No feud was known between Ari and Scooter, though Scooter’s media and entertainment company, SB Projects, once worked exclusively with WME. SB Projects has since been sold to Hybe and now collaborates with UTA. Scooter has been heavily involved in Sydney’s career since they began dating last June. Most read in Entertainment It was recently reported that Scooter called CAA principal Kevin Huvane to set up a sit-down with Sydney, despite the company’s head of motion picture group, Joel Lubin, claiming he was close to signing her after pursuing her as a client for over a year. “It’s embarrassing for Joel, but Scooter is the kind of guy who goes straight to the top,” a source reportedly told the publication. There are apparently no hard feelings over the snag, as others inside the agency said it “wasn’t very dramatic.” “Joel was on the team the entire time. He’s very happy and thrilled [that they signed Sweeney]. He brought this to Kevin,” another source claimed. Sydney and Scooter began dating last June Credit: Splash Sydney recently turned heads after stripping completely nude for a new Novig campaign Credit: Instagram / Sydney Sweeney / Novig Sydney has appeared to mold herself into a sex symbol, becoming one of the most talked-about A-listers with her sexy roles and nude promos. She created quite the stir with her Euphoria character Cassie Howard’s transformation into an OnlyFans model in the HBO series’ third and final season, released earlier this year. Fans had mixed reviews about her performance, with her barely-there wardrobe and even dressing up like a “sexualized baby.” Sydney further tested her boundaries by modeling in steamy ads for her new lingerie brand, Syrn, which she launched in January. The biggest head-turner, however, might be her latest photoshoot for the sports betting app Novig, in which she posed completely nude while holding various sports equipment. Scooter has supported his girlfriend in each endeavor, and a source reportedly told Page Six that he wants to marry her because “he thinks she is the modern Marilyn Monroe.” Sydney nearly tied the knot with her ex-fiancé Jonathan Davino, 43, before calling off their wedding in March 2025, after six years of dating. Scooter briefly dated Canadian model and actress Rachelle Goulding after splitting from his ex-wife, health activist Yael Cohen, in 2022, after eight years of marriage and three children together.
