Sydney Sweeney is single and ready to mingle.

After months of speculation regarding her relationship status since calling off her wedding to longtime partner Jonathan Davino, Sweeney has officially broken her silence on her love life. In a new interview with The Times, the Anything But You star confirmed that she is indeed a single woman.

Sweeney and Davino, a producer who has worked alongside Sweeney on several projects, first sparked dating rumors in late 2018 when they were spotted attending several industry events together. The couple made their relationship official, but Sweeney has shied away from sharing too many details about her personal life as her star has risen. The couple got engaged in 2022, but rumors began swirling earlier this year that there might be trouble in their relationship. In February, Sweeney’s ever-present engagement ring was suddenly missing.

When asked about this by The Times, and whether she was still in the process of planning her wedding, the 27-year-old star simply said “No.” When pressed further and asked whether she was currently single, Sweeney confirmed the news. And said that she is “learning a lot about myself, [and] spending more time with my friends” as a result of her relationship status change.

Perhaps most telling was Sweeney’s final comment on no longer being engaged: “I’m loving it.”

Sweeney has also been incredibly busy with a number of projects, including filming the long-awaited season of Euphoria, and a new guy in her life: an adorable puppy named Sully.

But Sweeney knows that finding a balance is important. As she told The Times, she is trying to learn how to be better about slowing down and taking time off. “I hear it more from my family than myself,” she said: “‘Sydney, you’re going to burn out. Sydney, you need to slow down. Sydney, you need to take a break.’”

Earlier this year, Southwest Airlines made the controversial decision to end its longstanding policy of allowing two free checked bags for each customer. However, as the airline implements the policy change this month, it sounds like they will have a major problem on their hands going forward.

As Roger Dooley of Forbes points out, before Southwest officially decided to ditch its policy of free checked bags, the airline conducted its own research that indicated the change would lead to about $1.8 billion in market share compared to at best $1.5 billion in annual bag fee revenue.

“Southwest projected $1.5 billion in annual bag fee revenue. But if its own research about losing $1.8 billion in market share proves accurate, this could become a textbook case of how short-term financial pressure can destroy long-term brand value,” Dooley wrote for Forbes.

Simple math indicates that the change is a losing proposition in the long run as they are losing more potential revenue in market share than they are gaining from the bag fees.

“The real test isn’t whether Southwest can collect $35 per bag. It’s whether it can keep collecting anything at all from long-term, loyal customers who now have plenty of motivation to look elsewhere. It’s too soon to tell how all this will shake out, but it’s clear Southwest has placed a high-risk bet that it will retain most of its customers despite the changed brand experience,” Dooley wrote.

We’ll have to see how the airline adapts after making the controversial change, but the initial projections seem to indicate that this could work for Southwest Airlines in the short term, it does not seem to be sustainable in the long run unless something else changes.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the fifth season of Stranger Things for three years.

There have been teases, including a lengthy Instagram post by the show’s co-creator last December, and Netflix’s revelation that the show will be released in 2025.

With Netflix Tudum 2025 streaming live on May 31, 2025, anticipation is rising that major announcements will be made about Stranger Things Season 5, including possibly a trailer release and formal release date.

In December, Netflix confirmed the fifth season is done filming and will come out in 2025, but an official date was not released. “Production on the fifth and final season of Stranger Things has officially wrapped, set to premiere in 2025,” the streaming giant wrote.

“The stars you love are joining Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event tonight — including host Sofia Carson, a perennial Netflix star who makes a most excellent choice to emcee a live event dedicated to the series and films you know and love,” Netflix wrote on May 31. 

“Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event is a global fan extravaganza…Tudum LIVE will stream on Netflix from Los Angeles at 5:00 p.m. PT / 8:00 p.m. ET.”

Netflix wrote that Lady Gaga will perform at the live Tudum event, and viewers “can expect to see exclusive sneak previews and the stars from such highly anticipated titles” as Stranger Things, Squid Game, Wednesday, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, and The Rip.

Talent from shows like Outer Banks and more will appear.

“We’ve been telling this story for nearly a decade now,” wrote Stranger Things co-creator Ross Duffer in the lengthy Instagram post. “Many of our cast members joined us when they were kids, just ten or eleven years old. It wasn’t just a show for them — it was a defining part of their childhood. They’ve grown up before our eyes, becoming more than actors—they’ve become family.”

He added: “But it’s not just the cast we consider family. Our crew — many of whom have been with us from the very beginning — holds a special place in our hearts. Their dedication and passion have been the backbone of this journey. Everyone involved was determined to bring this story to a satisfying conclusion. They poured their hearts and souls into it, and we couldn’t be more proud of what they’ve accomplished. We can’t wait to share it with you all next year. Until then — over and out.”
