Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun have just made their relationship Instagram official after months of fan speculation.
The couple first started dating in September of last year after crossing paths a few months earlier at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Venice in June.
Since then, the Euphoria actress and the music producer were spotted on several dates, with a source telling PEOPLE back in December: "Scooter and Sydney are going strong and things between them are great.
"They're in a committed relationship, and things are serious."

With that said, however, neither has made an appearance on the other's Instagram - that is, until this week.
On Wednesday (15 April), Braun took to the social media platform to share his elation over being in a relationship with Sweeney.
He reposted a black-and-white photo of himself, and Sweeney cosied up alongside the overlay text reading 'lucky b*stard'.
The image in question appeared to have been taken at the Euphoria season three premiere, seeing Sweeney wearing a long-sleeve white dress while Braun opted for a black jacket and T-shirt ensemble.
The couple shares quite a notable age gap.
Sweeney is 28, while Braun is 14 years her senior at the age of 44.
Braun was previously married to South African activist Yael Cohen from 2014 before they parted ways in 2021. The pair officially divorced the following year in 2022.
Sweeney, meanwhile, was engaged to businessman Jonathan Davino for seven years before their split in March of last year.
Braun has three children with Cohen: sons Jagger Joseph and Levi Magnus, and daughter Hart Violet.
The first episode of the latest season of Euphoria dropped on Monday (13 April), with the second set to be released next Monday (20 April).
Sweeney has found herself at the centre of controversy this week due to her character Cassie Howard's OnlyFans storyline, which saw her dress up as a dog as well as a baby when shooting adult content.
Many fans have slammed it as being 'degrading' and 'vulgar', with one social media user hitting out: "How can Sydney Sweeney agree to do something like this? It's like a humiliation ritual."
"Getting Sydney to do this is diabolical," lamented another.
And a final critic echoed: "I just can’t believe Sydney Sweeney agreed to do half the sh*t we’re gonna see this season. Role-playing as a dog? Girl STAND UP..."
Others, however, couldn't have disagreed more.
"You guys are mad asf!!! She’s just doing her job, she’s playing an OnlyFans creator. Guess what, some people do this type of thing in real life," one fan wrote.
A second piped up: "Girl, it's called acting. Sydney's playing a messy character on a show that's always been wild and unhinged. If it was too much for her, she wouldn't have signed on. People acting shocked like they haven't seen Euphoria before lol."
And a third echoed: "The criticism of Cassie as a character and the shaming of the character’s actions is 100% valid, but blaming Sydney is absurd. She’s an actress playing a character and a talented one at that. The hate she gets is so unwarranted."
