Scooter Braun has been following Sydney Sweeney around like a puppy dog ever since they started dating, but pals are saying it’s all too much and imploring him to stop being so needy and possessive, or risk driving the 28-year-old actress away.
“When they’re together, Scooter looks so stressed out, like he’s paranoid of getting dumped and is holding on for dear life,” a source close to Sweeney’s world tells Star. “People are like, give the girl some air for crying out loud!”
Braun, 44, can certainly afford to follow Sweeney wherever she goes. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the former talent manager has a whopping $1 billion to his name.
“He’s absurdly wealthy and doesn’t really have to work, so he has nothing but time and cash to devote to this relationship,” adds the source. “He’s working so hard to keep this thing going. He is making his whole life, and his whole footprint in Hollywood, about being by her side.”

As Star previously reported, Braun knows he has a prize in Sweeney and tells her all the time, and in front of people, that she’s going to be his wife.
However, “it’s so hard to imagine somebody like Sydney actually staying with him long-term,” admits the source. “He’s handsome and he’s loaded, but Sydney is one of the hottest stars in the world right now.”
The Euphoria star currently has at least six projects in the works, per IMBD, including the highly-anticipated follow-up to her 2025 box office smash hit, The Housemaid.
“She’s going to be making her next movie overseas. Is Scooter going to tag along with her for that when he has young kids he’s supposed to be helping to raise?” the source says of Braun, who shares sons Jagger, 11, and Levi, 9, and daughter Hart, 7, with ex-wife Yael Cohen.
“It’s all very undignified [but] Scooter doesn’t seem to understand how he looks in these kinds of situations,” notes the source. “He’s so desperate to please Sydney, he just doesn’t care!”
