Is Sydney Sweeney gay? Here’s the truth behind 'Reality' star's sexuality rumors

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It won’t be an understatement to say that Sydney Sweeney, 25, is one of the most glamorous actresses in Hollywood. Sweeney is known for oozing charm, both on and off the screens. From playing a “sexualized character” like Cassie Howard in ‘Euphoria’ to the uber-rich Olivia Mossbacher in ‘The White Lotus’, the range of characters played by her is quite diverse. One of the characters that will be breaking the mold of Sweeney’s usual career graph will be the release of ‘Reality’ where she would be playing the American whistleblower Reality Winner.

However, 'The Handmaid’s Tale’ star, who is mostly known for creating magic through graphic intimate scenes, was once speculated to be gay by her fans. It all started with a social media post during the Thanksgiving of 2020, which took her social media followers into a frenzy and made her fans speculate about Sweeney’s sexuality. While the rumors were never addressed by the ‘Everything Sucks!’ actress, her fans continued to question her sexuality, where they thought she might not be as straight as it was reported earlier.

When did the rumors start?

An innocuous post from around the Thanksgiving of 2020 started the speculation among Sweeney’s fans that the Emmy-nominated actress has some queer inclinations, and she is probably gay. As Sweeney shared a photo with one of her female friends, fans started spotting traces of homoerotic energy in the photo which Sweeney shared with the caption, “Baby girl go have a feast. your girl at prom ;)”

Since then, there have been no further posts from Sweeney’s side that could substantiate the fans’ speculation regarding Sweeney’s sexuality. On the other hand, Sweeney has often been linked with a plethora of hot male Hollywood actors in the last few years. Having said that, she announced her engagement to her long-time boyfriend Jonathan Davino in early 2022, with whom she made the trip to the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

'Cassie is a sexualized character'

While the rumor of Sweeney’s being lesbian is unsubstantiated, she has always been vocal about using her body to exude her creativity as an artist. “I’ve always felt that there are necessary moments [in which] Cassie only knows how to communicate through her body. I’ve always wanted to make sure that anything that is used sexually through Cassie actually is moving the story forward,” Sweeney said while talking about the character of Cassie from ‘Euphoria’ to Hollywood Reporter. She added, “Cassie is a sexualized character, and that became a mold that was then [forced] onto me as a human being instead of just Cassie. I was seeing people say, “Oh, she only got this because she showed her b**bs.”

'SYDNEY SWEENEY GAY?'

As Sweeney shared the photo of her with her friend, fans started with their speculations on social media. One fan questioned, "SYDNEY SWEENEY GAY???", while another commented, "THE GAYS STAY WINNING PURRR SYDNEY SWEENEY GAY ?? HETEROSEXUALS STAY LOOSING LOLZZZZ ." Sharing the same tweet, one said, "SYDNEY SWEENEY IS GAY OH MY GOD IM LIVING A WIN FOR THE GAYS."

A user jokingly wrote, "Sydney sweeney gay as hell i don't even care how straight that woman may be irl BECAUSE we are queering her," and another user jestingly stated, "From now on thanksgiving is a day where we give thanks to sydney sweeney for being gay."
