Actress Sydney Sweeney is reportedly considering converting to Judaism, a development linked to her increasingly serious relationship with music executive Scooter Braun. Sources close to the couple indicate that discussions about their future together, including the possibility of having children, have prompted Sweeney to explore the Jewish faith. The pair was recently observed attending Rosh Hashanah services at Temple Sholom in Greenwich, Connecticut, signaling a deepening commitment.
"You’ve made the ordinary feel exciting and the future feel like something I can’t wait to get to." Scooter Braun, Public Birthday Tribute
In recent months, Sweeney and Braun have become more public about their romance, with reports suggesting their relationship is heading toward marriage. Page Six previously reported that Braun is contemplating proposing to Sweeney within the next six months. This potential step towards matrimony appears to be a significant factor in Sweeney's reported consideration of religious conversion.
Converting to Judaism is a comprehensive process that typically spans several years, involving extensive religious study and guidance from a sponsoring rabbi. Sources told Page Six that Sweeney has already met with two rabbis to discuss the intricacies of this journey. This exploration comes as Braun has reportedly expressed a strong desire to marry the actress and start a family. "The couple is discussing having their own family and Scooter feels strongly on the subject," a source revealed. Another source added, "He is trying very hard to marry her."
Braun's pursuit of the relationship has been noted, with reports indicating he has been following Sweeney’s schedule and chartering private planes to facilitate their time together. His public affection was evident in a birthday tribute posted for Sweeney on September 12. In the message, Braun lauded Sweeney for profoundly impacting his perspective on partnership and the future. "You’ve made the ordinary feel exciting and the future feel like something I can’t wait to get to," Braun wrote. He further expressed that Sweeney makes him "smile harder," "laugh louder," "adventure more," and "dream bigger."
The couple has continued to travel together as their bond strengthens, with recent shared vacations including a group trip to Lake Powell in Utah. They have also been photographed together in picturesque locations such as Venice, Italy, and New Zealand. The intensity of their relationship has led some observers to draw parallels between Sweeney and iconic figures. One source reportedly compared Sweeney to Marilyn Monroe, calling her "the modern Marilyn Monroe." This comparison carries a notable historical precedent, as Monroe herself converted to Judaism after marrying playwright Arthur Miller.
However, unlike Monroe, Sweeney's conversion is not yet complete. Sources emphasize that she is still in the exploratory phase, meeting with religious leaders as she and Braun continue their discussions about marriage, children, and their shared future. The reported seriousness of these conversations, coupled with potential engagement plans and Sweeney's active engagement with the conversion process, suggests an increasingly permanent trajectory for their relationship. The public and those close to the couple are observing these developments as they unfold, marking a significant personal chapter for both Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun.
