Rumors suggesting that AC Milan and United States men's national team standout Christian Pulisic is romantically involved with Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney have begun to spread around social media. The unverified chatter, first seen in posts from Italian accounts and subsequently spread by international gossip pages, has turned what started as vague conjecture into a global talking point, even though neither Pulisic nor Sweeney has publicly confirmed or addressed the claim.

Within hours, the speculation spread rapidly across platforms. There is, however, no concrete evidence, no photos, public sighting, or official comment, to substantiate the narrative. Pulisic took to social media this weekend to directly address the rumors, a rare move for the usually private star. His message came just hours after a commanding performance on the pitch that saw AC Milan cruise to a 3-0 Serie A victory. Pulisic did not mince words in his Instagram Stories post, calling on media and online sources to "stop with the made up stories" about his private life and stressing that inaccurate reports can "affect people's lives." Why two famous names linked together created big buzz The idea of a tie between one of soccer's most recognizable U.S. stars and an A-list Hollywood actor might seem plausible given their larger-than-life profiles. Christian Pulisic, 27, has cemented himself as a linchpin for AC Milan since his arrival in Serie A, regularly contributing goals and assists while also preparing for key international fixtures with the United States ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on home soil. In 2025, Pulisic set a new career-high for league goals in a calendar year, netting 13 times for Milan, his most in a single season in club football, even while facing interruptions due to injury and illness. He has also passed Clint Dempsey's long-standing record to become the most prolific American scorer in Europe's top five leagues, tallying 59 goals across stints with Dortmund, Chelsea, and Milan. On the international stage, Pulisic remains a central figure for the USMNT. He continues to captain a team under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino that is building toward the 2026 World Cup on home soil, an event expected to define this generation of American soccer. Off the pitch, he has been known for guarding his privacy, with his only widely discussed relationship in recent years being with professional golfer Alexa Melton, whom he has appeared with on social media since mid-2024. Sydney Sweeney, 27, occupies a distinctly different public sphere as one of Hollywood's fastest-rising actors. The actress, known for acclaimed roles in Euphoria, Christy, and The Housemaid, confirmed in 2025 that she ended her engagement to producer Jonathan Davino. She has since been linked to Scooter Braun; however, those rumors have not been confirmed by Sweeney or Braun.
