As happens with any rising star, Sydney Sweeney earned tons of attention after her breakout role on Euphoria. But unlike many celebrities, Sydney always seemed humble and relatable to fans, even seeming to share details of her life with her followers; at one point, Sydney seemed to suggest she might be bisexual. Of course, that led to fans being angry when they first discovered Sydney Sweeney had a boyfriend (now fiancé), but over time, Sydney's happiness was apparent, and fans may have cooled off.

The thing is, despite meeting Jonathan Davino before fame, Sydney has managed to keep her man and her relationship completely under wraps. Not much is known about Jonathan Davino, but the good news is that there are plenty of hints. Here is everything we know about Jonathan Davino, what Sydney Sweeney has said about her fiancé and his work, and what fans can expect from the two of them in the future.

Sydney Sweeney And Her Team Were Furious After The Opposition Unfairly Brought Up Her Revealing Scenes In Court

Jonathan Davino Is Over A Decade Older Than Sydney

Jonathan is a much-older businessman

One of the biggest concerns fans had about Sydney Sweeney's relationship was the age gap between her and her boyfriend. In 2018, when the two began dating (at least, as far as fans know), Jonathan would have been about 33; Sydney was 20 (her birthday is in September).

It wasn't until 2019 that Sydney and Jonathan went public, attending a basketball game. However, in an Elite Daily interview that year, the publication wrote that after receiving unsolicited DMs — many of them not PG-13 — "the onslaught scared her off online dating, even in secret."

"I don’t have enough friends to have a finsta."

Sydney Sweeney Admitted She Only Had $800 In The Bank During A Certain Point Of Her Hollywood Career

When her new beau made her dating life not-so-secret, it seemed like Sydney had been hiding things, and perhaps for a good reason. Immediately, fans were concerned about the age gap between Sweeney and Davino. A 13-year age gap made many uncomfortable, especially because of the nature of Hollywood's scandals.

Yet in many interviews, Sydney revealed details that made her seem more mature, perhaps explaining how she and Jonathan connected in the first place. In that 2019 interview, Sydney noted she was taking online business classes. She also admitted she doesn't go out much, and doesn't plan to do any crazy things for attention — which also concerned her, given how fleeting fame can be.

"Sometimes I’m worried that because I’m not crazy or I don’t do anything, that I’m just going to trail off... You won’t find me topless, stripping on top of a table."

Sydney Sweeney Has Dropped Some Hints About Her Beau Jonathan

Jonathan is a businessman and, now, a producer thanks to his fiancée

Also during that Elite Daily interview, Sweeney said she would love to live in one of two places, instead of Hollywood; either the Amalfi Coast, or Chicago. As for the Amalfi Coast, Sydney spent the summer there in 2019, which the interviewer raised their eyebrows at.

The actress responded that it was a "friend" she summered with, and it was that same "friend" who inspired her desire to live in Chicago — later, Sydney revealed that Jonathan is from Chicago.

"I have a place there. It's like my getaway place."

Regardless, Davino and Sweeney's relationship is very low-key; apart from sometimes being spotted by paparazzi, frolicking on the beach, the two keep a low profile. However, Davino is not completely absent from public view.

Jonathan seems to be the model Instagram boyfriend, snapping photos of Sydney that often feature, likely accidentally, parts of Davino's legs or other telltale signs he's behind the scenes. It's these types of scenarios that give fans information about Davino, beyond the fact that he seems like a supportive boyfriend. Because as much as Sydney refuses to talk about her man, she has said plenty in various interviews.

Sydney Sweeney Kept Cool After She Was Asked Which Scenes Are Off Limits For Her Career

Sometimes, Sydney grows frustrated with the rumors and speculation. In an interview with Glamour in 2023, Sweeney noted that the "facts" about her love life were "crazy."

While maintaining that she tries to "keep something for [herself]," Sydney did clear up some rumors about Davino, including one that he was a restaurateur and a trust fund baby; "He's also not the heir of a pizza company. He's a business guy. He's from Chicago."

