Sydney Sweeney, the Emmy-nominated star of HBO’s Euphoria and The White Lotus, is in the middle of a personal and real estate transition after ending her engagement to longtime partner Jonathan Davino. Despite their split, extensive renovations continue on the luxurious Los Angeles property the former couple purchased together for $6.2 million USD (approximately $10.1 million AUD).
According to aerial photos and reports obtained by The U.S. Sun and Page Six, construction crews are actively working on the sprawling Bel Air estate. The home has remained largely empty, with building materials and debris visible in the front yard, suggesting that significant upgrades and remodeling are still in progress.
Interestingly, Jonathan Davino has been spotted on-site multiple times, seemingly overseeing the ongoing construction efforts. In contrast, Sydney Sweeney has rarely been seen at the estate in recent months and is rumored to be staying at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel during this transition period.
Property Details: A Classic 1930s Estate with Modern Ambitions
The luxury compound, originally built in the 1930s, sits on 1.25 acres of prime Bel Air real estate. The estate features a spacious two-story main house with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. In addition to the main structure, the property includes a detached guesthouse in the rear — a potentially valuable asset whether used for guests or as a rental unit.
Before their purchase in July 2023 at an exclusive auction, the home had fallen into disrepair, with overgrown landscaping and visible signs of neglect. However, the former couple embarked on a major renovation project shortly after the acquisition. Early updates have reportedly included clearing the property of unmaintained plants, redesigning the interiors, and updating the exterior to suit modern luxury tastes.
According to property records, the duo financed the home with a $4.34 million mortgage from City National Bank, with the loan set to mature on June 1, 2053. It remains unclear whether Sweeney and Davino had originally planned to live in the home themselves or use it as an investment or rental property.
A Relationship Once Headed for Marriage Comes to an End
Sydney Sweeney, 27, and Jonathan Davino, 41, had been romantically linked since 2018. The couple got engaged in 2022 after several years of dating, and there were multiple reports that they were planning a wedding for May 2025. However, in early April, People magazine confirmed that the two had officially called off the engagement and were no longer planning to marry.
Sources close to the actress shared that while the split wasn’t due to a lack of affection, the pressures of balancing her skyrocketing career with personal life led to the decision. “She’s not ready to settle down,” a source told People. “They didn’t split because there was no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now.”
Another insider added that Sweeney felt emotionally overwhelmed by the relationship and the responsibilities surrounding their engagement and upcoming wedding. “Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd,” the source said. “She’s all about working right now and very excited about all her projects. What did make her overwhelmed, though, was her relationship and her wedding. She didn’t feel right about it.”
Post-Split Dynamics: Still in Contact Amid Property Ties
Despite ending their engagement, Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino appear to remain on amicable terms. In fact, the two were spotted together on April 5 in Los Angeles, dining at a casual restaurant and walking Sweeney’s dog, Tank. This outing sparked renewed speculation about the nature of their relationship post-breakup.
A source close to the situation clarified that while the romantic relationship is over, the two are still in contact — likely due in part to their shared property interests and long-standing personal history. “They’ve remained friendly,” said the source. “They spent years together, and even though the engagement ended, they are navigating some shared responsibilities — especially the Bel Air property.”
Whether the two will decide to sell the property, continue co-owning it, or have one party buy out the other’s share remains unclear.
Sweeney’s Real Estate Portfolio and Career Focus
While her Bel Air home remains under construction and embroiled in co-ownership complexities, Sydney Sweeney isn’t short on property. The actress also owns a $3 million Tudor-style home in Westwood, a neighborhood in LA’s Westside. That home was purchased in 2021 and is believed to be her primary residence.
Professionally, Sweeney’s star continues to rise. She recently starred in Sony’s romantic comedy Anyone But You, opposite Glen Powell, and has multiple upcoming film and television projects. Insiders report that her packed schedule includes promotional tours, new filming projects, and appearances for ongoing campaigns, making this one of the busiest periods in her career to date.
Her focus is clearly on her career, and those close to her say she’s in a good place professionally. “She’s exactly where she wants to be,” a source told People. “There’s no time for distraction right now. Her team and her work are her top priorities.”
Clarifying Romance Rumors with Glen Powell
Sydney Sweeney’s chemistry with Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell fueled rumors of a romantic connection during and after filming. These rumors intensified after she attended Powell’s sister’s wedding in Texas. However, Glen Powell’s mother, Cyndy Powell, dismissed the speculation in a recent interview, affirming that Sweeney was simply a friend and had formed a close bond with the family during filming.
“There’s nothing romantic going on,” she told People, helping put to rest ongoing gossip about a potential relationship between the two actors.
What’s Next for the Former Couple and the $6.2M Estate?
As it stands, the future of the Bel Air property remains uncertain. With renovations still underway and both parties now living separate lives, decisions will need to be made about the ownership and future use of the home.
Will they continue to hold it as a joint investment? Will one buy out the other? Or will they put it on the market in the booming LA real estate scene?
Only time will tell. But what’s clear is that Sydney Sweeney is charging ahead — focused, career-driven, and redefining her path after stepping away from a nearly decade-long relationship.
