Sydney Sweeney cozies up to Blake Lively's co-star at Stagecoach
Sydney Sweeney and Brandon Sklenar were spotted together at Stagecoach over the weekend, sparking romantic speculation between the two.
Sweeney and Sklenar, who starred in Blake Lively's "It Ends With Us," recently finished filming "The Housemaid" together. The film adaption of the Freida McFadden book will also feature Amanda Seyfried and Michele Morrone.
A TikTok user posted a clip of Sweeney, 27, in the crowd at Stagecoach. The clip focused on the actress, who could be seen through a group of people. "My mom and I trying to nonchalantly get video of Sydney Sweeney," text on the video read.
Sklenar, 34, was briefly visible standing close behind Sweeney.
Many people in the comments immediately questioned the status between the two actors.
"glen and now Brandon?!? oh to be HER," one user commented.
"Did you just confirm her and Brandon are together?!?!" another added.
"Confirming I saw her and Brandon together twice," a TikTok user noted.
"Babes why is she with Brandon Sklenar????? I thought he had a gf?" someone acknowledged.
Representatives for both Sweeney and Sklenar did not respond to Fox News Digital's immediate request for comment.
While the comments erupted with speculation of a romantic connection between Sweeney and Sklenar, the actor has recently been linked to Courtney Salviolo. The "1923" star and the personal trainer met on a dating app amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to People magazine.
Salviolo accompanied Sklenar to the "It Ends With Us" premiere in August, where the two posed alongside Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.
For Sweeney, the actress ended her engagement to film producer Jonathan Davino in March.
Sweeney's relationship with Davino had been "rocky for a long time," People magazine reported. The "Euphoria" star is now focused on work.
"She's exactly where she wants to be," a source told the outlet. "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. What did make her overwhelmed though was her relationship and her wedding. She didn't feel right about it."
Sweeney is preparing for a new season of "Euphoria," the HBO show that launched her to a new level of fame, and for the role in the highly anticipated adaptation of "The Housemaid." She will also portray professional boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming, untitled biopic, and actress Kim Novak in "Scandalous!"
This isn't the first time Sweeney has run into romance rumors regarding her and a co-star. She's been battling rumors about her "Anything But You" co-star, Glen Powell, for years.
"There is nothing going on romantically between Glen and Sydney," a source told Us Weekly after the actress attended Powell's sister's wedding. "They are just friends. Sydney is close with the entire family.

This Netflix reality dating series, a spin-off of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On , focuses on queer relationships, offering an authentic exploration of love and commitment. With Season 2 set to premiere soon, here's everything you need to know about the new season. Release Date for The Ultimatum: Queer Love Season 2 The Ultimatum: Queer Love Season 2 will premiere on June 25, 2025, on Netflix. The season will consist of 10 episodes, released in two batches. The first batch drops on June 25, with the second batch following on July 2, 2025. This staggered release will keep viewers hooked as the couples navigate their journey of self-discovery and connection. While a reunion episode for Season 2 has not been confirmed, fans can expect updates as the premiere approaches. Cast Updates: Meet the New Couples Season 2 introduces six new queer couples, all consisting of women and non-binary individuals, set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami, Florida. This marks a shift from Season 1's San Diego setting, bringing a fresh, sunny energy to the experiment. The couples are at a crossroads, with one partner ready to tie the knot and the other hesitant, leading to the titular ultimatum. Here's the lineup, as announced by Netflix: Ashley (she/her, 30) and Marita (she/her, 25) : Ashley issued the ultimatum, eager to settle down, while Marita seeks grander romantic gestures and isn't fully ready to commit. Their five-year age gap adds complexity to their dynamic.

Marie (she/her, 27) and Mel (she/her, 27): Marie issued the ultimatum, craving direction in their four-year relationship. Running a food truck together, they face tension as Marie pushes for marriage. The cast's diversity and unique stories promise compelling narratives, with participants navigating personal challenges like family acceptance, commitment fears, and compatibility concerns. Fans can follow their journeys on social media, with Instagram and TikTok handles shared on Netflix's Tudum page. Who's Hosting Season 2? JoAnna Garcia Swisher, known for Sweet Magnolias and Reba , returns as the host. Despite some criticism in Season 1 for being a straight host on a queer-focused show, Swisher's enthusiasm for celebrating queer relationships shines through. She has expressed excitement about guiding the couples through this intense experiment, emphasizing the universal nature of love and commitment. What to Expect from Season 2 The Ultimatum: Queer Love Season 2 follows the same gripping format as its predecessor. Over eight weeks, the couples will: Split Up and Date : Each partner dates other participants, exploring new connections. Enter Trial Marriages : Couples choose new partners for a three-week trial marriage, living together to test compatibility. Reunite with Original Partners : After the trial, they return to their original partners for another three-week trial marriage. Make a Final Decision: Each couple decides to marry their original partner, stay with their trial partner, or walk away alone. Set in Miami, expect vibrant settings like parasailing dates and poolside confrontations, amplifying the drama. The trailer hints at intense emotional moments, with one contestant noting, 'Lesbians are brutal,' suggesting plenty of chaos and partner-swapping. The season will delve into complex issues like family dynamics, personal growth, and the pressure of commitment, all within the queer community's unique lens.

