A source previously told PEOPLE that Sweeney and Davino's relationship had been "rocky for a long time" after questions about the status of it were raised earlier this year.
The insider said that Sweeney has been focusing on work amid the end of her engagement. "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," they explained.
"What did make her overwhelmed, though, was her relationship and her wedding. She didn't feel right about it," the source added.

Sweeney currently has a new season of Euphoria in the works, and the Emmy-nominated star will lead a movie adaptation of The Housemaid bestseller, as well as portray real-life boxer Christy Martin and screen star Kim Novak, in upcoming projects.
The insider also told PEOPLE that 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."
"She's not ready to settle down," the source continued, adding of Sweeney and Davino: "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."
Sweeney and Davino, a businessman from Chicago, have been spotted out in public together following their split.
Of the outings, 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."
The former couple first sparked rumors that they were dating in 2018. Throughout the years, they kept details of their relationship 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.
Added the actress, '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.'

Sweeney also elaborated on her decision to keep her love life private in a February 2022 cover story for Cosmpolitan.
"I don't date people in the spotlight," she said. "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."
She continued, "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," Sweeney also said. "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."

A Cheers to Seema, And Just Like That's Certifiable Diva
In the first episode this season, we meet Seema again as she is trying to keep the romance alive with her boyfriend Ravi, who is off in Egypt making a film. (A Marvel movie director? Love that for her.) She decks herself out in full-on lingerie for their Zoom date, only for Ravi's assistant to keep her waiting for hours, to no avail. (Hate that for her.) She then falls sleep with a lit cigarette, lighting her bed (and some of her hair) on fire. Dramatic? Yes, but she essentially represents all the hoops many of us jump through for undeserving men. My queen, we see you and empathize with you! When Ravi finally gets into town, he then promises to take Seema out to lunch at Jean-Georges to make up for it—only to bring her along on a location-scouting trip that eats up their entire day. Fed up, she proceeds to swiftly dump him (in a fabulous white fringed dress, no less). As she should. She deserved that bougie martini lunch! We love to see a diva who knows her worth. If AJLT fans are still mourning the loss of the über-confident Samantha, Seema is here to fill that void: She is not to be messed with.

The trailer for Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein' shows Oscar Isaac making a monster of Jacob Elordi. What to know about the Netflix movie.
Netflix's "Frankenstein" movie features Oscar Isaac as the titular mad scientist. "Saltburn" and "Euphoria" star Jacob Elordi plays Frankenstein's monster. Here's what we know so far about the film directed by the Oscar-winning director, Guillermo del Toro. Guillermo del Toro's"Frankenstein" is coming to Netflix this fall, with Oscar Isaac playing Victor Frankenstein, the mad scientist who builds a monster (Jacob Elordi) using dead people's body parts. Based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel "Frankenstein," the synopsis for the film reads: "A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation." Netflix released the first "Frankenstein" trailer at its annual "Tudum" event on May 31, giving subscribers a glimpse of del Toro's gothic vision for the story. Here's what to know about the film. The first 'Frankenstein' trailer shows off Guillermo del Toro's faithful adaptation of the book The first trailer establishes how Frankenstein is obsessed with the idea of building a creature. In the ominous voiceover, he says: "I had a vision, an idea took shape in my mind. Inevitable, unavoidable, until it became truth." It shows his sprawling laboratory and the device he hooks up to a lightning rod on the building's spire to give life to his monster. Unlike previous adaptations of Shelley's book, del Toro's "Frankenstein" appears to be faithful to the source material. Most other adaptations do not feature Frankenstein chasing the monster into the Arctic toward the end of the plot. But the trailer includes snowy scenes depicting a frost-bitten Frankenstein, a ship trapped in the ice, and the monster attacking some of the crew. Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz star alongside Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi in 'Frankenstein' Isaac and Elordi are not the only big names that del Toro has recruited for his gothic sci-fi movie. Joining them are Christian Convery as young Frankenstein, "MaXXXine" star Mia Goth as Frankenstein's fiancée Elizabeth Lavenza, and " Inglourious Basterds" actor Christoph Waltz as Harlander. "Ahsoka" star Lars Mikkelsen plays Captain Anderson, the man leading an expedition to the Arctic, while Ralph Ineson of the "Fantastic Four" will play Professor Kempe. "Harry Potter" alumnus David Bradley will play the Blind Man. 'Frankenstein' is scheduled to arrive on Netflix in November Netflix has not confirmed a specific release date for del Toro's "Frankenstein," but has confirmed that the film will arrive in November 2025. And although the movie arrives around Halloween time, horror fans likely shouldn't expect jump scares. Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival in May, del Toro said: "Somebody asked me the other day, 'Does it have really scary scenes?' For the first time, I considered that. It's an emotional story for me," Variety reported. "It's as personal as anything. I'm asking a question about being a father, being a son… I'm not doing a horror movie — ever. I'm not trying to do that."
