This week, we learned that Sydney Sweeney is casually dating Scooter Braun after they met at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Venice wedding. There’s a significant age and experience gap – Scooter is a 44-year-old music executive, and a divorced father of two. Sydney is a 27 year old Republican who just got out of a long-term relationship with another much-older man. I find it interesting that Scooter and Sydney’s relationship has even come out in the gossip world – he certainly has the kind of money and power to ensure that there’s little-to-no gossip about his romantic life. Which makes me wonder if Scooter is the one circulating these rumors. That and… these rumors do nothing to help Sydney or her image. Anyway, Sydney’s team does seem to be emphasizing that this situationship is very “casual.” Except Scooter and Sydney spent the Labor Day weekend together.

Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun are spending more time together after their “casual” relationship became public. Sources exclusively tell PEOPLE that the Anyone But You star, 27, and the former music manager and entrepreneur, 44, spent Labor Day weekend together at Lake Tahoe. The couple’s lakeside holiday along the California-Nevada border stretched from Friday through Monday as they “continue to get to know one another,” an insider reveals.

“He’s loving spending time with her and seeing where things go,” a source says of Braun.

Insiders share that the pair’s relationship, which one source dubs a “casual romance,” developed quietly behind the scenes months before news of their coupling broke. Sweeney and a “very attentive” Braun had “something going on already” when they attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s June wedding in Venice, Italy, a source close to Sweeney tells PEOPLE.

“They hung out in Italy for the Bezos wedding,” the insider says. “Syd was intrigued — Scooter’s a charmer. He’s confident, but also sweet and very attentive.” The source adds, “He’s not really her type, but she enjoyed the attention.”

According to the insider, Sweeney — who broke off her engagement with ex-fiancé Jonathan Davino, 42, in March — is “not looking to get wrapped up in another relationship” at the moment.

“She’s been clear about her goals for this year — it’s all about her career,” the source says. “She’s ambitious and very focused. She wants to make the most of every work opportunity that comes her way.”

Wait, now they’re saying that Scooter and Sydney were already seeing each other before the wedding in Venice? Interesting. It’s also very clear that Sydney is trying to turn down the temperature – emphasizing the “casual” nature AND talking about her focus on work. Especially considering that Scooter is a divorced man in his 40s with two kids – she’s probably worried that he wants to settle down quickly and lock this down. Good luck to them, because I think Scooter LOVES a mess, and he loves to leak sh-t about former clients.
