Music executive Scooter Braun is reportedly frustrated by what insiders describe as a steady stream of professional athletes attempting to contact his girlfriend, actress Sydney Sweeney, through direct messages on social media.
According to Page Six, Braun has expressed irritation over athletes “constantly” sliding into Sweeney’s DMs, viewing the behavior as disrespectful. Sources say the Euphoria star has ignored or blocked many of the messages.
Athletes have long been known for using social media as a way to pursue romantic interests, including celebrities and high-profile women. In recent years, several actresses, models and influencers have openly discussed receiving unsolicited messages from professional athletes, a practice often viewed as common — if unwelcome — in celebrity circles.
The situation has sparked discussion among Sweeney’s fans online, with some calling Braun’s reaction a potential red flag. Critics on social media argue that attention from admirers is an unavoidable reality for a high-profile actress and that frustration over it could point to insecurity. Others have defended Braun, saying concern over persistent advances is understandable in a committed relationship.
The reported tension comes amid broader claims of relationship strain. Insiders told Page Six that Braun and Sweeney have differing lifestyles, with Braun described as more traditional and relationship-focused, while Sweeney values independence and personal space.
Braun, 44, and Sweeney, 28, were first linked publicly last year after meeting at a wedding in Venice, Italy. Despite their age gap, the pair have been seen together at several public events and private outings.
Representatives for Braun and Sweeney have not commented on the reports.
