Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun Share Playful Karaoke Date Amid Blossoming Romance

February 18, 2026Hollywood's latest power couple continues to make headlines with their fun-loving chemistry. Actress Sydney Sweeney and music executive Scooter Braun were recently spotted enjoying a lively karaoke night in Ventura, California, where they belted out classics and delighted onlookers with their duet.According to exclusive footage obtained by TMZ and widely reported by outlets like Page Six, the pair took to the stage together to perform Neil Diamond's iconic "Sweet Caroline." The 28-year-old Euphoria star and the 44-year-old founder of Hybe America (formerly SB Projects) each grabbed a microphone, enthusiastically singing the chorus and encouraging crowd participation. The performance reportedly "brought the house down," with both appearing relaxed, affectionate, and clearly in sync.Sweeney didn't stop there—she followed up the duet with a solo rendition of ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)," showcasing her vocal chops and playful energy. Sources close to the couple describe the outing as a natural extension of their growing bond, with the night highlighting their shared sense of fun and comfort in public. The karaoke date comes just days after other cozy sightings, including a group lunch at Cold Spring Tavern in Santa Barbara where eyewitnesses noted Sweeney sitting on Braun's lap and the pair displaying public affection. Braun reportedly picked up the tab for the entire group, adding to the couple's reputation for generous, low-key outings.Their romance first sparked in June 2025 when both attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s high-profile wedding in Venice, Italy. Initial reports described their connection as casual, with sources noting Sweeney was enjoying dating after her March 2025 split from longtime fiancé Jonathan Davino. By September 2025, multiple outlets confirmed they were dating, and sightings escalated through the fall and into 2026—including hand-holding strolls in Brentwood, a New Year's trip to Europe, and family involvement, such as Sweeney's mother using Braun's private jet.Despite the 16-year age gap drawing some online commentary, insiders say the relationship has grown "more serious" over time. Braun appears unfazed by public scrutiny, while Sweeney has emphasized her independence in recent interviews, telling Cosmopolitan she doesn't "actually need a man" but values a partner who can be a best friend and collaborator.
