Sydney Sweeney reveals brother has been deployed overseas in emotional message

Sydney Sweeney has shared a rare personal glimpse into her family life, revealing that her younger brother has been deployed overseas.

The Euphoria star posted a photo of her brother, Trent, in military uniform during a video call, describing how much those moments mean while he is away.

“Receiving calls from my bro always make me happy when he’s deployed,” she wrote, alongside a message thanking troops serving abroad.

“Thinking of all our boys and girls overseas and sending my love. Thank you for your service.”

Her brother, Trent Sweeney, 25, serves in the US Air Force and was promoted to staff sergeant in August 2025.

It remains unclear where he has been deployed or whether his assignment is linked to current geopolitical tensions.

The post marks a more personal turn for the actress, who rarely speaks publicly about her family, offering fans a quieter moment amid her high-profile career.

The update also comes as Sweeney continues to navigate public scrutiny beyond her acting work.

She has faced backlash in recent months over perceived political messaging, particularly following a denim campaign that drew criticism online and led to her being labelled “MAGA Barbie” by some critics.

In a recent interview, Sweeney pushed back against that characterisation, saying she does not see herself as a political figure.

“I’ve always been here to make art,” she said. “That’s not a conversation I want to be at the forefront of.”
