Sydney Sweeneys Steamy Midnight Snack Ad Unveiled

She also candidly revealed: 'The other day, my mom and I were talking about guys, and I was like: “Well, he’s not really my type.”'

Sweeney's mother Lisa then replied: '“Well, maybe your type’s not working out for you, Syd.” Maybe I need to be open to other experiences and try not to put everything in this exact box of what I think I need.' 

Braun and Sweeney were first linked when they were spotted .

In November, however, she was glimpsed sliding into a car driven by Davino after dinner with friends in Santa Monica, and during their conversation she was alleged to have shouted at him: 'I don't believe you. Please leave, leave me alone.'

During her recent interview, Sweeney reflected on her decision to .

'I was in a relationship for a very long time, for seven and a half years, and I never talked about it. I was very private. No one would ever see us,' she said.

'I think it’s important to have some things for myself. I understand that I’m a public person, but I’m still in my 20s. I’m still figuring out love, and it’s hard to do that with millions of people who have their own opinions of what that looks like.'

She recalled: 'At the same time, for all of my 20s, I put my head down and focused on work - and now I want to experience things. But it’s hard deciding that I want to experience love in the public eye. I’m just navigating it all.'

The revelation came after a source claimed Braun was 'furious' when he learned about Sweeney's encounter with Davino in November, via The Sun.

An insider has also stated Braun has grown 'frustrated' over the soccer players sliding into Sweeney's DMs on Instagram in a manner he regards as 'incredibly disrespectful,' despite the fact she 'ignores them and blocks the sender.'

The insider shared: 'Sydney has always been fiercely independent', the source explained. 'She values time alone - whether that’s travelling by herself, going out with girlfriends, or just switching off.'

Meanwhile her boyfriend 'prefers togetherness, and he’s still adjusting to that,' said the source, while noting Sweeney was 'completely transparent' with him.

'She shows him everything to be honest. Seeing how relentless some of these men are can upset him - but she always reassures him.'