Larsa Pippen's 4 Children: All About Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin and Sophia
Larsa Pippen may be a single mom now, but she and her ex-husband, Scottie Pippen, are aligned when it comes to their four children: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin and Sophia. 'I feel like we're both the same when it comes down to parenting our kids,' she told Bravo's The Daily Dish in 2023. 'We're both pretty understanding with our kids, and we both have the same parenting goals for our kids. So I think it, like, works for our family.' The Real Housewives of Miami star married Scottie in 1997. At the time, the NBA player was already a father of four children from previous relationships. The former couple welcomed their first child together, son Scotty Jr., in November 2000. They had two more sons — Preston and Justin — in 2002 and 2005. Three years later, they welcomed their only daughter, Sophia. Larsa and Scottie split in 2018, after 21 years together. The pair finalized their divorce in 2021, but remain on good terms. As their kids have gotten older, they've started to follow in their parents' footsteps. Scotty Jr. and Justin have both pursued basketball careers of their own. Sophia has taken after her mother in the world of fashion and modeling. Meanwhile, although Preston played basketball in high school, he's forging his own path as a recent college graduate. 'I want my kids to do the things that make them feel good,' Larsa told The Daily Dish. 'I feel like if they're comfortable doing whatever passion or whatever they want to pursue, I feel like I'm excited to help.' Here's everything to know about Larsa Pippen's four children: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin and Sophia. Larsa became a mother on Nov. 10, 2000, when she and Scottie welcomed their first child together, son Scotty Pippen Jr. Scotty was born in Portland, Ore., but grew up in Florida and California. From an early age, he was a natural athlete. 'He had a ball like that probably since he was born,' Scottie told PEOPLE in 2022. 'As a father, the ball was around him.' During the series premiere of The Real Housewives of Miami in 2011, Larsa described her oldest child as 'just like his dad — super, super competitive.' Unsurprisingly, he played basketball at Los Angeles' prestigious Sierra Canyon School and, later, at Vanderbilt University. In July 2022, he started playing professionally after signing with the Los Angeles Lakers. Speaking to PEOPLE about it, Scotty explained feeling both anxious and excited about launching his basketball career. 'Having a father in the NBA definitely puts a target on your back. So, I think just being able to endure all that and finally say 'I made it,' is a good feeling,' he said. 'I would say there are higher expectations because people expect me to be like my dad, but I don't really let that get to me because that's just what people think I should be or should not be,' he continued. Regardless of any pressure — both external and internal — he described it as 'a dream come true.' Signing with the Lakers was not only a huge accomplishment for the then-21-year-old, but also for his parents. 'I'm very proud of him,' Scottie told PEOPLE that September. 'As a father, I can't continue to lead or guide him on the court. At some point, I took my own wings and went and he will do the same.' Larsa, too, gushed over her oldest son's milestone. 'I'm so proud of him,' she told The Daily Dish in 2023. 'He's been on this journey since he was 4 years old. I feel like this is his lifelong dream and he loves the Lakers, so I'm really excited for him to be part of an organization that he loves so much." Following his rookie season, Scotty was waived by the Lakers, but in January 2024, he signed a two-way contract with the Memphis Grizzlies. He has since signed a multi-year contract with the team. Larsa and Scottie welcomed their second child, Preston Pippen, on Aug. 26, 2002, in Portland. Preston was named after his grandfather, Scottie's father, who died in 1990. Like others in his family, Preston was a basketball player. He played on the team in high school, but unlike Scotty, he opted not to continue the sport in college. Larsa highlighted how different the two boys were in the 2011 RHOM series premiere, explaining that Preston wasn't hyper competitive like his older brother and dad. '[He] is a little more laid back,' she shared. After high school, Preston went to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. 'He is studying entrepreneurship and business,' Larsa told The Daily Dish in 2023. 'So he's super excited about that.' In May 2025, he graduated with a degree in business. Both of his parents, along with his siblings, showed up to watch him receive his diploma. 'You've earned every bit of this... today's just the beginning. Proud dad right here!' Scottie wrote on Instagram. The following day, Larsa shared her own sweet post to celebrate his achievement. 'Congrats my love I'm so proud of you,' she wrote in the caption. Larsa and Scottie welcomed a third baby boy, Justin Pippen, on July 11, 2005. Unlike Scotty and Preston, Justin was born and raised in California. But unsurprisingly, he was equally interested in basketball. 'He's actually another athlete,' Larsa told The Daily Dish in 2023 about her youngest son. 