Sydney Sweeney breaks silence on split from Jonathan Davino, says she's ‘loving' single life
Sydney Sweeney has spoken publicly for the first time about her breakup with fiancé Jonathan Davino, confirming in a new interview that she's now single.
In her interview with
The Times
, Sweeney confirmed she and Davino had ended their engagement three years after getting engaged.
When asked if she was planning a wedding, Sweeney replied, 'No.' When asked if she is single, she said, 'Yes.'
She added, 'I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it.'
Sweeney and Davino first sparked dating rumors back in 2018 and got engaged in February 2022.
A source previously told
People Magazine
that their relationship had been 'rocky for a long time' and that Sweeney has been focusing on her career since the split.
'She's exactly where she wants to be. Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She's all about working right now and very excited about all her projects,' the source said.
'What did make her overwhelmed, though, was her relationship and her wedding. She didn't feel right about it.'
Sweeney is currently busy with a new season of Euphoria, as well as several film projects, including an adaptation of The Housemaid and roles as Christy Martin and Kim Novak.
According to the source, Sweeney 'is in the middle of this magical career that she could only dream of a few years ago. This is what she wants to focus on right now.'
They added, 'She's not ready to settle down. They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didn't split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now.'
Despite the breakup, Sweeney and Davino, a Chicago businessman, have been seen together in public. A source told People, 'This wasn't just a relationship. This was two people living together and planning a future. They still have things to figure out.'
Throughout their relationship, Sweeney kept many details private. 'Everyone is always so curious about who I'm with and what's that like, but I think it's important to have something for me,' she told Glamour UK in December 2023. 'I'm very open (otherwise). I talk about so much and sometimes it gets me in trouble, but I do try to keep something for me.'
Since the split, Sweeney has been the subject of intense dating rumors, especially with her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell.
Their undeniable chemistry during the film's press tour led fans to speculate about a possible romance, though both have insisted they are just friends.
More recently, Sweeney was spotted getting close with The Housemaid co-star Brandon Sklenar at the 2025 Stagecoach Festival, fuelling further speculation about her love life.
Sweeney also explained her approach to dating in a 2022 Cosmopolitan cover story, saying, 'I don't date people in the spotlight. I don't date actors or musicians or anyone in entertainment because I can just be normal Syd that way and it's easiest. 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.' I look for a best friend. I need to be able to be with someone who I can literally hang out with 24/7 and never get sick of and we laugh every single day.'

Cynthia Nixon has an "intense" friendship with her 'And Just Like That...' co-stars. The 59-year-old actress has reprised her role as Miranda Hobbes in the 'Sex and the City' spin-off and explained that bond with co-stars Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker is all a result of how long they have all been working together. She told People: "I just think the longevity, I mean the intensity of it, but also the longevity of it, because there's something about knowing and loving a person, but then when you know them for so long, you know their children and their parents and their spouses and their friends. "When you understand somebody in their complete context, I feel like that's when you really know them." Meanwhile, actress - who starred on 'Sex and the City' throuhgout its original run from 1998 until 2004 and has appeared on the spin-off since its inception in 2021 - recently saw her alter-ego have a dalliance with a character played by Rosie O'Donnell, and explained that the writers had been trying to get the famed comedienne on board for years. "Michael Patrick King, who writes our show, and is one of the chief writers on our show, has been trying to write a part for Rosie every season and it's never quite worked out. She said: "So this time when he told me what the idea was, I thought, 'Oh this is fantastic, and he let me text her myself and describe it and say, you know, could we please send you this script?' With all our fingers and toes crossed.' "She is so funny and she is so funny in the part, but she's so centered and so real. "I think that we knew she would be hilarious, but I think we were unprepared for how moving she would be in the part, how incredibly sincere and how much she would wear her heart on her sleeve."

Nick Offerman reveals Parks and Recreation cast were 'texting all day' after Jonathan Joss' death
The 'Parks and Recreation' cast have been texting "all day" after Jonathan Joss' death. The actor - who had a recurring role as Chief Ken Hotate in the hit sitcom between 2011 and 2015 - died in a shooting in San Antonio on Saturday (31.05.25) aged 59, and his former castmates have been rocked by the devastating news. 'Parks and Recreation' star Nick Offerman told PEOPLE magazine in a statement: "The cast has been texting together about it all day and we're just heartbroken. 'Jonathan was such a sweet guy and we loved having him as our Chief Ken Hotate. A terrible tragedy.' As well as Offerman, the show starred big names like Amy Poehler, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Aubrey Plaza and Rashida Jones. Joss was also known for voicing the part of John Redcorn in animated series 'King of the Hill'. After his tragic death, police in San Antonio confirmed that the shooter, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, fled the scene in a vehicle, before being detained by officers and booked for murder. Tristan Kern de Gonzales - Joss' husband - explained on Facebook: "My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. "Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. "When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. "While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. "Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. "Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. "He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. "I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. (sic)"