Sydney's statements contradict Elite Daily's sleuthing, after which journalist Claire Downs wrote, "But there are some small-time gossip blogs such as ShowBizShelley, where, shortly after our interview, I find a September post linking Sweeney to a Chicago pizza heir in his 30s. Sweeney was 'very affectionate' with the guy, ShowBizShelley reports of his birthday party at TAO Chicago." This seems to suggest that Davino is, in fact, the pizza heir.

"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."

The actress also elaborated that the two work together, but that Davino wasn't into producing before he met Sweeney.

hey produced Anyone But You together, with Sweeney calling Davino her "producing partner." Sydney elaborated, "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?"

Despite Sydney's claims that she and Jonathan co-produced a film, his only IMDb credits are for other producing projects, with two lesser-known projects and 2024's Immaculate which, coincidentally, stars Sydney Sweeney.

And there are limits to what Sydney will share. When asked whether she had a reply to the reports that she was engaged, Sydney replied, "No comment" at the time. As happy as she seemed in her relationship, Sydney didn't feel a need to dive any deeper, though she did express her hopes and dreams for the future while chatting with Glamour.

What Does Jonathan Davino Do For A Living?

The businessman-turned-producer's job isn't quite clear

Sydney was up-front about Jonathan being a businessman, but even that descriptor is quite vague. Now he's a producer as well, but it's unclear how his job works. Given that Sydney stated all the rumors of Jonathan owning a pizza business were false, it's also unclear whether the information fans dug up on Davino is even correct.

At one point, fans believed that Jonathan Davino had a shady business past, with family feuds over branding and court action that wound up revealing a Jonathan Davino's net worth as $300K in 2021. Given Elite Daily's rumor chasing before Sydney and Jonathan went public, it seems like Sydney might just be trying to exercise control over the narrative — understandable, given how much fans want to pry into her life.

If Sydney's statements are true, then either fans were barking up the wrong tree, or Jonathan is no longer affiliated with any of the pizza companies in question. For whatever it's worth, there's also an LA-based photographer named Jonathan Davino, so the name isn't terribly uncommon.

Regardless, Sweeney clearly doesn't feel the need to clear up ALL the rumors about her fiancé's business dealings, but she also hasn't given fans much to work with. However, she did finally confirm her engagement to him during an appearance on SNL.

Thirsty Comments On Sydney Sweeney's Instagram Photo Are Giving Fans The Ick

Amid rumors she and Glen Powell had an affair during Anyone But You — their on-screen chemistry seemed palpable to fans — Sydney stated, "That’s obviously not true. Me and my fiancé produced the movie together and he was there the entire shoot. And I just want to let everyone know that he’s the man of my dreams and we’re still together and stronger than ever."

Sydney also said her man was there to support her, at which point the cameras panned to Powell in the audience, and Sydney called out, "That’s not my fiancé! He’s in my dressing room!"

Clearly, Jonathan is very involved in Sydney's world in Hollywood, but he also isn't one to ask for credit for any of it, preferring instead to be behind the scenes or, at least, in the dressing room.

It's also possible that Davino is no longer working in the same industry as he was pre-Sydney; producing may earn him a steady income, even without working as a partner to his fiancée.

Sydney Sweeney Definitely Wants To Have Kids (And A Husband)

There's no timeline, but Sydney will marry Jonathan Davino

Though she won't talk specific timelines regarding her fiancé, Sydney Sweeney definitely plans to have children, and may even be a young mom. In discussing her dreams with Glamour, Sydney said she thinks about having four kids and "living through their imagination."

At the same time, though she feels some pressure to rush, Sydney noted it would be "crazy" if she had a kid or got married before turning 30.

"I've gotten to that point where I think that whenever it’s going to happen, it’s supposed to happen. It’s like that one thing in life that maybe you can’t plan – the perfect timing. I love to schedule my life, I love to know everything that is going on, I like to have a plan. I like to have my whole year scheduled out."

Sydney also dropped the gem that she has a Pinterest board for her one-day wedding — but laughed that Jonathan has not seen it. Rather, she noted, "This is definitely a ‘Sydney World’ board. It’s what’s nice about being the boss of your own life. You don’t have to go to other people for answers, or yes or no."
