Sydney Sweeney’s Ex Denies Using Her as Their Company Ends

Sydney Sweeney, rising as a prominent figure in Hollywood, has garnered attention not only for her acting roles and popular lingerie line but also for her production company, Fifty-Fifty Films LLC. Co-founded in 2019 with her then-fiancé Jonathan Davino, the company was behind projects like Sweeney’s film Immaculate and the romantic comedy Anyone But You. In 2025, following the couple’s breakup, the production company began a process of dissolution. TMZ reported that the company filed paperwork to dissolve last December, marking the official end of their joint business endeavors.

Conflicting Claims About Their Relationship and Business Partnership

The exact nature of Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino’s breakup has not been publicly clarified, but rumors and reports suggest tension between the two. Sources close to the situation have offered differing perspectives, sparking a debate about whether the split was amicable or contentious. TMZ highlighted that some insiders claim Jonathan Davino has been telling others that he “made” Sydney Sweeney, implying he played a crucial role in her success. Conversely, reports indicate that Sweeney might feel she was “used” by Davino during their relationship and business partnership.

The Transition Toward a New Chapter with a Fresh Production Venture

While rumors suggest disagreement, other sources deny that Davino has made such claims about his role in Sweeney’s career or that he sought to exploit her. Instead, they say Davino views the closure of Fifty-Fifty Films as a respectful end, and he is reportedly flattered that Sweeney plans to launch a new production company under the same name. This means that although the original company will cease to exist, the brand and its mission may continue under Sydney’s sole leadership.

It is common for couples who end personal relationships to dissolve shared businesses, as maintaining professional ties often complicates moving forward independently. The absence of any court battle over the company, unlike high-profile disputes such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s lengthy struggle over their winery, suggests that Sweeney and Davino were able to negotiate an agreement. Sources say that Sweeney may have bought out Davino’s share of the business, although this has not been independently verified. The reasons behind ending the original entity instead of retaining it remain unclear.

What Lies Ahead for Sydney Sweeney’s Career and Relationships

With Fifty-Fifty Films officially closing, Sydney Sweeney is prepared to focus on her solo ventures, which now include the foundation of a new production company sharing the same name. Meanwhile, she appears to be in a new relationship with music executive Scooter Braun, though any potential business collaborations between them have yet to be revealed. As Sweeney moves forward, this professional and personal fresh start signals a new phase in her career amid intense public and media scrutiny.
