An exclusive revelation from a trusted source to Us Weekly sheds light on the recent tumultuous waters navigated by Sydney Sweeney and her fiancé, Jonathan Davino. "Sydney and Jonathan are grappling with significant relationship challenges, yet they haven't completely parted ways," the insider confided to Us. "The current climate is far from rosy, but they haven't thrown in the proverbial towel just yet. Efforts to mend their bond persist, albeit their wedding plans have been temporarily shelved."
The 27-year-old actress and her 41-year-old partner, who first sparked romance rumors in 2018 and got engaged four years hence, have seen all wedding preparations come to an abrupt halt, according to the source. "Their spring wedding was on the horizon, but it's off the table now, with no further conversations about it," the insider disclosed. "Sydney, overwhelmed by stress, opted to scrap everything."
At the heart of Sweeney and Davino's strife lies the actress's jam-packed professional schedule, the source elaborated. "The bulk of their issues stems from Sydney's relentless work commitments," they said. "Her demanding career leaves little downtime, creating strain in their relationship. Sydney is laser-focused on her profession, while Jonathan yearns for more quality time together."
Furthermore, Sweeney's dedication to her latest cinematic and television endeavors has allegedly strained her bond with Davino. "Tensions flair up whenever she's promoting a film, as she must dedicate her undivided attention to the project," the insider alleged. "Speculations about their relationship and Sydney's closeness to her co-stars only exacerbate matters, making for a trying dynamic for Jonathan."
Take, for instance, Sweeney's role in the 2023 film 'Anyone But You' alongside Glen Powell. Behind-the-scenes snapshots fueled affair rumors, which both vehemently denied. (At the time, Powell, 36, was in a relationship with model Gigi Paris.) "I lack the mental bandwidth for such shenanigans, but Sydney is incredibly astute," Powell told Business Insider in December 2023. "And, admittedly, Sydney and I share authentic chemistry. … It was easier for Sydney to embrace those rumors because she's in a deeply committed and blissful relationship."
Sweeney and Davino coproduced 'Anyone But You' together, with Sweeney lauding their collaborative synergy in an interview with Glamour UK. "It's incredibly fulfilling to work alongside someone who knows you intimately, who stands by your ideas, vision, and voice unwaveringly," she enthused. "It's wonderful. Who wouldn't cherish being with their best friend constantly? I wanted to envelop everyone in my world."
During the same conversation, Sweeney hailed their relationship as a "steadfast" one. "I've been in a stable relationship for a considerable stretch, which is uncommon in this industry and for someone my age," the 'Euphoria' star reflected. "Celebrity culture thrives on building someone up only to tear them down. It's something I've noticed."
