Speculation linking AC Milan and United States men’s national team star Christian Pulisic with Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney has circulated widely on social media, despite a lack of evidence or confirmation from either party.
The unverified claims first appeared on Italian social media pages before spreading to international gossip accounts. What began as vague online conjecture quickly gained traction, turning into a global talking point without factual support.
Neither Christian Pulisic nor Sydney Sweeney initially commented on the rumours. The Italian Instagram account DNA da Bomba first hinted at a possible connection, while Italian media outlets, including La Gazzetta dello Sport, cautiously referenced the chatter in broader celebrity coverage.

Despite the online buzz, no photographs, public appearances, or official statements emerged to support the claims.
Pulisic addressed the speculation directly over the weekend, an uncommon step for the usually private footballer. Posting on Instagram Stories shortly after a dominant 3–0 Serie A win by AC Milan, he urged media outlets and online sources to “stop with the made-up stories.” He warned that inaccurate reporting about personal lives can have real consequences.
The rumours gained traction largely because of the high profiles involved. Pulisic, 27, remains one of the most recognisable American footballers abroad. Since joining Milan, he has played a key role in Serie A, contributing goals and assists while preparing for major international competitions with the United States.

In 2025, he recorded a career-high 13 league goals for Milan in a calendar year. He also surpassed Clint Dempsey to become the highest-scoring American in Europe’s top five leagues, with 59 goals across spells at Dortmund, Chelsea, and Milan.
At the international level, Pulisic continues to captain the USMNT under head coach Mauricio Pochettino, as the team builds toward the 2026 FIFA World Cup on home soil.

Away from football, Pulisic has kept his private life largely out of the spotlight. His only widely known recent relationship has been with professional golfer Alexa Melton, with whom he has appeared on social media since mid-2024.
Sweeney, also 27, operates in a different public sphere as one of Hollywood’s fastest-rising actors. She has earned acclaim for roles in Euphoria, Immaculate, and The Housemaid. In 2025, she confirmed the end of her engagement to producer Jonathan Davino. Subsequent rumours linking her to Scooter Braun have also remained unconfirmed.
Pulisic’s public denial has done little to slow online speculation, but it underscores the growing tension between celebrity privacy and viral rumour culture.
