Sydney Sweeney turned heads when she was seen discreetly getting into a car with her former fiancé, Jonathan Davino, after a dinner outing at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.
Prior to this unexpected rendezvous, the 28-year-old Euphoria actress enjoyed a private meal with friends in one of the exclusive back rooms of the restaurant. This gathering coincided with Game 7 of the MLB World Series, which saw the Dodgers face off against the Blue Jays, as reported by an eyewitness to the Daily Mail.
The insider described the ambiance in the private dining area as ‘intimate and relaxed.’ They noted that Sweeney seemed to be in high spirits, engaging in lively conversation and laughter with her companions between innings.
Following her dinner, Sweeney maintained a low profile as she left the venue, stepping into a black ride-sharing vehicle that reportedly traveled just a short distance.
Shortly thereafter, she was observed making a quiet switch to another car, this one driven by Davino, who is 42.
Photos captured the two-time Emmy nominee crouched in the passenger seat beside Davino, adding fuel to the curiosity surrounding their meeting.
The friendliness between them didn’t seem to last long as TMZ reported an insider shared Sweeney got upset with Davino.
A source shared, at one point, the star screamed: ‘I don’t believe you. Please leave, leave me alone.’

For the late-night outing on Saturday, she put on a leggy display in blue shorts paired with dark brown knee-high boots, an oversized brown leather jacket, a tan designer handbag and dark sunglasses.
The sighting comes amid ongoing rumors that Sweeney has been dating Scooter Braun.
Sweeney and Davino, who dated for several years and got engaged in early 2022, previously kept their relationship largely private.
At this time, it is unknown whether the pair are rekindling their romance or simply remain close friends.
Last month, a source told The Sun that she had ‘plans to take her relationship’ with Braun to ‘the next level.’
The insider claimed the pair are now looking to move into together just months after meeting.
The actress and the record executive, 44, met over the summer at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Venetian wedding in Italy and ever since, the pair have seemingly been inseparable.
They said the stars were like ‘teenage lovers’ who are constantly in contact with one another.

The pair then ‘went home together’, an eyewitness alleged to the Daily Mail

A friend said: ‘When they aren’t together, they are always on the phone, on FaceTime, and messaging each other all the time.’
Another added: ‘They are also planning on moving in together in the next couple of months.’
The source also told the outlet: ‘Either by the end of the year or by the beginning of 2026, so they can take their relationship to another level.’
The Daily Mail has contacted Sydney and Scooter’s representatives for comments.
‘He really, really likes her,’ a source close to the couple said after he attended her star-studded space-themed 28th birthday party in Los Angeles last weekend.
It comes as the Daily Mail has learned that the budding pair are very serious.

‘They talk every day and see each other often, it is hot and heavy,’ a source shared.
‘I don’t want to say the L word, but it feels like the L word. They seem very much in love, or at least incredibly in lust.’
‘The attraction is she is hot as can be and he is an old soul who is helping her guide her way through sudden fame and her exploding career. He gives great advice. They have what each other wants.’
As their early-stages but ‘very real’ romance amps up, Sweeney reportedly spent Labor Day weekend with Braun during a romantic Lake Tahoe retreat and even introduced him to her parents.
In recent weeks, the actress and the businessman have also been spotted on a number of intimate, low-key dates in Los Angeles.

‘It’s not a casual relationship,’ a source told Page Six. ‘It’s game on. It’s full throttle. They are together.’
Meanwhile, another source told People that the pair ‘have a lot in common and neither one of them cares what others think’.
The actress’s friends and family are ‘really happy about this relationship’.
There have been claims that the two have been together since April when they took in Lana Del Rey’s performance at the Coachella Music Festival, but that claim has yet to be confirmed.
Sweeney ended her engagement with film producer Jonathan Davino, 42, in March.
Braun divorced wife Yael Cohen in July 2021 after seven years of marriage. They have children Jagger, nine, Levi, seven, and Hart, five.
