Sydney Sweeney has compared love to "a Disney movie"
The 28-year-old actress - who has been rumoured to be in a relationship with music manager Scooter Braun - has played down speculation about her relationships, but opened up about what romantic love feels like for her.
2 February 2026
She told Cosmopolitan magazine: "Like freedom. You know in The Princess Diaries when Anne Hathaway says that when she kisses the guy she knows she's supposed to be with, her foot will flip up?
"That's what love feels like. The lights will magically turn on. The birds will start flying. The fountains start shooting water. "Love is a Disney movie."
The Euphoria star admitted she finds it "really funny" to read various rumours about her love life.
She quipped: "I wake up and I find out I'm dating a different guy anytime I stand in a room where there's a single man."
She previously got engaged to Jonathan Davino in 2022 before they split in 2025 after seven and a half years together, and she made sure to "never talk about it" to keep their relationship under wraps.
She explained: "I understand that I'm a public person, but I'm still in my 20s. I'm still figuring out love, and it's hard to do that with millions of people who have their own opinions of what that looks like.
"At the same time, for all of my 20s, I put my head down and focused on work - and now I want to experience things. But it's hard deciding that I want to experience love in the public eye. I'm just navigating it all."
Sydney had "never dated before", and she insisted being famous causes its own issues with finding a partner following her breakup
She added: "I've never dated before. I've never even used a dating app. My friends who aren't in the industry are like, 'We'll just go out and meet someone.'
"But I can't just meet someone at a bar. It doesn't work like that."
