Sydney Sweeney is putting the spotlight on her personal life, offering fans a refreshing glimpse away from the controversies surrounding her.
The Euphoria star, 27, took to Instagram on Sunday to post new photos of her German Shepherd, Scully. Once a tiny pup when she first introduced him in April, Scully now looks all grown up. In the snaps, he can be seen sitting outdoors with his tongue out and head tilted, winning hearts with his puppy-dog eyes.
Fans gush over rare glimpse into her private life
The actress, who has kept her personal life mostly private in recent months, delighted followers with the wholesome update. Fans flooded social media with comments celebrating Sweeney’s off-screen world.
Sweeney’s post comes just days after reports linked her romantically with music manager Scooter Braun, 44. According to The Star, Braun has been telling friends about the alleged relationship, though Sweeney has not commented on the claims.
The update also follows backlash from her latest American Eagle campaign. The ad, promoting the brand’s autumn collection, used the tagline: “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans” — a play on the phrase “great genes.”
The wordplay sparked online debate, with one viral clip even showing Sweeney standing in front of a poster where “genes” was crossed out and replaced with “jeans.”
Brand clarifies campaign’s intent
In response, American Eagle issued a statement clarifying the ad’s purpose:
“‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.”
