Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino keep their relationship pretty private.

Though Sweeney has been linked to the Chicago-based Davino since 2018, they have kept their romance mostly out of the spotlight.

Aside from a few appearances together, including at an Emmys party in 2018 and some PDA-filled vacations, they don't post about each other on social media.

In March 2022, PEOPLE confirmed the couple's engagement after the Euphoria actress was spotted with a diamond ring on her left ring finger on Feb. 28.

Sweeney has never publicly talked about their relationship, though she has hinted at it in a few various interviews.

"I don't date actors or musicians or anyone in entertainment because I can just be normal Syd that way and it's easiest," she said. "I have a great support system. I have people who will battle for me and allow me to be on the pedestal and shine without making me feel like, Oh no, I'm shining too bright and I need to step back."
