Not Glen Powell, but Sydney Sweeney might be dating Brandon Sklenar: Stagecoach weekend looked way too couple-core
Sydney Sweeney might just be living her rom-com era, and the internet has thoughts. Over the weekend, the Euphoria star and her The Housemaid co-star Brandon Sklenar set the desert ablaze with their sizzling chemistry at Stagecoach Festival 2025. From giggling in VIP sections to sneaky hand-holding and late-night lingering, fans were quick to ask the obvious: are they dating, or is this just some heavy method acting?
Sydney Sweeney and Brandon Sklenar dating?
Clips from the country-music fest have now gone viral, showing the duo practically glued together, and not just once, but across both Saturday and Sunday nights. According to eagle-eyed festivalgoers, it was giving 'date night energy.' One witness claimed, 'It looked like Brandon was only there for Sydney, the man was acting single and very, very into her.' Another added that the pair were 'lovey-dovey' in the artists' area, and yes, hand-holding did happen. That was all the internet needed to spiral.

Source close to Sydney revealed saying, "they are..."
But wait — plot twist. A source close to Sydney said the internet needs to calm down because the two are 'just really good friends.' They added that Sydney has 'a flirtatious personality' and is just vibing post-breakup. We get it, bestie.

Still, not everyone's buying it. Observers pointed out that when they left the cosy corners of VIP and stepped into the crowd, Brandon reportedly threw on a hoodie like he was trying to stay low-key. Sneaky? Maybe. Romantic? Possibly. Suspicious? Absolutely.
Sydney Sweeney's engagement with Jonathan Davino
Let us not forget: Sydney just called off her engagement to Jonathan Davino in March. Apparently, her schedule was too packed with filming and press tours to make it work. Enter: Brandon. A pandemic-era love story? Not quite. He has been dating fitness coach Courtney Salviolo since 2020, though fans have noticed his socials have been suspiciously quiet lately.
So, are they just co-stars riding the festival wave? Or are we witnessing the beginning of Hollywood's next headline romance? Until someone spills the cowboy boots and tells all, we will be here, decoding every frame of those Stagecoach videos like it is the Zapruder film.

Sydney Sweeney Gained 14 Kg For Boxer Christy Martin: ‘My B*obs Got Bigger, Bu*t Got Huge'
Last Updated: The film, directed by David Michôd and co-written by Michôd and Mirrah Foulkes, will chronicle the rise and turbulent life of Christy Martin. Sydney Sweeney is going through a complete physical transformation for her next big role. The Euphoria star, who will portray legendary boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic, revealed in a new W Magazine cover story that she gained more than 14 kg (over 30 pounds) during training. 'I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training," Sweeney said. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour." Her body, she said, underwent a dramatic shift. 'I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My b*obs got bigger. And my bu*t got huge. It was crazy! I was like, Oh my god," Sweeney admitted, adding that despite the changes, she felt incredibly empowered: 'But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney) The film, directed by David Michôd and co-written by Michôd and Mirrah Foulkes, will chronicle the rise and turbulent life of Christy Martin, one of the most recognised female boxers of the 1990s. Martin held the WBC women's super welterweight title and became a symbol of grit and survival after she survived a brutal attempted murder by her husband, James Martin, in 2010. He was later convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Sweeney had earlier teased her transformation in an Instagram post from October 2024, sharing photos from her training. 'Over the past few months, I've been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman — a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring," she wrote, adding, 'Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope." The upcoming biopic stars Ben Foster as James Martin, alongside Merritt Wever, Katy O'Brian, Ethan Embry, Jess Gabor, Chad L. Coleman, and Tony Cavalero. The film is produced by Anonymous Content, Black Bear, Fifty-Fifty Films, Votiv, and Yoki Inc. First Published:

Sydney Sweeney's used bathwater soap resold for insane amount after it sells out immediately. Check details
Bars of soap made from the actual bathwater of Hollywood actor Sydney Sweeney has taken the internet by storm and is now available on Ebay for inflated prices after reportedly selling out within seconds. Recently, the 'Euphoria' star Sweeney decided to recycle her bathwater post soak and create her very own soap line with skincare brand Dr Squatch. Sydney Sweeney's latest collaboration with the men's skincare brand is built on their previous partnership, in which the 27-year-old actor appeared in a series of ads as a whimsical "body wash genie." After the success of that campaign and the strong consumer response to her involvement, Dr. Squatch teamed up with Sweeney once more to launch the new product, Sydney's Bathwater Bliss. 'When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it, or turn it into a bar of Dr Squatch soap,' Sweeney said in a press release announcing her new 'Bathwater Bliss' soap.

Watch video Sydney Sweeney bathwater soap sells instantly Priced at an affordable $8 (£5.90), the limited-edition soap—marketed with a certificate confirming it was made using water that actress Sydney Sweeney had bathed in—went on sale on 6 June and sold out within seconds. The frenzy didn't stop there. Listings on eBay now show items going for around £200, with some auctions reaching as high as $2000 (roughly £1,478), according to Ladbible. Sellers are even offering partial bars and photos of the soap for up to £105 and £73 respectively. Live Events While the concept may seem ironic for a product meant to clean you, the novelty clearly struck a chord. Demand was so overwhelming that it temporarily crashed Dr. Squatch's website, leaving many fans empty-handed during the frenzied launch. But all hope isn't lost. For those still eager to get their hands on the celebrity-infused soap, resale platforms like eBay have bars available—though at a steep markup. Prices on the secondhand market have skyrocketed, with listings now averaging around £200 and some reaching as high as $2,000 (£1,478). ALSO READ: Diet Coke is making a comeback in US after four years and internet can't keep calm Dr Squatch website crashes Dr. Squatch later confirmed via Instagram that their website had, in fact, crashed. In an official statement, the company said: 'You all crashed the site! The response to Sydney's Bathwater Bliss launch has been absolutely wild. We truly appreciate the Squatch-level excitement.' 'We're working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the product reaches the right people, strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. Thanks for bearing with us.' In an interview with GQ, Sweeney further explained the process of making the soap. 'When we were at the [Dr. Squatch] shoot, they had a tub for me. And I actually got in there and I took some soap, and we had a nice little bath and they took the water. So it's my real bath water,' she confirmed. 'I wanted to have it lean towards my home roots, so there's this really outdoorsy scent of, like, pine and earthy moss and fir. So it smells super manly. But then there's some city bath water mixed in.' ALSO READ: Donald Trump stumbles on Air Force One steps, internet says 'time for a wheelchair'. Watch video Sweeney previously discussed the oversexualisation of her body in an interview with Variety in March 2024. The actor admitted at the time that the constant remarks make her feel like she has 'no control' over online discourse about her appearance. Meanwhile, listings for the product have already appeared on eBay, with prices ranging from $100 (£73) to a staggering $2,000 (£1,478). 'I see it, but I don't let myself react. It's hard to explain—I'm still trying to make sense of it,' she said when asked about the viral response to her SNL debut. 'People feel entitled to talk about me however they want, as if being an actor means I've given up my right to personal boundaries. They see the characters I play as public property—and somehow, that extends to me as a person. It's like Sydney doesn't belong to me anymore,' Sweeney explained. 'There's this strange dynamic people have with me, and I have no say in it."

