She has also received praise for her work on The Handmaid's Tale and in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and numerous other acting projects.Recently, she was spotted kissing her longtime love Jonathan Davino in Hawaii. Unfortunately, the news didn't sit well with some fans. It seems that many fans were disappointed after finding out the actress wasn't gay, even though Sydney has never responded to any rumors about her sexuality. People on Twitter have been quick to react to the news that the 'Euphoria' star is in a relationship.Updated on March 5, 2022: According to all reports, it was confirmed on the 2nd March 2022 by People that Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino are now engaged.

She has been seen living her best life on vacation with her fiancé and the couple seem extremely happy.
While Sydney Sweeney has never publicly commented on her sexuality, she did once share a tweet that implied she was bisexual and she played a queer character on the Netflix comedy Everything Sucks.
While some of Sweeney's queer fans may still be hoping that the actress will come out one day, the online "outrage" and jealousy about her being with a man seems to have died down. However, Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino's relationship has been criticized by fans for another reason – some are upset about the couple's thirteen-year age gap. The couple started dating when Sweeney was just twenty or twenty-one, and Davino was already in his thirties. Furthermore, some fans are wary about Davino's complicated legal history – he's been involved in numerous legal cases surrounding the pizza franchise that his family owns.

Are There Dating Rumors About Sydney Sweeney And Brad Pitt?
In 2019, there was a rumor that she was in a romantic relationship with Brad Pitt, who is 34 years older than her. According to the paparazzi, the two spent a lot of time on set together.
An insider told Radar Online, "She's absolutely made an impression on him during their time together on the movie, and he's been sweet on her ever since." The rumors, however, were never confirmed and with Sydney being in a committed relationship with Jonathan, clearly the rumors about her and Brad Pitt were nothing more than that.
Sydney Sweeney Is Used To Dealing With Hurtful Comments Online
Recently, Sydney learned the hard way that when a star is trending on social media, it may not always be a cause for celebration. She took to Instagram in a tearful livestream after noticing that her name was trending on social media. When diving deeper into the reason why, Sydney found that harsh criticism about her appearance was the main topic of conversation.
From what it seems, this entire situation stemmed from one tweet suggesting that Sydney is "ugly" while comparing her physical appearance to a "muppet" and that she is "unattractive if you don't look at her breasts."
The tweet has since been removed, and even if it was still floating around Twitter, it's unnecessary to give the person who tweeted it any added attention for bullying someone to the point of tears.
The actress said during a livestream, "I think it's really important for people to see how words actually affect people. I know everyone says you can't read things, you shouldn't read things, but I'm a f***ing person," while explaining that she was doing nothing but watching TV with her dog when she happened to stumble upon the unnecessary hatred.
Sydney urged fans to be nicer on social media. Fans immediately rushed to Sydney's defense, sharing a slew of supportive messages while urging her to try and look past the opinions of Internet trolls who have nothing better to do with their time.
Hopefully, Sweeney received support from her fiancé and her Euphoria cast mates.
