Balancing Work and Romance
Sweeney has been in Australia since May, filming the live-action movie Gundama military science-fiction soap opera based on the 1979 Sunrise mecha anime series Mobile Suit Gundam. Despite her busy schedule, she has made time for her beau, with whom she began dating in September 2026. The couple has been practically inseparable ever since.
On a recent Saturday, they were spotted enjoying a climb on the Sydney Harbour Bridge with Braun’s children, Jagger, Levi, and Hart. The actress appeared to be bonding with the kids, and all were all smiles when they reached the top, taking a moment to enjoy the view together.
The Gundam Project
The live-action Gundam movie, directed by Jim Mickle, chronicles the stories of giant mechanized robots, interstellar warfare, and complex political conflicts. Sweeney is set to play a lead rival mech pilot in the film alongside fellow actor Noah Centineo. The cast also includes Jason Isaacs and Michael Mando in supporting roles.
The production is actively underway in Queensland, bringing one of Japan’s most popular anime franchises to the big screen in live-action form. Sweeney’s role in the project has kept her busy, but she has managed to find a balance between work and personal life.
Euphoria and Controversy
Sweeney’s recent work in Euphoria season three has also garnered attention. Her character, Cassie Howard, turns to selling X-rated content on OnlyFans, strutting around in puppy costumes and revealing lingerie. Sweeney has spoken about her decision to take on these daring scenes, emphasizing her commitment to portraying Cassie in the most vulnerable and insane way possible.
‘I’m playing a character,’ Sweeney explained. ‘Do I agree with all of Cassie’s decisions? Would I personally make these choices? No, of course not. But I’m an actor and that’s my job.’ She added that she was keen to portray Cassie in a manner that brought the show’s creator Sam Levinson’s vision to life.
Levinson also defended the OnlyFans storyline, explaining that it explores the realities of young people seeking fast cash in today’s digital age. ‘The question is, what are the long-term consequences of that?’ he said, highlighting the complexities of the issue.
As Sweeney continues to balance her demanding roles with her personal life, her time in Sydney with Braun offers a glimpse into the actress’s world beyond the screen. From romantic strolls to adventurous climbs, the couple is making the most of their time together in the Harbour City.
