Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun have reportedly been dating for about a year. Their relationship appears to be getting more serious. The Euphoria star was recently spotted spending time with her boyfriend’s children. Amid their high-profile romance, a psychotherapist warned the couple about bringing children into the public eye.

Braun shares three children with his ex-wife, Yael Cohen. According to Fox News, Sweeney and Braun were recently spotted enjoying smoothies with two of his children in Los Angeles. Given the couple’s fame, psychotherapist Robin Hamilton suggested that they treat the children ‘as if they are individuals who didn’t choose to be celebrities.’

Hamilton emphasized children’s privacy, especially for those who have famous parents. She said, “You want to keep their personal lives personal, and their parents’ celebrity lives theirs.” The psychotherapist further pointed out that celebrities must keep their children’s lives separate “because people are going to be approaching these kids.”

Hamilton highlighted that people would always have questions for celebrities’ kids. Therefore, she advised famous parents to “prepare the kids to navigate those questions and how people are going to approach them” if they wish to lead their lives in the public eye. She further suggested parents spend quality time with their children away from cameras. 

Speaking about Sweeney’s latest outing with Braun’s children, she added, “You know, not putting all that pressure on the kids right now, because it’s a lot.” Hamilton cited an example of child stars and what happens to them when they cannot handle the pressure. 

Communications and relationship expert Nicole Moore also commented on Sweeney and Braun’s latest public outing. She pointed out that the couple is working well together. They are putting spending time with his children as their priority instead of posing for cameras. She further called their latest outing a significant step in their relationship.

Sweeney previously faced backlash over dating Braun. While some pointed to their 17-year age gap, others called Braun manipulative. According to Radar Online, an insider claimed last year that Sweeney’s friends were concerned about her relationship with Braun.

An insider revealed last year how The White Lotus star made it clear that her romantic choices were of nobody’s concern. She was reportedly having fun in the first few months of the relationship. However, her opinion did not align with her close ones. “But friends say he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing and you only have to look at his past to see that,” the source revealed. 

The insider highlighted Braun’s feud with Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber. As Swift labeled him an “incessant, manipulative bully,” the insider highlighted that many other musicians who have worked with Braun may feel the same. Moreover, they suggested that anyone “interested in dating him should seriously rethink that because he’s not to be trusted.”

The insider pointed out that Sweeney could date whoever she wants, but many think she was “making a huge mistake even associating with him.” Her pals reportedly believed that the Anyone But You star could do “much better.”

Since the insider’s suggestions, the couple has reportedly completed a year of dating. Reports claim that their relationship grew into something more meaningful after remaining casual for the first few months.