Who is Sydney Sweeney, the Emmy nominated actress whose bathwater soap sold out in seconds?
Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney stirred the internet by releasing a soap—infused with her actual bathwater—which sold out in seconds. The limited-edition "Sydney's Bathwater Bliss," launched with Dr. Squatch, became a viral sensation, blending celebrity appeal with quirky marketing. (Screenshots: Instagram/sydney_sweeney) In the ever-surreal world of celebrity branding, few stunts have managed to scrub the line between fame and frenzy quite like Sydney Sweeney's latest headline-grabber. The Emmy-nominated star of Euphoria and The White Lotus —known for her raw talent, shapeshifting roles, and unapologetic persona—has now become the talk of the internet for something completely unexpected: bathwater-infused soap. Yes, you read that right. On June 6, 2025, a limited-edition soap bar titled Sydney's Bathwater Bliss went on sale in collaboration with men's grooming brand Dr. Squatch—and it sold out in literal seconds. Only 5,000 bars were made, and the demand crashed the website, overwhelmed waitlists, and sparked a resale frenzy on eBay, where bars are now listed for prices north of $1,000. But behind the bubbles is a story of how Sweeney—once just another promising young actress—has reinvented herself into one of Hollywood's most bankable and bold stars. Born in Spokane, Washington, Sydney Bernice Sweeney began her career humbly, appearing in TV guest spots on shows like 90210 , Criminal Minds , and Grey's Anatomy . Her breakout came in 2018, with a dual splash—playing the quirky Emaline in Netflix's Everything Sucks! and the haunting Alice in HBO's Sharp Objects . Soon after, she appeared in The Handmaid's Tale , followed by a small but notable role in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood . But it was her portrayal of Cassie Howard in HBO's Euphoria that transformed Sweeney into a pop culture force. With a role that demanded vulnerability, complexity, and courage (not to mention intense media attention due to its nudity and raw emotional arcs), Sweeney emerged as a Gen Z icon. Her performance earned her an Emmy nomination, and her turn as a sardonic college student in The White Lotus only cemented her acting credentials. From that point on, Sydney Sweeney was no longer a rising star—she was a household name. Fast-forward to summer 2025, and Sweeney's name is once again on everyone's lips—but this time, it's her bathwater that's making waves. Following a cheeky 2024 ad for Dr. Squatch in which Sweeney was shown soaking in a tub, fans began flooding the internet with one strange request: they wanted her bathwater. Rather than dismiss the absurdity, Sweeney leaned into the joke. 'You kept asking about my bathwater,' she posted on Instagram. 'So we kept it.' Enter Sydney's Bathwater Bliss , a bar soap made with a 'touch of Sydney's actual bathwater,' blended with pine bark extract, exfoliating sand, and aromatic notes of Douglas fir and moss. Described as 'medium-grit' and 'infused with the essence of the outdoors and Sydney's tub,' the product sold for $8 before becoming internet folklore. The soap launch wasn't just a gimmick—it was a masterclass in viral marketing. Sweeney herself pitched the concept and oversaw the creative process. 'It's weird in the best way,' she said in a press release. 'We created something unforgettable that actually smells incredible. Hopefully, this helps guys wake up to the realities of conventional personal care products and pushes them towards natural.' Critics may have scoffed, but Sweeney doubled down. Speaking to People on the red carpet of her upcoming film Echo Valley , she brushed off the backlash with characteristic cool: 'Honestly, though,' she quipped, responding to the idea that the soap might at least get more men to shower. Beyond the viral soap stunt, Sydney Sweeney has been quietly building an empire. She founded her own production company, Fifty-Fifty Films, in 2020. She's starred in indie thrillers like Reality , mainstream flicks like Madame Web , and romantic hits such as Anyone But You —which she also executive produced and helped cast. She's also dipping her toes (and, clearly, her bathwater) into brand partnerships, serving as a face for Armani Beauty and Laneige. She's hosted Saturday Night Live , starred in a Rolling Stones music video, and is set to appear alongside Julianne Moore in the psychological drama Echo Valley , releasing later this month. Sweeney's approach to fame has always blurred the line between performer and producer. Whether it's reviving a horror script she first auditioned for as a teen ( Immaculate ), or championing natural grooming products through tongue-in-cheek campaigns, she's proving that modern stardom is as much about audacity as artistry. Is Sydney's Bathwater Bliss a bizarre moment in internet culture, or a clever commentary on celebrity obsession and consumerism? Perhaps both. But what's undeniable is Sydney Sweeney's ability to control her narrative—one lather, line, and lead role at a time. She's not just bathing in fame. She's bottling it, branding it, and turning it into soap. And apparently, people can't get enough.
