Report: Actress Sydney Sweeney has met with 2 Rabbis, is Considering Converting to Judaism

As her relationship with music executive Scooter Braun moves toward discussions of marriage and children

Sydney Sweeney has met with two rabbis while considering conversion to Judaism as her relationship with music executive Scooter Braun moves toward discussions of marriage and children, according to reports published this week.

Page Six, citing sources familiar with the couple, said the 29-year-old actress is exploring the process amid talks about starting a family, a matter on which Braun, 45, "feels strongly." The reports follow the pair's attendance at Rosh Hashanah services last month at Temple Sholom in Greenwich, Connecticut, where a witness said they sat toward the back. Gossip account Deuxmoi had earlier noted the synagogue appearance and floated the possibility of conversion.

Sweeney and Braun began seeing each other in 2025 after meeting at the Venice wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. Sources have described the relationship as serious, with Braun reportedly planning to propose within the next six months and already introducing Sweeney to his three children from his previous marriage to Yael Cohen. Braun was raised in a Conservative Jewish household and is the grandson of Holocaust survivors; Sweeney has previously described growing up in a Christian family.

Neither Sweeney nor Braun has publicly confirmed any plans for conversion or marriage. Formal conversion to Judaism typically requires months to years of study under a sponsoring rabbi, along with participation in community life. A source close to the couple has compared Sweeney to Marilyn Monroe, who converted after marrying playwright Arthur Miller.

The reports have circulated widely online, including on prediction-market platform Polymarket, prompting commentary that conversion would be necessary if the couple marry and raise children Jewish under traditional matrilineal rules.