'He loves basketball. So he's kind of following in little Scotty's footsteps and his dad's.' In 2024, Justin graduated from Sierra Canyon School where, like his older brothers, he was part of the basketball team. He then joined the collegiate basketball team at the University of Michigan. In an interview that same year on Defend the Block, the school's athletic podcast, he described growing up in a basketball-focused household. He said the best advice his dad gave him was to 'push myself to exhaustion.' He went on to explain how his father didn't grow up with money and had to hustle to get where he is. While Justin acknowledged that his own upbringing was much different, he explained that his dad 'still wants me to work as hard as I can.' Justin went on to joke about how he and Scotty differ when it comes to the game, saying that while his big brother is stronger, he shoots better. In early 2025, after playing with Michigan for one season, Justin announced that he was transferring to the University of California, Berkeley, to play for the California Golden Bears. On her Instagram Stories, Larsa shared a screenshot of the news, writing, 'excited for your next chapter.' Larsa and Scottie's youngest child, and only daughter, Sophia Pippen, was born on Dec. 26, 2008, in California. Kim Kardashian is her godmother. Like both her mom and her godmother, the teenager is interested in the entertainment industry. 'My daughter, Sophia, is a model,' Larsa told The Daily Dish in 2023. 'She acts, she dances. She's my mini Larsa.' However, that comfort with the spotlight wasn't always the case. In a 2022 interview with 360 Magazine, Sophia explained some of the downsides of being born into a famous family. 'It was difficult when I was younger but surrounding myself with friends that are in the same situation has helped me change my perspective,' she said. 'I like being active on social media in hopes that I'm inspiring kids my age to follow their passions.' Growing up, Sophia was close with both of her parents and her older siblings. 'My brothers and I get along very well,' she said in a 2015 interview with Poster Child magazine. 'I am the only girl so they are all protective of me." She went on to say that while her dad encourages her and her brothers to 'be the best at anything we do,' her mom only wants them to be happy and chase their dreams. For Sophia, that dream is to one day start her own fashion line. At just 16, Sophia has already been modeling for over a decade. She walked the runway at the New York City Kids Fashion Week in 2014 and has had brand deals with Oscar de la Renta and Fashion Nova. In 2018, she was also featured on Dancing with the Stars: Juniors. 'DWTS Junior taught me the importance of hard work and dedication,' she told 360 Magazine. 'After the show, I started taking more dance lessons because of how much I fell in love with it.' She's also taken acting classes and is continuing with her modeling career.

Hysterics Over How Labrador Pranks Her Neighbor Every Day: 'Nose Height'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A video of a Labrador named Emmy leaping out of her owner's car and dashing across the street to complete her daily ritual has gone viral on TikTok, amassing 3.5 million views. The clip shared to @emmythelabofficial shows Emmy sitting in a car and a male voice can be heard behind the camera explaining that they'd had a long day and that Emmy hadn't yet seen the neighbor, Linda Rose. That, he suggests, explains why she was so eager to race over and wag her tail excitedly while waiting for the door to open. When she reaches the house, she rings a doorbell positioned at nose height—presumably just for her. Before the door is even fully open, she darts inside. The heartwarming scene, captioned: "Labrador retriever pranks neighbor with her daily trick," has received 357,000 likes since it was shared on June 9. "I love that she has her own doorbell. Labs are so smart," praised one user. Another commented: "The doorbell at nose height [crying emoji]. How Pets Help Us Make Friends While it's well known that pets, especially dogs, are great companions, researchers have found that our furry friends might also help us build human friendships and expand our social circles. In the comments, one follower notes that Linda Rose is an elderly neighbor. A study published in the journal PLOS One involving residents from four cities—Perth in Australia, and San Diego, Portland, and Nashville in the U.S.—looked into whether pets help people connect with others in their neighborhoods. A stock image of a Labrador retriever standing at front door. A stock image of a Labrador retriever standing at front door. Arvydas Lakacauskas/iStock / Getty Images Plus Over 2,600 people were surveyed over the phone, including both pet owners and non-pet owners. The researchers asked how often they meet and get to know people around them, and if their pets played a role in that. The results were clear: people who owned pets were much more likely to know others in their local area. In fact, pet owners were around 60 percent more likely to strike up a conversation with neighbors than those without pets. The effect was especially strong in Perth, San Diego, and Nashville. The study also revealed that around 40 percent of pet owners reported receiving one or more types of social support—whether emotional, informational, appraisal-based (e.g., feedback or encouragement), or practical help—from the people they met through their pets. Among pet owners, dog owners stood out. In the U.S. cities, dog owners were significantly more likely than owners of other types of pets (like cats, birds, or fish) to say that they'd made real friends through their pets. Think dog park chats that turn into coffee dates or neighborhood strolls that spark new friendships. In short, owning a pet—especially a dog—doesn't just bring joy at home. It might just be the icebreaker you didn't know you needed to turn neighbors into friends and build a stronger sense of community. Newsweek reached out to @emmythelabofficial for comment via email.
