Soccer star Christian Pulisic is addressing speculation that he is dating actress Sydney Sweeney. "Fake news guys, let's stop with the silly rumor," Pulisic, 27, wrote via Instagram under a post from Motivating Sport on Sunday, December 28. The post recapped Pulisic's recent accomplishments on and off the pitch, including that he is "reportedly dating Sydney Sweeney." "Form on the pitch. Life off it," the caption read. "Who wouldn't be confident right now?" Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun Were 'Surprised' by Their Connection Pulisic also took to his Instagram Story, adding in a since-expired post viewed by For The Win, "Also please stop with the made up stories about my personal life. Need to hold sources accountable, it can affect people's lives." Pulisic is currently dating professional golfer Alexa Melton, with the two first sparking dating speculation in summer 2024. Melton, 25, confirmed their relationship by posting a carousel of Instagram photos of the twosome that July, captioning the post, "Soft launch." Sweeney, 28, has recently been linked to Scooter Braun. After the two were spotted in public multiple times, a source exclusively told Us Weekly in September that the Housemaid star is "not exclusively dating anyone right now but is having fun with Scooter." One month later, a second insider told Us that the two had "become more serious." Why Scooter Braun Is a 'Different' Kind of Romance for Sydney Sweeney "Neither of them expected it to turn into something serious at first and are surprised by how genuine the connection has become," the source explained. Sweeney was previously engaged to Jonathan Davino, who popped the question in 2022. Us confirmed their split in March 2025. "They were supposed to get married this spring. The wedding is not happening, and they aren't having further discussions about it," a source told Us at the time. "Sydney wanted to cancel everything and couldn't handle the stress." A separate insider confirmed that Sweeney was "telling friends she's single." Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun's Complete Relationship Timeline Now, Sweeney says she is not interested in divulging more about her personal life. "The professional benefits for me of being private is for my own health and sanity," she told GQ in an interview published in November. "I think that if I let everybody in all the time, I have nothing for myself." She continued, "I'm just a 28-year-old woman who's trying to figure it out, and I'm still learning and I'm going to make mistakes and I'm going to grow. And I think that it's important to be able to do that without having to say every single thing all the time." The interview, which was recorded in September, also revealed that she was not "looking for a man." "What I've learned this year is that I have a really, really amazing group of girlfriends and I am strong and independent and that I'm going to be OK," she said. "If love finds me, love finds me," she continued. "I'm a hopeless romantic, so I hope love finds me, but I'm not the type of person that wants to go out all the time. And I do believe in true love and wanting to be with someone for the rest of my life."
