Sydney Sweeney is currently living out her own romantic-comedy plotline. Sydney had been engaged for years to Jonathan Davino. Their age-gap relationship was painful for Sydney’s fans and they’ve always wanted her to dump him. Well, in the past week, there have been so many rumors that Sydney is over Davino, that she’s living in a hotel and that she called off their planned summer wedding because Davino was stressing her out. Then this past weekend, she was in Texas… attending the wedding of Glen Powell’s sister. Glen and Sydney starred in Anyone But You and they became quite close back in 2023. Rumors were flying around back then and both Sydney and Glen used those rumors to sell the movie. Now it’s looking like Sydney showed up to Glen’s sister’s wedding single as hell and ready to mingle, Texas-style?
Sydney Sweeney and fiancé Jonathan Davino’s breakup was a long time coming. Whether the two were still engaged came into question in recent weeks amid reports Sweeney was living separately from Davino, a businessman who has been linked to the actress since 2018. An insider then shared that their relationship has been “rocky for a long time.”
A source now tells PEOPLE on Monday, March 31 that Sweeney, 27, has been focusing on work amid the end of her engagement.
“She’s exactly where she wants to be. Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She’s all about working right now and very excited about all her projects,” the source says of Sweeney.
Not only does the Emmy-nominated star have a new season of Euphoria in the works, but she’ll lead a movie adaptation of The Housemaid bestseller plus portray real-life boxer Christy Martin and screen star Kim Novak in upcoming projects.
The source says, “What did make her overwhelmed though was her relationship and her wedding. She didn’t feel right about it.” Sweeney is “in the middle of this magical career that she could only dream of a few years ago,” therefore, “This is what she wants to focus on right now.”
“She’s not ready to settle down,” the source says. “They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didn’t split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now.”
Reps for Sweeney and Davino did not respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
“They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off.” Ouch!! I think it’s true though – Davino grabbed her when she was truly up-and-coming and before she really became a household name. This was probably her first real-deal adult relationship and you know how difficult it can be to break off those kinds of situations, especially because they were together for so many years and complacency sets in, etc. Anyway, I hope Glen paid a lot of attention to her at his sister’s wedding!

Part of growing up though it’s painful at first, time will heal all wounds.
Wonder who Davino who will hook up with (and her age?) while Glen isn’t a bad option to rebound. I’m sure he judged her during filming – you hooked up with what? A baby snatcher?
But hope she travels the world with her work and enjoy life to the fullest instead of prematurely being tied down.
“But hope she travels the world with her work and enjoy life to the fullest instead of prematurely being tied down.”
Yeah, I’m hoping she takes some time to find her own footing, single, as an adult. She’s spent her adult life so far partnered. If it were me, it would take a while to sort my own self out – separating which parts of my personality, routine, likes and dislikes are my preferences, and which I adopted because of him:
“Am I really a morning person? Do I actually love hustling in the gym? Why am I eating wheat toast, it’s like cardboard sandpaper.
Oh, wait, actually I love sleeping in, taking hikes and having overnight oats or omelets for breakfast”
Good for her, I know the feeling. I felt immediate relief after I finally pulled the plug. She must feel light as a feather now. With that said, both she and Glen are so bland to me.
glad it’s not just me — they both have all of the ingredients of hot and it comes out as a vanilla candle. Having said that – they do ‘go’ together looks wise and are more adorable as a set.
I wonder what Brisket thinks.
I loved him in Twisters.
My pretend version of Glen’s love life has him falling for Matt Bomer. We are ignoring that Matt Bomer is married with kids and Glen Powell’s sexuality is not up for debate. I just think Matt and Glen would look STUNNING together.
PSA: I am not outing Glen Powell or accusing Matt Bomer of being a lying cheater, this is purely of my own imagination. The two of them are just so beautiful, and their jawlines? They are also close enough in height to be highly photogenic together, IMO *fans self*
I think I read that Glen’s sister worked on their movie, so that’s why Sydney was at her wedding (not as a guest of Glen).
They didn’t even sit close to each other. People just want to watch pretty people date 😂😂
This is so true. Fucking Ben Affleck ruined a good gossip run, and the void needs to be filled by pretty people dating.
They dated so long, but she is still younger than her ex when they met 😭😭 Good for her. She looks very business-savvy with all her moves so far. There is no guarantee it will last. She should make her wealth now. Considering how much the job requires travelling, living in different countries / states, she is gonna slow down eventually if she wants to start a family. It seemed so early for her though with this relationship.
It sounds like she outgrew him. SS (from a religious family) convinced her parents to move to CA so she could pursue acting. She’s not from a hugely wealthy family and has had to hustle, plus she’s broadened into producing. They got together when she was only 20, and now, even though this is being described as a, “She didn’t want to hurt him,” breakup, the relationship and wedding were stressing her out. Not her super busy schedule, Davino. My gut thinks he had difficulty with her success, and that her religious upbringing made it difficult for her to let go sooner. It’s so much better to stop a wedding than to go through a divorce.
Agreed though I don’t understand why he’s still living in her home. I guess that’s her concession to him over their break up?
I bet she’ll have to pay him off as they were together for years and he was a ´producer’ in some of her projects. Thankfully they never got married
Hopefully she was shrewd enough to have some professional protections. He probably got a salary as a producer so would’ve been compensated already. But I could see a confidentiality agreement.
