Granted, Sweeney’s firm stance hasn’t stopped media outlets and fans from speculating about her life behind the scenes, with all sorts of rumors making the rounds. But there’s one rampant rumor the Euphoria star isn’t particularly fond of, and it involves none other than her enigmatic fiancé, Jonathan Davino.
In this article, we’re diving into the utterly false rumor about Davino that drives Sweeney up the wall, her unapologetically blunt response to it, and why she’s chosen to keep their relationship tightly under wraps despite the relentless gossip.
Sydney Sweeney Is Fed Up With A Rampant Rumor About Her Fiancé, Jonathan Davino
Sydney Sweeney has amassed a massive fanbase since rising to the limelight after clinching pivotal roles in hit TV shows like Euphoria and The White Lotus. With 20 million followers on Instagram and an additional 1.9 million on TikTok, the 26-year-old is among the most famous TV and film stars of her generation.
Unsurprisingly, Sweeney’s popularity has evoked intense fascination with her private life, with many eager to know what goes on in the Euphoria star’s life when she’s not decked out for the cameras. This, coupled with Sweeney’s firm stance on privacy, has led to endless speculation among fans and media outlets, with all manner of rumors emerging as a result.
Of particular interest is Jonathan Davino, the Anyone but You star’s reclusive fiancé. With Davino intent on steering clear of the limelight and Sweeney remaining tight-lipped about their relationship, fans are left to sift through the rumor mill—a source that Sweeney treats with obvious skepticism.
She shared with Glamour in a December 2023 interview:
“I’ve never really shared that much [about my relationship], so the press loves to create drama in stories," she said. "It’s crazy. And then when you Google it, it’s all wrong information.”
A particularly rampant rumor revolves around Davino’s source of income, with some sources claiming that he’s a restaurateur and others that he’s the heir to a Chicago pizza company. In her 2023 chat with Glamour, Sweeney finally set the record straight on the rumor with a brutally honest response.
“He’s not a restaurateur. I have no idea where that came from. He’s also not the heir of a pizza company… We’ve been watching [this narrative] for six years now and I’m like, ‘What the hell?’”
The Sydney Sweeney Photoshoot That Did More Harm Than Good For Her Career
Sydney Sweeney generated lots of hate online for her outfit during a particular photoshoot.
But it’s not the first time the rumor mill has gotten details about the Euphoria star’s private life absolutely wrong. Speaking to Variety in August 2023, Sweeney delved into her hard-won battle to correct her dad’s occupation from ‘doctor’ to ‘hospitality professional’ on Wikipedia.
“I wish he was a doctor — life would have been a little different! I have tried emailing, and they won’t change it. Like, it’s the real me," she said. "He lives on a ranch in Mexico, and doesn’t have internet or cell service. I know he’s proud of me, and I know he’s like, ‘Wow, this is a crazy world!’”
What Does Sydney Sweeney’s Fiancé Jonathan Davino Really Do For A Living?
Despite Sydney Sweeney setting the record straight on rumors that her fiancé is the heir to a pizza company, the 26-year-old didn’t divulge much about his actual occupation. “He’s a business guy. He’s from Chicago,” she shared with Glamour.
Aside from being a 'business guy,' Davino appears to have ventured into filmmaking, with Sweeney claiming that he was her producing partner in the 2023 romantic comedy Anyone but You, in which she both starred and produced.
“We produced [Anyone But You] together. Jonathan is my producing partner, so he helped put the whole thing together. It’s really great to work with someone who knows you so well, who fully supports your ideas, your vision and your voice… And it’s nice. I mean, who doesn’t want to be with their best friend all the time?”
Although Davino’s IMDb page does not include a producing credit for Anyone but You, Sweeney has credited him with involvement in the film’s production on several occasions. Among those occasions was during her Saturday Night Live debut in March 2024, where she addressed rumors that she and co-star Glen Powell had been romantically involved while shooting the film.

Sydney Sweeney's net worth has skyrocketed in recent years, leaving fans wondering how she amassed her fortune.

Why Sydney Sweeney Likes To Keep Details About Her Relationship With Jonathan Davino Private
Despite the breadcrumbs she’s let slip over the years, Sydney Sweeney’s private life remains shrouded in mystery. As it turns out, there’s a pretty good reason why the star keeps her life under such tight wraps.
“I would love to share my normal life so that people can see that it’s not all glamour,” she shared with Cosmopolitan in a 2022 interview. “But I can’t because one, I like my privacy, and two, social media is another platform for business. Sharing my life on it could go against the integrity of the business and brand I’m trying to create.”
Despite the intense fascination surrounding her love life, the Immaculate star is hesitant to loosen her grip on her privacy.
“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. 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,” she shared with Glamour in 2023, adding,
“I’ve been in a steady relationship for a really long time, which is not normal in this industry and not normal for my age. What I’ve noticed about the idea of celebrity is people really love to build someone up, and then tear them down.”
Sydney Sweeney's Fake Relationship With Glen Powell Landed Her A Big Break
Sydney Sweeney's fake relationship with Glen Powell didn't just help promote their movie — it amplified her career.
The Euphoria star even has a firm rule against dating in Hollywood, one of the many measures she uses to shield her personal life from prying eyes
“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,” she shared with Cosmopolitan in 2022, adding,
“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.’”
