Sydney Sweeney Reportedly Meets With Two Rabbis as She Considers Converting to Judaism for Future With Scooter Braun
The actor's meetings followed her appearance with Braun at Rosh Hashanah services, but neither has confirmed plans to convert

Sydney Sweeney has reportedly met with two rabbis while considering conversion to Judaism, as she and Scooter Braun discuss their future together and the possibility of starting a family. Neither has publicly confirmed a conversion plan.
The report follows their attendance at Rosh Hashanah services at Temple Sholom in Greenwich, Connecticut. Their synagogue appearance has drawn renewed attention following the account of Sweeney's meetings with religious advisers.
Sources Link Conversion Discussions to Family Plans
Page Six reported on 5 October that unnamed sources had described discussions about marriage, children and conversion. One source said the couple were 'discussing having their own family' and that the religious question was important to Braun.
Another source said Sweeney had met with two rabbis while considering conversion. The report did not identify the rabbis, describe the meetings or specify whether they were introductory conversations or part of a formal process.
Those details matter because seeking information about a religion is different from deciding to convert. The reported meetings provide a possible indication of Sweeney's interest, but they do not establish a commitment or timetable.
The family discussions also remain privately sourced. Neither person has publicly announced an engagement or confirmed the reported plans to have children together.
Synagogue Appearance Preceded Latest Report
Sweeney's appearance at Rosh Hashanah services provided the immediate background to the conversion story. Braun has spoken about his Jewish upbringing, while Sweeney has previously described attending Sunday school during childhood.
Those accounts offer context, but they do not establish Sweeney's current religious beliefs. Attending a service with a partner also does not, on its own, indicate an intention to convert.
The distinction is particularly relevant here because the reported synagogue appearance and the alleged rabbi meetings are separate events. The latter account comes from unnamed sources rather than a statement from Sweeney or a religious adviser.
Coverage repeating the original report should therefore not be treated as additional confirmation. The publicly available account remains dependent on the publication's sources.
Braun Publicly Celebrates Their Partnership
The conversion report follows a more public expression of affection from Braun. On 12 September, Sweeney's 29th birthday, he shared a video of the couple dancing and described her as 'the exception to every rule'.
In the tribute, reported by 'Us Weekly', he credited her with showing him 'how life with true partnership can be lived'. He also wrote that she had made the future something he could not wait to reach.
The birthday message provides a direct account of Braun's feelings, unlike the anonymously sourced discussions about marriage and children. It does not establish that the couple have agreed on those next steps.
Braun has three children from his previous marriage to Yael Cohen. Reports about Sweeney's relationship with his family have formed part of the broader coverage of their romance, but the latest conversion story concerns possible future plans rather than an announced change in family circumstances.
Conversion Requirements Differ Between Communities
Conversion to Judaism generally involves religious education, participation in Jewish life and guidance from a rabbi. Requirements vary among Jewish movements and communities, so a meeting does not establish which process someone might pursue.
The report does not identify a religious movement, congregation overseeing a conversion or an agreed timetable. It would therefore be premature to describe Sweeney as formally undergoing conversion or to suggest that a decision is imminent.
For now, the story rests on reported conversations about religion and family, alongside the couple's synagogue appearance and Braun's public birthday tribute. Sweeney has not publicly confirmed that she intends to convert, and the meetings described by unnamed sources do not establish that a formal conversion process has begun.
