United States Men’s National Team captain and AC Milan star Christian Pulisic has officially addressed the viral rumors linking him to “Euphoria” actress Sydney Sweeney. During a media availability session in Milan on December 29, 2025, the 27-year-old soccer star took a moment to clarify his personal life following weeks of intense internet speculation that the two were Hollywood’s newest “it couple.”
The rumors gained momentum in early December after both stars were spotted at a high-profile fashion event in Paris. Social media fans quickly began circulating photos of the pair allegedly sharing a conversation, leading to widespread “shipping” on platforms like TikTok and X. The speculation intensified when fans noted that Pulisic had recently “liked” several of Sweeney’s Instagram posts, a common catalyst for modern celebrity dating rumors.
However, Pulisic was quick to set the record straight when asked about his relationship status. “I’ve seen the reports, and I honestly don’t know where they came from,” the winger said with a laugh. “I met Sydney once at an event, and she was very kind, but that is the extent of it. We are not dating, and we aren’t in contact. I’m completely focused on the season with Milan and the upcoming international fixtures.” Pulisic, who has historically kept his private life away from the tabloids, seemed eager to shift the conversation back to his performance on the pitch.
Sydney Sweeney, who has been in a long-term relationship with fiancé Jonathan Davino since 2018, has not issued a formal statement, though sources close to the
actress previously characterized the rumors as “completely baseless” and “internet fiction.” The actress has frequently dealt with similar rumors involving co-stars and public figures, often choosing to ignore the noise in favor of her professional projects.
The denial brings an end to a brief but loud cycle of celebrity gossip that briefly merged the worlds of international soccer and prestige television. While fans of both stars may have been excited by the prospect of a high-profile crossover, Pulisic’s direct response confirms that he remains single and dedicated to his career in Italy. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Pulisic’s focus appears to be firmly on leading the USMNT rather than navigating the Hollywood romance allegations.
