The former music manager is speaking publicly for the first time about his relationship with the Euphoria star.
Scooter Braun rarely talks about his personal life. But in a new podcast interview, he changed that. The 44-year-old retired music executive shared honest thoughts about dating Sydney Sweeney, 28. He also gave fans a look at where he stands today following his divorce from Yael Cohen.
When Did Scooter Braun and Yael Cohen Split
Scooter Braun and Yael Cohen ended their marriage in July 2021. Braun filed for divorce in Los Angeles on July 21, 2021. The couple had just celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary. Their divorce became final in September 2022.
The pair got married on July 6, 2014, in Whistler, British Columbia. They share three children together. Their son Jagger Joseph is 9 years old. Their second son Levi Magnus is 7. Their daughter Hart Violet Braun is 5.
Braun and Cohen cited “irreconcilable differences” in their divorce filing. The settlement included a $20 million payout to Cohen. Braun kept major assets including a multi-million dollar home and private jet.
Scooter Braun Calls Sydney Sweeney Romance a Big Surprise
Braun appeared on the Second Thought podcast with Suzy Weiss on May 28, 2026. He did not hold back when talking about Sweeney.
“I’ve met an extraordinary woman, kind and generous and smart, and real and down to earth,” Braun shared. “It is one of the biggest surprises ever.”
The couple first sparked dating rumors in June 2025. They were seen together at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice, Italy. At first, insiders said the pair were “casually” seeing each other. But things quickly became serious.
By December 2025, sources told People magazine that the couple was in a committed relationship. “Scooter and Sydney are going strong and things between them are great,” a source said.
Braun Watches Euphoria for Sydney Sweeney
The podcast host asked Braun if he watches Euphoria. The HBO series stars Sweeney as Cassie Howard. Braun admitted he is catching up on the show.
“I am catching it. I’m biased, I like it. I think there’s been an incredible performance by a certain actress,” he joked.
Euphoria season three recently aired. Sweeney’s performance received strong reviews. Braun clearly supports his girlfriend’s work.
When asked how they met, Braun declined to answer. “Not gonna go into that, that’s personal,” he said.
Social Media Goes Public With Cowboy Romance
The couple made their relationship Instagram official in April 2026. Braun posted a black-and-white photo of them together. He wrote a simple caption.
“Lucky bastard,” Braun wrote.
Sweeney followed up with her own post. She shared photos from the Stagecoach music festival in California. The carousel included sweet moments. One photo showed Braun holding Sweeney in his arms. Another showed them making silly faces in a photo booth. There were also pictures of Braun lifting Sweeney up during performances.
“cowboy kind of weekend,” she captioned the post.
Fans quickly noticed how happy the couple appeared. The hard launch marked a new chapter for Sweeney, who broke up with her ex-fiancé Jonathan Davino in 2025 after seven years together.
Braun Unfazed by Age Gap Criticism
The couple has a 16-year age difference. Sweeney is 28. Braun is 44. When news of their relationship went viral, some people criticized the age gap.
But Braun does not care about the negative comments.
A source told People in January 2026 that Braun finds the situation funny. “He finds the headlines comical. He seems to be unfazed, as he finds them all very funny,” the insider said.
The source added that the couple is very confident. “Sydney and Scooter are totally confident and comfortable in their relationship, and there are no trust issues going on. Things between them are stronger than ever, and they’re in a great place.”
What Braun Says About His Life Right Now
During the podcast, Braun also talked about where he sees himself today. He retired from music management in 2024. He used to manage huge stars like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Demi Lovato.
Today, Braun focuses on different things.
“I think I’m a little restless. I’ve been having a really good time, building the family office, helping people, meeting great entrepreneurs and making great investments, enjoying my relationship, enjoying my children, enjoying my friends, enjoying my life,” Braun shared.
When asked what comes next for him, Braun kept it simple. “For me, I’m enjoying my relationship, I’m enjoying my children, I’m enjoying my friends. I’m enjoying my life.”
