Sydney Sweeney and fiancé Jonathan Davino‘s romance is one for the books.
Though the pair – who were first romantically linked in 2018 – have kept their relationship mostly out of the spotlight, Sweeney has given fans a glimpse of their romance through rare outings, interviews and more over the years.
“I don’t date actors or musicians or anyone in entertainment because I can just be normal Syd that way and it’s easiest,” she told Cosmopolitan in February 2022. “I have a great support system. I have people who will battle for me and allow me to be on the pedestal and shine without making me feel like, ‘Oh no, I’m shining too bright and I need to step back.’”
In an interview with Glamour UK in December 2023, the Euphoria actress also opened up about dating out of the spotlight, sharing that she cherishes her and her businessman beau’s “steady” relationship amid being a part of an industry that can be chaotic more times than not.
“I’ve been in a steady relationship for a really long time, which is not normal in this industry and not normal for my age,” she told the outlet. “What I’ve noticed about the idea of celebrity is people really love to build someone up, and then tear them down.”
