Sydney Sweeney has been spotted getting cosy with a mystery man.
The Hollywood star, 27, was seen enjoying a spot of water sports on a lake in Idaho, where she owns her mother’s childhood home which she bought from new owners in 2022.
Joined by friends and family for the weekend getaway, Sweeney later ventured off with the unidentified male, with the Euphoria star photographed at the wheel of a jetski.
Clad in a black one-piece swimsuit, Sweeney flaunted her bronzed summer tan as she hit the water with her male companion.
The pair were also seen using a rope swing to leap into the lake.
Sweeney is newly-single, having split from her longtime fiance Jonathan Davino in April.
The pair were reportedly due to be wed in May, but they abruptly cancelled the wedding in March as reports emerged of cracks in the relationship.
The duo, who got engaged in 2022 after first being linked in 2018, are still yet to comment on the breakdown of their engagement.
Sweeney and Davino’s relationship became a hot topic of conversation in 2023 due to her undeniable chemistry with Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell.
Both Sweeney and Powell later admitted that they leaned into the chatter to promote the rom-com.
Meanwhile, the White Lotus actress has been weathering a PR storm this week after the launch of her American Eagle jeans campaign, which bears the tagline, ‘Sydney Sweeney has great jeans’.
Backlash to the ad, which dropped Monday in the US, has been swift, with many fans feeling it casually promoted “Nazi propaganda.”
In one of the racy campaign videos, Sweeney talks about how genes that are passed on from parents to their children often determine traits such as “hair colour, personality and even eye colour.”
Sweeney, who has blue eyes, ended the video by looking at the camera and saying, “My jeans are blue.”
Several TikTok users called out the ad for allegedly being a “racialised dog whistle,” arguing that it praised Sweeney’s genetic traits of blonde hair and blue eyes.
“When those traits are consistently uplifted as genetic excellence, we know where this leads,” said one TikTok user.
“This just echoes pseudoscientific language of racial superiority. All throughout history, those traits have been weaponised to uphold a racial hierarchy,” she added.
Several fans agreed with the user’s sentiments and shared their disdain for the ad in the comments section of American Eagle’s post.
“Who approved this campaign,” wrote one user.
“This is what happens when you have no ppl of colour in a room. Particularly in a time like this. This ad campaign got so caught up in this ‘clever’ play on words and this stunt the ppl in the room missed what was so blatantly obvious to anyone not white,” added another.
Neither Sweeney, nor representatives for American Eagle, have commented on the backlash.
