<p id=”par-6_47″>Many people are not as happy about the new romance as Braun and Sweeney’s friends and family seem to be.

<p id=”par-8_34″>“A part of me kind of thinks Sydney is fully rage baiting now…but honestly she probably is closer to the demographic she’s pandering to currently lol,” one <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/comments/1ntzur6/sydney_sweeney_scooter_braun_holding_hands/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a> user wrote. “Two unlikable people dating.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_5″>“Girl….” wrote another person simply.</p>
<p id=”par-10_17″>Some people felt that Sweeney doesn’t seem to care about her reputation after a string of controversies. </p>
<p id=”par-11_33″>“Truly feels like she broke the seal of unlikeability and was like ‘well there’s no turning back now I might as well do all the distasteful stuff I really want,’” wrote another person.</p>
<p id=”par-12_14″>For people who do not like either Sweeney or Braun, the couple made sense.</p>
<p id=”par-13_19″>“Honestly they seem like a good match based on all I know about each of them,” wrote one person.</p>

<p id=”par-16_27″>A source said that she could keep up with the pace of her career. She began to feel overwhelmed by planning a wedding with Davino, though.</p>
<p id=”par-17_47″>“She’s not ready to settle down,” the source said, adding, “They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didn’t split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now.”</p>
