants to get married and have babies. Of course, she also has more professional hustle than most of her generational peers. So people have always felt like Sydney should dump Davino and spend her 20s on herself and her career. Well… it might be happening? Earlier this week, there were rumors going around about Sydney moving out of the home she shared with Davino (a home she bought!!) and living in a hotel. She also deleted at least one photo of Davino from her IG (but Davino barely appears on her IG anyway). In any case, sources now say that Sydney has called off the wedding (but not the engagement?) and that Davino has been stressing her out.
Sydney Sweeney and her fiancé Jonathan Davino have called off their wedding as the couple faces “major issues” in their relationship, a source told Us Weekly.
“Sydney and Jonathan have been having major issues but are not fully split,” the insider said on Wednesday. “Things are not great right now, but they aren’t throwing in the towel yet. They are working on their relationship but have called off the wedding for now.”
The source went on to share that all wedding plans have since come “to a halt” and they “aren’t having further discussions about it.” Sweeney and Davino, who began dating in 2018, were “supposed to get married this spring.”
“Sydney wanted to cancel everything and couldn’t handle the stress,” the insider shared.
Sweeney’s “extremely busy” career allegedly “caused tension” in their romance.“Sydney is really focused on her career. Jonathan wishes they were able to spend more quality time together,” the source continued. “Things are also always tense between them when she is promoting a movie because she has to give her full attention to the project, and people always speculate about their relationship and Sydney being close to her costars,” the insider went on. They also noted that “it’s a tough dynamic for Jonathan.”
I noted in an earlier post that this gossip does not seem to be associated with any current project for Sydney. As in, she’s not promoting anything right now, she’s just working on back-to-back projects. Which gives these reports some legitimacy. I think she genuinely might be phasing out Davino. Interesting. Also: I looked through recent photos of Sydney, and Davino hasn’t been around for a few months. She went to the Vanity Fair Oscar party solo and networked like a champ. She went to Paris Fashion Week solo to rep Miu Miu. The last time it looks like Sydney and Jonathan were out together was January. Hm.

Sydney, take your time. The last thing you want to be is trapped with a baby or two with this man when neither of you are fully in. Trust your instinct babe. Your career is going gangbusters in your 20s. Do your hustle now and save and invest as much as you can. Your career in Hollywood is only going to last for a short time until the next new thing comes in (as you were) and you are pushed to do wife and mother roles – if you are offered them.
So much this. Her career is hot right now, but taking off time this early to have babies could be disastrous for her. New ingenues will take her place and she’ll have to rebrand as a lifestyle guru. Give it five years. You’ll still be very young.
@Blogger: I agree completely. Also want to say, I’ve never laid eyes on him before, but the way he’s clamp/holding her in that first pic of them… eeesh. 😬 Edit: Well, maybe I’m just viewing that image through the lens of the article; it could just be a supportive hold. But Idk. I want her to be free. Like, mentally free, free to decide what’s right for her, free to say yes to things. Which I’m sure she is, but y’all know what I mean.
Not a huge Sweeney fan, but he seems really off. Hope he leaves her alone if she wants out.
Women in the U.S should think long and hard before getting legally married to a man in the current situation we are in. Even if you are well-off and high profile.
SID, I wish we could blast your comment on billboards all across America and especially in Times Square.
I’m married (and over 50) but I’ve always kept my own name. A good friend who changed her name pointed out to me recently that she’ll be impacted by rules requiring legal IDs to match a birth certificate. Which is how I realized these political attacks on transgendered people have always intended to catch women in the net too. (Margaret Atwood never intended to write an instruction manual but here we are.)
Unmarried women won’t fare any better in Trump’s marriage fundamentalist Fed government, sadly. Their entire economic mobility plan is based on promoting marriage and family as a means to escape poverty while blatantly punishing folks who choose to remain single.
Isn’t he some kind of pizza heir?? Girl, get your house that you bought with your dollars back, right now. Let his 40 something ass figure out his own housing.
Also, whoever is giving this quote makes him sound terrible. Her focusing on her projects and doing part of her job is framed as what causes problems for him. That’s not a supportive partner.
And if she’s having trouble disentangling, I’m not surprised, because that’s the whole point of grooming someone too young for you. See also Meghan Fox and BAG.
This guy lived his 20’s, now he expects her not to do the same. Of course, he wants to get married now in his 40’s, so he wouldn’t be so old as a father if they want to have children. That is why you, as a grown ass man, don’t choose a young adult as your life partner and expect them to live in your timeline.
Story as old as time. I had a young coworker, mid 20s, whose husband was 8 years older. Not even a huge age difference all things considered, but he was constantly pressuring her to get pregnant while she was working and pursuing a graduate degree with clear ambitions. She eventually did it all (no weekends, no sleep), but like he got to do those things on his own timeline and she didn’t. And those are just every day people.
Maybe it’s unfair but I’ve always gotten controlling and jealous vibes from him. I agree with the first commenters that she should trust her gut in this situation.
People in their mid to late 30s have no business getting involved with people in their 20s.
“In their 20s” can be fine – 35 and 27 sets off no warning bells for me. Straight up 20 years old is a whole other ballgame.
I’m barely aware this couple exists and even I can tell this relationship is dead in the water.
That pic where he’s holding her arm feels like a hostage situation.
I’ll bet he winds up with another 20 year old not long after they’re really split up.
